Textile Pressure Sensor Solutions for Smart Applications
FSR, Textile Pressure Sensor, and Pressure Matrices
A textile pressure sensor is a flexible, fabric-integrated component that detects pressure changes. The Loomia Electronic Layer can be customized to a textile pressure sensor or matrix in your required shape and size. We can tune sensitivity to meet your requirements. Loomia’s textile pressure sensors combine mechanical robustness with precise pressure sensing.
9 Point Pressure Matrix Example
Single Point Pressure Matrix Example
-
Pressure matrices allow for individual sensing of seperate regions over the surface of a sensor. We can design matrices to in a range of sizes, with sensing sections as small as 0.2" or 5mm each.
-
We work hand-in-hand with your team to customize the sensitivity of textile pressure sensors to meet your spec. Using a combination of masks and layering, we can mask out noisy areas, or create more sensitive zones for your component. Click here to learn more about our customization capabilities.
