September 2021 Newsletter

If you haven’t had a minute to explore Interface’s refreshed website, we thought it might be a good time to give you a few directional pointers.  The purpose of this update is to take what we have learned from our customers and visitors over the past few years to see what we could do to enhance your experience.

The first thing you’ll see on the new site is a new homepage.  We have spotlighted features on new products, new industry applications, product releases, top selling products and ways to navigate the products by categories.

Under the solutions page, you can find a vast number of application notes, industry-specific solution pages, case studies and white papers, including the latest OEM Solutions: Turning an Active Component into a Sensor by Brian Peters and Robert Fuge. Head over to the custom page and you learn more about working with our expert engineers to design unique products that fit your exact test and measurement requirements.

The Interface products page categorizes all we have to offer, where you can drill down into product groups such as Load Cells, Torque Transducers, Minis, Instrumentation and more. Under each section, you’ll find individual products with all capacities and configuration options. When you register, you have complete access to pricing, specification datasheets, design files, technical documentation and more for each model group.

TESTING AND USING ROBOTICS TO ADVANCE MANUFACTURING

In a factory, there are many tasks classified as simple or mundane, while others are more intricate requiring precision application. In advanced manufacturing, the use of robotics is growing more dependent on sensor technologies and precision measurement for effective functionality and improved productivity.

Interface products play a significant part in Industry 4.0 manufacturing automation. It is especially true in the engineering and testing of robotics that rely on accurate real-time data to measure force and pressure in monitoring performance.

We supply a wide variety of sensors that measure force, torque, pressure, pulling force and more. We also are well-known worldwide for the accuracy and reliability of our products, making us the perfect fit for high-precision robotics applications. Learn more here.

SUPPLYING TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS

The safety, durability, and dependability of every facet of the transportation industry are all important considerations when engineering and building anything that moves a person or object. Of course, human safety being the most critical requirement of any transport vehicle or structure.

This requires stringent testing to validate the design of each component and overall system. Force measurement technologies are commonly used in all types of transportation testing. From testing torque of an electrical vehicle engine with AxialTQ to measuring weight distribution of an aircraft, these applications help to refine the designs of parts, vessels, and
vehicles, while confirming safety and reliability.

Whether weighing ship cargo with Interface load pins, load shackles and tension links or using our torque transducers for engine testing on e-bikes, automobiles, trucks, buses, and other transport vehicles, if it moves it needs to be measured. Our force and torque solutions are ideal for every segment of that make up the complex and dynamic transportation sector. Read more here.

WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?

LATEST SPIN ON AXIALTQ – If you could not attend our live ForceLeaders event that detailed the AxialTQ torque transducer, we recorded it for you. Learn from Jay Bradley and Keith Skidmore the features, use cases and why engineers prefer this next generation torque transducer for anything that spins. Watch here.

LET’S CONNECT IN PERSON – We are headed out to two important tradeshows in October. We will be exhibiting at Space Tech Expo October 6-8 and at Auto Test Expo October 26-28. For event details, go here.

MULTI-AXIS MARKET RESEARCH – Interface commissioned an independent research report on multi-axis sensors demand and use cases.  Read our summary here.
