ARTIFICIAL FINGER (ArFi)
Advanced haptic measurement technology
The ArFi, or Artificial Finger, is a haptic measurement device designed to quantify vibrotactile and acoustic feedback. It uses an accelerometer and a load cell to measure surface vibrations and is powered by a motor-controlled graphical interface accessible via touchscreen or Wi-Fi. The device is ideal for tasks like prototyping, quality control, and analyzing haptic designs. It supports precise measurements with customizable software integration.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH AN ArFi
Active haptics become quantifiable
- • Precise measurements of haptics already possible in demo phases
- • Discussion based on data and not subjective perception
Recording of S-curves of mechanical switches possible
- • Characteristics of mechanical switches can be recorded and serve as inspiration
Integrated microphone for measuring acoustic feedback
- • Determination of relevant frequencies in the acoustic range
Acceleration measurements possible in x-, y- and z-axis
- • Vertical as well as horizontal excitation of the surface can be measured
- • Simultaneous measurement of all resulting vibrations
Own software for evaluating the measurements
- • Stand-alone device: Simply connect and go
- • Optional built-in display
