FREE FORM

The Tactilus® FREE FORM

The Tactilus® free form sensor system is a “user constructed” tactile surface pressure system that provides unprecedented flexibility and ease of use.

The FreeForm philosophy uses single-point sensor to empower the user to select collection rather than the constrained “matrix” inherent in traditional fixed surface sensor skins.

Features and functionality

Designed for multi-axis topographies or curved surfaces, the Tactilus® Free Form sensor system offers engineers the ability to collect and ingest data from up to 32 separate sensor elements simultaneously, positioned at specific points on the application surface to maximize data collection efficiency and value.

This new approach to tactile surface pressure mapping preserves the integrity and utility of the data, allowing engineers to build their own customized sensor “lattice".

Free Form systems easily connect to a HUB, providing simple and immediate integration for centralized data management.
