PD-FS — 4096-point sensing film
A piezoresistive film with a 64 × 64 sensing matrix on a 490 × 520 mm sheet. Each sheet is an independent measuring unit; multiple sheets tile to cover larger surfaces while remaining individually replaceable.
Standard cable length is 300 mm and can be extended to 500 mm to suit the fixture. The 490 × 1040 mm version carries the same 4096-point matrix over a 487 × 1034 mm active area, so its pitch along the long axis is coarser than 7.6 × 8.1 mm.
- —0.3 mm, conforms to curved surfaces
- —4096 points per sheet, tiled to any area
- —Individual sheets replaceable without rebuilding the panel
- —Range, size and seam layout customizable

Parts it is specified with
Film, collectors and software are quoted as one chain — the sheet count follows the surface size.

Real projects, without the names
Configuration, method and finding are published as delivered. Client identity stays with the customer — that is the only way these records get approved at all.
20,480 points across a 2.5 m² blade panel
Five long sheets and ten compact collectors merged into one continuous map over 1040 × 2480 mm, then compared against the aerodynamic model.
Bond-line pressure during spar cap bonding
Adhesive pressure mapped along the bond line before cure, replacing a trial-and-error shim routine.
Press platen uniformity before a curing change
40,960 points across ten sheets measured platen flatness under load, so the process change was decided on data rather than a sample.

Bonding a sensing film to a blade surface: what actually fails
Most measurement errors on a blade do not come from the sensor — they come from the bond. Here a
Choosing a flexible sensing film: range, array density and encapsulation
Three parameters constrain each other. Range headroom, array density and encapsulation are usual
