Y-SERIES Sensors

Y-SERIES SENSORS Flexible tactile sensors for pressure monitoring on large surfaces

The Tactilus® Y sensor is a flexible surface tactile sensor based on a matrix and fabric structure, a kind of “electronic skin” capable of detecting and interpreting the distribution and intensity of pressure between two contacting surfaces. It is used exclusively for standard Seat and Mattress sensors.

Human-machine interfaces: Optimization of pressure at contact points in operational or vehicular environments

Main advantages

Flexible and lightweight sensors: Ideal for applications on soft or deformable surfaces
Cross-platform compatible software: Windows® (Tactilus Scientific 10,WP2) e iOS (Body Fitter 2.0,WP2) , Android (WP2)
Modular structure: Easy to scale, integrate and transport
High precision and repeatability: Each sensor is individually calibrated and serialized

The collected data is processed using powerful software available for both Windows® (Tactilus Scientific 10 and WP2) , iOS (Body Fitter 2.0, WP2), Android (WP2) , offering versatile and advanced solutions for a wide range of applications.

Each Tactilus® Y sensor is assembled with the utmost precision, individually calibrated, and serialized. Its modular architecture ensures portability, scalability, and the ability to perform simultaneous measurements from multiple independent sensors.

Tactilus® uses advanced mathematical algorithms to effectively distinguish signal from noise and adopts advanced electronic shielding techniques that maximize the sensor’s resistance to interference, temperature variations, and humidity.
