CUSTOMIZATION OF FLEXIFORCE SENSORS
Customization is any modification to the standard FlexiForce design.
What is the smallest active sensing area you can make?
The smallest and largest are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the maximum force being applied. It may
be possible to achieve 2mm
2
as long as the PSI remains between 1 and 10,000 PSI.
What is the maximum force range that you can make?
The custom FlexiForce sensors can be made to measure force ranges up to a few thousand pounds as long as pressure
remains below 10,000
PSI.
What is the usual turn-around time for custom designs?
From receipt of purchase order to completion of prototype, 6 – 12 weeks, depending on queue status at the time of order.
What are the minimum and maximum quantities you can do annually?
Due to the cost involved, we typically do not design custom sensors for quantities less than 1,000. The maximum
quantities that can be produced depend on several factors. 1,000,000 custom sensors per year should not pose a problem.
Can you make custom sensors that work with the ELF System?
Yes, we can customize sensors for use with the ELF System.
What is the average cost of a custom design?
Each request is different, depending on size, complexity of design, force ranges, quantities, etc. Please contact
