Inastomer (pressure-sensitive conductive elastomer sensor) is a conductive type created by mixing conductive materials into rubber, which is traditionally considered an insulator. When lightly touched, it produces a small response, and the harder it is pressed, the larger the response becomes, with the resistance continuously changing based on the strength of the applied force. This product utilizes technology that delicately changes the electrical resistance value according to the pressure applied, and it is widely applied in autonomous robots, pen tablets, electronic musical instruments, and more. There is also a growing demand in fields such as pressure distribution measurement. 【Features】 - The sensor thickness is t=0.7 to t=1.0mm, allowing for detection in narrow areas. - The sensor detection area is small, ranging from 3.0mm to 5.0mm, enabling detection of subtle parts. - Easy to mount on bent or curved surfaces. - Can use a maximum current of 5mA, allowing for direct driving of LEDs. - Compared to strain gauge sensors, it offers higher flexibility. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "FEM Analysis System" uses a nonlinear finite element method (FEM) analysis system to analyze and predict changes in resistance due to differences in shape and material. Our company offers simulations using this system to significantly reduce costs by eliminating waste in prototype design and shortening development time, as well as providing optimal proposals for shape and material based on analysis results. This enables the utilization of data accumulated over many years necessary for analysis among the diverse range of rubber materials offered by our rubber manufacturing company, and allows for the measurement of new material data in a short time. 【Features】 ■ Significant reduction in design and prototyping time ■ Reduction in prototyping costs ■ Providing the best solutions through various simulations *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
