Measuring with sound, understanding softness. We have digitized the 'artisan's touch'.
"SOFTGRAM" is a sensor that can easily quantify the previously ambiguous sensation of "softness." Our company aims to enable anyone, anywhere, at any time to easily and accurately quantify the softness of skin, muscles, food, and more. This product, which measures softness through sound, will provide new value to various fields that require accurate measurements of softness. [Features] ■ Visualizes and manages differences that only experts can discern ■ Measurement values are based on the physical quantity of Young's modulus, allowing for quantitative comparison and analysis ■ Includes a measurement support function, enabling anyone to measure with high accuracy ■ Based on measurement principles grounded in physical laws, allowing for comparison and analysis of different materials using the same standard ■ Designed for excellent portability, enabling instant measurement on-site when needed *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Measurement Method and Principle】 ■ Measurement is performed simply by lightly pressing the indenter and contact detection sensor vertically against the measurement surface. ■ Based on Hertz's elastic contact theory. ■ Measures the reaction force of the indenter and calculates the Young's modulus from the indenter diameter and the amount of indentation. ■ Items that can be measured: ・ Soft elastomers that can recover after deformation. ・ Thickness of 5mm or more. ・ Diameter of 20mm or more. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
