Pliance® by Novel - State of the art technology for pressure distribution measurement
pliance systems offer the state of the art technology for pressure distribution measurement between soft and curved surfaces. The systems consist of a flexible and elastic measuring mat, a multi-channel analyser, a calibration device and a software package for PC''s.
As in all physical measuring systems the most important part is the sensor technology. pliance works with capacitive transducers in a matrix configuration. The elasticity of the sensor mats permits perfect comformability to 3-dimensional deformations.
The pressure transducing elements contain high-tech elastomers manufactured by novel. Restoring force, range of force, threshold, hysteresis, temperature effect, frequency response and other characteristics are determined during the manufacturing process. This makes it possible to adapt the sensor characteristic to different measuring needs. The elastic measuring mats are available in various sizes, sensor configurations and pressure ranges.
