Introduction to Pressure Sensors

It is a sheet-type pressure-sensitive sensor. It can sense the pressure distribution across the entire surface. Customization to meet customer specifications is also possible.

We have developed an ultra-thin load sensor of a film laminated type that detects changes in electrical resistance based on the magnitude of the load applied to the pressure-sensitive area. Due to its PET film laminated structure, the sensor is ultra-thin (around 0.5 mm) and offers resistance value output. We can accommodate prototype to mass production based on your desired size, shape, performance, surface processing, and printed design according to your applications and purposes. It is also possible to provide a kit for a "buzzer sound and LED lighting unit" that can be used independently, as well as devices that wirelessly transmit sensing output via Bluetooth. The sensor can detect the degree of load or impact at various points and surfaces. 【Features】 - We can accommodate prototype to mass production based on your desired size, shape, performance, surface processing, and printed design according to your applications and purposes. - Specifications can be modified to detect loads above a specified threshold (for surface application). - Waterproof and dirt-resistant products are also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
