A biometric sensor is a device that can track biometric data given off by the body. Much like an electrode, a biometric sensor can send or receive electrical signals when it comes into contact with the skin.
Butler Technologies produces slim and stretchable biometric sensors and circuits that can move with the body using innovative screen printing technology and cutting-edge conductive inks. With a thin, flexible profile similar to other screen-printed graphics, biometric sensors can be nearly invisible to the end user while still providing the same quality of data as a traditional wire sensor.
These printed biometric sensors can send as well as receive electrical signals and can handle the necessary loads to provide electrical stimulation to muscles and nerves. Whether you want to target muscle recovery through EMS or relieve nerve pain through TENS, our printed electrodes can keep up.
Coverlay: TPU or printed encapsulate. Reliefs for electrodes and terminations.
Carbon Overprint: An added layer of wear resistance. Optional for some constructions.
Electrode: The electrode can be made using silver, silver chloride, carbon, or a proprietary ink blend.
Conductor: The conductor is made using silver or carbon traces.
Carbon Underprint: Added to reduce moisture transfer through TPU. Optional for some constructions.
Base Film: Typically a flexible and stretchable TPU film with hot-melt adhesive.
Fabric: The fabric layer is optional. Adding a fabric layer is ideal for non- permanent applications.
