Tactilus® Technology
The Tactilus Bodyfitter® system is designed to allow the manufacturer and retailer to measure pressure distribution and magnitude between the customer and sleeping surface.
Bodyfitter® captures data from a series of sensor points propagated across the body surface and assimilates the data into our powerful Windows® based software providing you with colorized pressure maps (pictured above) and detailed statistical reports.
The Bodyfitter® force sensor offers the dual capability of measuring both pressure and temperature distribution.
Tactilus Bodyfitter® is the most economical, scientific and user-friendly system for surface pressure mapping available today, both in the lab as well as in-store.
Tactilus® is matrix based tactile surface sensor that works by the principle of piezoresistance. Tiny sensing cells cover the entire surface area of our sensor “skin” allowing for discrete spot pressure analysis at any point in the contact region.
Sensor Products primary proposition is to offer our clients precisely what they require or need. To that end, everything we design can be completely tailored to your unique situation.
