- Analyzes hand movements-particularly, strokes-performed by artisans and professionals when judging a fabric’s texture.

- Obtainable data includes average frictional coefficient, and fluctuation of average frictional coefficient. From these characteristic values, the KES-SE evaluates and quantifies smoothness, slipperiness, and roughness felt when actually touching the target in order to provide objective data.

The sensor unit’s design features a load and surface treatment that mimics a fingertip, allowing for quantification similar to that of the human fingertip.
