Fujifilm Prescale^®

The Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System

The Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System is a revolutionary stress measurement instrument for analyzing pressure distribution and magnitude. It’s user-friendly Windows based software enables the characterization of how force is disbursed in any process or assembly where two surfaces contact or impact.

What Exactly Is This System?

The system consists of a specially calibrated densitimetric scanner and Windows^® software. An essential component of the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System is the pressure indicating film commonly known as Fujifilm Prescale^®. These sensor films change coloration permanently and instantaneously in response to pressure being applied to them. The Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System is then used to create an enhanced image and interpret the stress marks on the film. From this, the scanner system renders high resolution, color calibrated images and a wealth of statistical information pertaining to the analyzed film.

A World Of Uses

With the introduction of the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System, engineers now have a truly affordable tool of unparalleled power and accuracy. Whether your function is R&D, design or quality assurance, the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System improves yield, ensures parallelism, registers the precise characteristics of an impact, validates press uniformity and aids in all types of machine calibration.

Any situation in your manufacturing process or R&D center where there are two objects or surfaces coming into contact, presents an opportunity for the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System to perform.

Unlike FEA, the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System is a post-process interpretive system that actually collects data from a proprietary tactile transducer.

Powerful, Simple To Use

While the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System is equipped with an extensive array of features, you can perform a simple analysis in a matter of minutes. The system makes it extremely easy for a new user to extract and utilize important information. Simply scan in your exposed pressure indicating film, key in a few input variables, and the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System instantly generates full-color pressure maps and accompanying statistical data.

A Better Way Of Looking At Pressure

The Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System enables you to view, rotate and flip your application image in a two or three dimensional space while choosing among four different color palettes. Images can be further enhanced by varying the number of colors displayed or by utilizing the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System’s powerful smoothing and threshholding functions. All in an effort to uncover otherwise unseen detail.

Information At The Touch Of A Button

One example of the Fujifilm Prescale scanner system’s powerful, single keystroke features is the ability to determine the pressure profile along a user-defined line. This line can be reduced to the width of a pixel, or expanded as wide as the image itself. This is a useful tool for assessing narrow bands of pressure over unusual or intricate shapes.

The region statistics function yields total pressure, average PSI (or metric kg/cm²) and standard deviation for the entire image or a user-defined region.

Precise Statistics Make This System Unbeatable

The Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System reads and interprets pressure variation by optically analyzing your pressure indicating sensor films and assimilating this data into a series of easy-to-read formats. A single keystroke generates the Histogram, a report that reveals the statistical distribution of pressure levels throughout your image. Of course, as with all the Fujifilm Prescale^® Scanner System functions, you can perform a Histogram on a user-defined region of interest.
