Flexpoint announces
Agreement with Sensor
Products Inc.
March 3, 2010 8:00 AM
ETDRAPER, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:FLXT )
http://www.flexpoint.com
today announced that
they have entered into a
working relationship
with Sensor Products,
Inc., for the
development of a “nip
sensor,” and for Sensor
Products, Inc., (SPI),
of Madison, NJ
www.sensorprod.com
to market and distribute
Flexpoint’s patented
Bend Sensors® through
their extensive sales,
marketing and
distribution network.
Sensor Products Inc.
is a world leader in the
niche field of tactile
surface pressure and
force sensors. Flexpoint
is currently proceeding
under a purchase order
from SPI on the
development of a “nip
sensor” utilizing Bend
Sensor® technology.
Prototypes of the nip
sensor have been
delivered to SPI for
testing. The nip sensor
will be utilized to
measure actual contact
(interfacial) pressure
and distribution between
two mating or impacting
surfaces. These products
are analytical tools
used in the
manufacturing and R&D
processes by engineers
and technicians. SPI’s
customized and
off-the-shelf systems
are installed within all
of the Fortune 500
industrial companies.
“In most cases, the
goal of a nipped roller
system is to provide
uniform pressure across
the web, but diameter
variations, hardness
variations,
misalignment,
deflection, web
thickness variations,
and uneven loading can
all lead to undesired
pressure distributions
and a variety of
defects,” stated Jeffrey
Stark, the president of
Sensor Products.
“Understanding the root
causes of these defects
and their common
remedies can quickly
improve profitability.”
The President of
Flexpoint, Clark Mower
stated, “We are excited
to be involved with
Sensor Products, Inc.
and look forward to a
long relationship with
them as we progress with
the development of the
nip sensor and other
products. Their desire
to act as a marketer and
distributor of Bend
Sensor® products is a
significant development
as well and is further
evidence that Flexpoint
has matured beyond a R&D
only company.”
