The Future of Force Measurement

As the demands for test and measurement continue to evolve, so does the technology needed to support it. The future of force is here. Requirements for supporting more data, embedding precision sensors into innovative products, and utilizing wireless and digital for the IoT and industrial automation markets are happening now. This requires advancements in products and capabilities, a commitment that Interface has long-held as the leader in force measurement.

As design houses, machine builders, engineers, testing labs, and manufacturers are expressing new requirements for load cells, torque transducers, and specialized custom products, we continue to look ahead to see what is next. In this new Metrology News article, Ted Larson highlights some of these trends and how Interface is
focusing on new product development and advancements.  

How can new force measurement technologies improve your project outcomes or enhance your product? Here are some quick tips from our experts:

• In evaluating your options, determine the type of data collection you need. What are the benefits of fast versus high-resolution?
• How can wireless data transmission, connected devices, multi-axis sensors, and advanced instrumentation improve testing efficiencies and project outcomes?
• Have you planned for everything you need for your force measurement system integration?
