INTERFACE PORTABLE INSTRUMENTATION DEVICES
 

Portable devices can be easily transported and set up in various locations. We provide battery-powered devices, Bluetooth, and wireless transmitters as part of our Wireless Telemetry System product line. Portable instruments allow measurements to be taken on-site, eliminating the need for a single testing location.

TIP: Use Interface’s Instrumentation Selection Guide to find the best solution for your requirements.
 

WHY DO LABS PREFER INTERFACE PRODUCTS?

Labs require a wide range of test and measurement capabilities. Our latest case study, Ensuring Certainty in Testing Labs with Precision Force Measurement, features relevant examples for today’s testing labs. It highlights current challenges and trending Interface solutions. 

Test labs may test delicate medical devices or robust structures that withstand immense forces. Interface offers diverse force measurement solutions to meet these varied needs. Regardless of the application, accuracy in performance and output is paramount. This is true for labs, whether they are testing innovative consumer products, measuring the strength of components used in large-scale manufacturing, or providing local calibration lab services. Find a quick recap and download the case study at Interface Case Study Highlights Testing Labs Requirements for Certainty. Also, read more in our Interface and Testing Lab Applications.
 

INTERFACE SENSORS FOR IMPROVING WORKER SAFETY

Automation is a critical factor in the industrial sector, with the growing use of robotics, cobots, IoT, and other sensing technologies to improve efficiency. Production benefits greatly from automation, and worker safety and equipment monitoring are greatly enhanced. Sensor-enabled equipment and systems are pervasive in manufacturing, whether part of cobots working on the production line as detailed in our Cobot Safety Programming Application or used to automate weighing inventory. Accurate measurement is quintessential to workplace safety and automation.

Interface load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors help automate monitoring systems in industrial machines. Automation functions enabled by sensors can notify operators and engineers before any disruption to production. They also help dramatically improve safety through sensor-based functions that avoid malfunctions and put workers in danger. Read: Force Sensors Automate Safety Systems In Industrial Facilities
 

ENGINEERING CHANGE IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The circular economy defines how resources are recycled from waste into products. These resources are redesigned, reused, and remanufactured for economic benefit. This model aims to minimize waste while continuing to create a sustainable environment.
 
Interface load cells contribute to a more sustainable future by providing critical data and measurement accuracy to improve sorting efficiency, optimize disassembly processes, and reduce reliance on clean materials. Interface’s load cells assist in precisely measuring forces and loads during product disassembly, refurbishment, and remanufacturing. Integrating force sensors into ways to help reduce resource consumption helps create and promote a more sustainable environment. Read Force Makes the Circular Economy Go Around
