Touchscreen Haptic Force Sensor
Load Cell for Touch Screen Sensor Technology
With the widespread use of smartphones and smartwatches and the rapid development of display technology, the quality of smartphone LCD screens has become a key concern for consumers. The manufacturing process of LCD screens is complex and precise, making them prone to various defects such as bright spots, dark spots, color deviations, and light leakage. These defects severely impact product display quality.
Therefore, developing high-precision force sensors for automated testing systems is crucial for improving product quality, reducing costs, and enhancing manufacturing processes. Traditional automated testing does not monitor force values, which may lead to damage to the LCD screens or inadequate detection. Utilizing force sensors to monitor testing force values provides a standardized testing approach, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of detection across the industry.
Challenge
- How to achieve fast and accurate detection on high-speed production lines.
- How to ensure high-precision detection.
- How to adapt to different sizes and models of LCD screens, ensuring compatibility and versatility.
- How to minimize the product’s size to reduce the overall equipment size and production costs.
- How to ensure the flatness and leveling of the sensor to avoid uneven forces on the LCD screen during testing.
- How to ensure data stability of the sensor during dynamic testing.
Solution
- Sensors are made of high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel to ensure stiffness, allowing for a high dynamic response frequency.
- Finite element analysis is used for sensor structural design, calculations, and simulations of actual operating conditions for dynamic analysis and optimization of the sensor structure.
- Interchangeable interface designs enable customers to replace tooling of appropriate size specifications based on the LCD screen size.
- Multi-axis CNC machining is used for one-time processing, ensuring consistency in geometric tolerances.
- Dynamic strain gauges and flexible wires are applied, allowing the sensor to operate stably in dynamic equipment environments.
- A flat design reduces the product’s size while maintaining accuracy.

Wind Turbine Blade Weighing
ANYLOAD applied industry-leading tension link technology to develop a critical system for ensuring consistency in wind turbine blade manufacturing. Wind turbine blades must be precisely balanced in weight and centre of gravity to minimize weight imbalances that can significantly shorten the expected service lifespan of wind turbines. Imbalanced blades can exert uneven forces on the rotor hub, leading to misalignment and material fatigue failures in the gear box and other turbine components.

Ancient Canoe Weighing
With the continuous advancement of archaeology, the excavation, restoration, and preservation of ancient artifacts have become increasingly important, especially in underwater archaeology and the excavation of ancient boats. A 5,000-year-old canoe was discovered in the Liangzhu Cultural Village, a significant cultural heritage with immense historical and archaeological value. However, its excavation, preservation, and restoration present multiple risks and challenges.

Aerospace-Grade Load Cells for Wing Fatigue Testing
Aircraft wings serve as major load-bearing structures. Their fatigue life, structural integrity, and safety margin directly determine the long‑term safety and service life of the aircraft. During wing fatigue testing and certification, accurate force measurement is essential.
