Simple Mounting Error Detection Technique for Pressure Conductive Rubber Based Slip Sensor

Pressure conductive rubber has become a subject of interest in the field of slip or pressure sensor development because of it’s high sensitivity, flexibility and light weightiness. It is also been used where soft and flexible solder less connector is required. But this flexibility also creates some difficulties for making contacts with electrodes. Generally conducting glue or lamination or electrical wire stitch technique is used to attach electrodes with pressure conductive rubber. But it can’t be said whether rubber is properly attached with electrodes or not. This may cause erroneous result while measuring resistance of pressure conductive rubber. In this paper a simple mounting error detection technique has been explored.
