Tekscan Wiper System
Utilizing a tactile pressure sensor, the Wiper system measures wiper blade to windshield interface force profiles under various testing conditions. The Wiper system measures the force distribution along the entire length of the blade at different positions on the windshield, providing important insights to improve design. The system is used as a research and development tool to improve blade and wiper system performance under different conditions such as “lift-off.”
