PRESCALE is the only film in the world that can measure pressure and pressure distribution visually. Easily measure pressure balance, distribution, and size of an entire surface at a glance. The color appears red where pressure is applied, and the color density varies according to the amount of pressure.
PRESCALE covers a wide pressure range (0.006 to 300 MPa), we supply eight types and nine variations of Prescale.
The microcapsules in the color-forming layer are broken by pressure, and the colorless dye is absorbed into the developer, causing a chemical reaction to produce a red color. The microcapsules containing the color-forming material are adjusted to varying sizes and strengths, and is coated uniformly, producing a color density that corresponds to the amount of pressure.
FUJIFILM's advanced technology in color film manufacturing enables Fuji to produce extremely thin and stable Prescale films of less than 200μm(100μmx2). PRESCALE accuracy is at least better than +/- 10% at 23 ° C to 65% RH humidity.
The many uses of PRESCALE include (but are not limited to): check contact surfaces, uniformity, leakage, physical state, cracks, mechanical movement, rolling, impact and much more, within a variety of industries such as automotive, electronics, metalworking, biomedical, optics, construction, robotics, manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, etc.
In addition, through the mapping software FPD-8010E convert the results of the film into numerical values and visualize and analyze them with greater precision through your computer.
Easy visual check of distribution/uniformity for contact pressure
Contact pressure shown with differing concentrations of color can even be converted into numbers.
Quick at-a-glance measurement with lower cost and no special devices or equipment.
