Emtec Upgrades Portable TSA Tactile Sensation Analyser
Germany company Emtec Electronic has launched its redesigned new-and-improved portable device TSA Tactile Sensation Analyser, which aims to revolutionise the way textile manufacturers measure haptics, through a digital experience and will be available to order in 2024.
Much like its predecessor, the new TSA Tactile Sensation Analyser allows manufacturers to objectively measure the subjective traits that determine the way a material feels to the touch, calculate specific hand-feel values, and reliably compare samples.
Now, in addition to measuring the softness, smoothness, flexibility, and deformation/recovery behaviour of base and finished products, the redesign now includes measurement of surface thermal conductivity and thermal insulation, while also measuring springback behavior.
The TSA Tactile Sensation Analyser is now equipped with an integrated high-resolution camera and a cloud-based Virtual Haptic Library.
“We expect the new TSA to be a game-changer for manufacturers wanting to improve and unify product quality, regardless of where the source material is coming from,” Alexander Gruener, Global Marketing and Business Development Manager for Emtec said.
“The Virtual Haptic Library gives designers, technicians, and quality controllers objective parameters to rate, compare and reproduce a product’s exact haptic properties, ultimately saving time, money and resources,” he added.
