The Download on Digital Test & Measurement Instrumentation

Interface provides a wide range of Digital Instrumentation solutions that take load cell or strain bridge input and provide data output in a variety of protocol and bus formats. Our products include digital indicators, controllers, modules, transmitters, output, and data acquisition systems.

Why are more test and product engineers asking for digital instrumentation? Digital instrumentation improves efficiency, accuracy, and speed. Digital instrumentation, and more specifically, digital signals, provide an abundance of benefits. Digital signals are less susceptible to noise and more secure. The signals travel a long distance and allow multi-directional transmission simultaneously. Digital instrumentation can easily integrate with other devices and networks, communicating with protocols that are already being used at your location. 

Interface continues to add to its line of digital instrumentation. Here are some of our new and best selling digital force measurement products:

• 9320 Battery Powered Portable Load Cell Indicator (view)
• NEW 9870 High-Speed High-Performance TEDS Ready Indicator (view)
• BSC4D Multi-Channel Bridge Amplifier and PC Interface Module 4-Channel Capability (view)
• BX8 8-Channel Data Acquisition System and Amplifier (view)
• DIG-USB USB Output Module (view) and DIG-USB-F Fast USB Output Module (view)
• SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module (view)

We have also recently added a new line of weight transmitters and indicators with various protocols. To see all the digital instrumentation products available from Interface, download a copy of our brochure here or go online here. 

Deep Dive Into Multi-Axis Sensor Technology

How well can you trust that your testing data presents a complete view? Our team of experts addressed these questions to help engineers and product designers determine how multi-axis sensor technology helps to improve your testing results. Here are a few questions we addressed in the virtual event: Do potential side or eccentric loads alter test results? How accurate is your test model? Is there a benefit to enhance existing testing? Would more thorough testing provide a better solution? Watch the ForceLeaders Dimensions of Multi-Axis Sensors event here.

Ultra Load Button Load Cells Designs Address Off-Axis Loads And Temperature Sensitivity

In the past, load button load cells have been sensitive to off-axis, eccentric, or misaligned loads resulting in skewed or inaccurate data. Interface Ultra Load Button Load Cells provide premium accuracy and repeatability, even under eccentric angular loading. Size in the past precluded the use of internal temperature compensation. Our ultra-precision load buttons are engineered for temperature-sensitive applications to account for testing in certain environmental conditions. Read more here.

Interface Application Notes Highlight Different Types of Test Stands

There are a variety of test stand configurations used for force measurement testing. Interface provides load cells, instrumentation, and accessories used in the design and build of mechanical, hydraulic, and electro mechanical test stands. Whether using motorized or manual test stands, precision load cells will provide the most accurate and reliable data through repeatable results. Here are a few application notes to reference on how our load cell technology is used in various test stand configurations: Linear Test Stand, Verification Test Stand, and Motor Test Stand.
