Interface’s 6A-Series 6-axis load cell captures forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and torques (Mx, My, Mz) across six channels, while the BX8-AS BlueDAQ data acquisition system logs, graphs, and outputs all six measurements in real time creating a complete, high-resolution multi-axis measurement solution.
Applications:
Force: 11.2 to 22.5K lbf
Torque: 8.85 to 88.5K lb-in
Force: 50 to 100K N
Torque: 1 to 10K Nm
Interface’s 6-axis load cell measures forces simultaneously in three mutually perpendicular axes and three simultaneous torques about those same axes. Six full bridges provide mV/V output on six independent channels.
Interface’s 6-axis load cell is ideally suited to many industrial and scientific applications, such as aerospace, robotics, automotive and medical research (orthopedics and biomechanical).
A 36-term coefficient matrix is included for calculating the load and torque values in each axis.
An 8-channel amplifier with USB PC interface is also available which simplifies data analysis.
Models 6A27, 6A40, 6A68, 6A80, 6A110, 6A130, 6A150, 6A154, and 6A175 are available.
Model BX8-AS BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with Industrial Enclosure is the newest addition to Interface’s family of measurement systems. Easy enough for the inexperienced user but powerful enough for the sophisticated test engineer, with the BX8 anyone can be up and measuring in minutes. Designed specifically for use with mV/V output sensors such as force, torque and pressure along with PT1000 thermocouples, and ±10V output sensors, the BX8 puts graphing, logging and display capabilities at a user’s fingertips. The BX8 also includes 1/4 and 1/2 bridge completion for seamless integration of strain gage measurements. Eight independent, user configurable, 16-bit scalable analog outputs can be connected to external devices.
The BX8 is ideally suited for use with 6-axis sensors requiring axis load calculations. The sensor coefficient matrix can be loaded internally into the BX8 via software interface and the outputs are actively scaled according to the calculations. All channels are sampled simultaneously and fully synchronized. When purchased with a 6-axis sensor, the system will arrive pre-configured and ready to use.

The BlueDAQ software is suitable for live viewing, recording, and analysis of stored measuring data. The multiple channels can be recorded over the time axis (y-t diagram) or via an “X-axis” (X-Y diagram). The BlueDAQ software is available for models BSC1, BSC2, BSC4D, BX6, BX8, and the 9330. The measuring data is stored in binary “TDMS” by recording and can be opened, displayed, and exported in text or Excel format with the integrated “File Monitor”.
Interface strongly recommends requesting a system-level calibration when purchasing a force measurement sensor with instrumentation. This final step ensures the sensor and instrumentation are properly calibrated and functioning together before leaving Interface.
