The Sensor Customization Process
If our off-the-shelf force sensors don’t meet your requirements, we invite you to discuss custom solutions with our team of engineers. Thanks to the unique construction and operating capabilities of FlexiForce sensors, Tekscan can create custom-designed force sensors to meet your specific OEM needs.The Process Begins by Identifying Your Application's Needs
Tekscan Sales & Applications Engineers with gather the broad design specifics for your sensor customization project through a brief questionnaire. This baseline information will help us begin developing your custom solution.
After Further Conversations, a Formalized Quote is Submitted to the Customer
Tekscan Sales & Applications engineers will work directly with you to ensure your sensor design needs are met with regards to performance and budget.
Sensor Design is Approved by the Customer, and Production Begins
Tekscan will keep customers informed on expected production and delivery times throughout this final stage.
Engaging with our team throughout the design process saves you time, money, and resources. This design collaboration results in a lower cost, shorter design cycle, and ultimately, a successful product.
