In the automotive industry, accurate evaluation of the contact conditions between parts is essential to ensure safety and quality. Particularly in areas where contact pressure significantly affects performance, such as impact absorption during collisions and the sealing of doors, it is important to visualize and analyze pressure distribution in detail. Inadequate contact conditions can lead to abnormal noises and early deterioration of parts. The Presscale Station, when combined with Presscale, enables the visualization and quantification of contact pressure, contributing to the improvement of automotive parts quality. 【Application Scenarios】 - Measurement of pressure distribution in seats - Measurement of sealing pressure in doors - Measurement of contact pressure in bumpers 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Early detection of issues through visualization of contact pressure - Objective evaluation through quantification of pressure distribution - Increased efficiency in quality management and cost reduction
