Quick and Precise Visualization of Mechanical Stress with Prescale Pressure-Sensitive Films
Prescale multilayer films enable straightforward and accurate measurement of pressure loads directly at the point of action. These innovative pressure-sensitive films provide a reliable visualization of mechanical stresses at contact and connection points. With minimal technical effort and low cost, they offer an immediate picture of the stress distribution on surfaces or components. This makes Prescale films an indispensable tool for technicians seeking to quickly assess surface pressure conditions across various industries.
How Prescale Pressure-Sensitive Films Work
The functionality of Prescale films is based on an innovative multilayer technology with integrated micro-ink capsules. When placed between two active surfaces, these microcapsules break under pressure and leave a visible magenta print representing the applied forces. The films come in nine variations to measure pressure loads from 0.006 N/mm² to 300 N/mm² and are only 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters thick, allowing them to be used in tight gaps and complex setups.
Applications and Benefits
Prescale films are used in aerospace, assembly testing, and material analysis in packaging technology. They are easy to handle, supplied in rolls or as sheets, and can be cut to the required size. When placed between active surfaces, they generate pressure prints that provide an initial assessment of stress with ±10% accuracy. For more precise results, the Prescale analysis software and optical measurement system can be employed.
Accurate Analysis with Software and Scanner
Kager offers a comprehensive system that includes a high-speed flatbed scanner and visualization software from Fujifilm for highly accurate measurements. This system delivers precision up to ±2% and allows detailed 3D renderings. Such precision facilitates accurate assessments of forces acting on joints or components, aiding in the optimization of parts and processes.
