Flexpoint Sensor Sytems
Unlike its major competitors, the Bend Sensor is self-contained and requires no mechanical components. This eliminates the noise normally associated with mechanical swiping and rubbing allowing for greater accuracy than with traditional rotary and linear pots. Furthermore, the Bend Sensor is not prone to degradation through mechanical contact, so it has a longer life than many competing sensors. The longer life of components means fewer system breakdowns due to mechanical failure, so it is more reliable and less expensive to system operations.
