Sensor Products Inc. recently introduced its Xsensor, a new electronic tactile force and pressure indicating sensor. Xsensor allows users to monitor precisely how force is disbursed between any two contacting or mating surfaces in real time. Any application where pressure lies between .01 to 12,000 psi (0.007 to 845 kg/cm2) is a viable candidate for Xsensor technology. Xsensor is a Windows(TM)-based system that consists of an electronic sensor element "skin," an interface controller and software. The sensor skin is essentially a thin flexible sheet that is densely packed with sensing points or pixels. These sensing points can be spaced as close as 1 mm (.04 in.) apart and can collect data as rapidly as 500 times per second.
