The I-Scan® system is Tekscan’s flagship pressure mapping solution, providing detailed, actionable insight into pressure distribution across virtually any interface. In the automotive industry, where performance, safety, and durability are critical, I-Scan helps engineers measure, visualize, and optimize pressure data to improve products and processes.

Key Features

• Thin, Flexible Sensors: Capture highly detailed pressure data without significantly affecting the interface.
• Customizable Options: Wide range of sizes, shapes, and pressure ranges, with custom designs available.
• Real-Time Visualization: View live pressure profiles and force data as you test.
• Comprehensive Software: Provides metrics such as peak pressure, total force, and center of force location, plus time-based data for dynamic events.
• Data Export & Analysis: Export results for deeper analysis or FEA correlation to validate simulations.
• Portable & Versatile: Use in the lab, at the track, or in production environments.

Common Automotive Applications

• Powertrain & Chassis Components
• Verify uniform pressure in gaskets, seals, clutches, and brakes.
• Reduce the risk of leaks, uneven wear, or premature failure.
• Doors, Weatherstripping & Trim
• Measure seal pressures to prevent leaks and rattles.
• Validate fit and alignment during the design phase.
• Dynamic & Safety Testing
• Capture data during door closing, brake actuation, or impact events.
• Correlate physical results with FEA models.
