Interface 2-Axis Load cells accurately measure forces or torques in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, all from a single, integrated device. The bi-axial sensors include multiple, isolated strain gage bridges within a single sensor body. While a single-axis sensor uses one bridge to measure force along one axis, such as tension or compression, a 2-axis sensor employs additional bridges to produce separate, independent output signals for the orthogonal axes. The primary technical advantage of a 2-axis multi-axis design is the ability to acquire comprehensive, richer data about force interaction from a single measurement point.

Interface multi-axis sensors dramatically expand data accessibility in test and monitoring applications. The fastest line of products in Interface's extensive force, torque, and weight measurement solutions catalog includes Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion sensors. Multiple points of reference data from high-accuracy multi-axis sensors provide critical details for improving product efficiency, quality, and safety.

Multi-axis sensors provide several benefits for use in robotics, as they allow for accurately measuring the robot's position, orientation, and movement. Interface offers a wide variety of multi-axis sensor options including 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion load cell sensors. The benefits of using multi-axis sensors aligns to the advancements in robotics, as the expectations to do more means more data is needed to thoroughly test and measure every capability and interaction with accuracy.
