TF-2020 Tactile Measurement Platform

"Tactile force plate" that can measure minute touch forces

This is a force plate that can measure sensations as minute as tracing your finger.
It can be used to measure the flick/touch force of smartphones, the smoothness and friction force of fabrics, the application force of cosmetics and medicines, force plates for small animals, etc.

Papers/technical information

Features

This is a force plate with a full scale (rated load) of Fx, Fy, Fz = 10N.
In addition, the top plate is made of transparent acrylic, so you can place the camera under the plate.
It is also possible to record the degree of deformation of the finger.

For visualization of surgical skills, evaluation of skin resistance during incision, evaluation of surgical instruments such as scalpels, etc.

USLG-10 3-axis force sensor can be applied

Rated capacity: 10N

Weight: 12g

Size: H27mm, φ10mm, 14mm

Because it is small, it is easy to install a sensor → For example, modify the female and install USLG10 in between.

[Products related to softness and tactile sensation measurement] Measuring instruments that quantify, quantify, and evaluate tactile sensation are capable of measuring tactile sensation, 
tactile presentation, elasticity measurement, etc. It is also possible to quantify the movements of craftsmen who make detailed finger movements. By measuring minute movements, 
the craftsman's sense and technique can be quantified and quantified. It can be used to pass on the technical skills of craftsmen, and it helps pass on intuition and experience, 
such as movement, movement, and force, to future generations. It is possible to measure and evaluate the softness and elasticity of materials.
