High-Fidelity 101
Interface 101 series details high-fidelity (Hi-Fi), a term referencing how accurately a measurement system reproduces the characteristics of a physical input. Load cell users may require a high-fidelity system where the digital output precisely reflects the mechanical force applied to the sensor. This integrity must be maintained throughout the entire signal chain, from the physical deformation of the strain gage to the final data output. Hi-Fi is very important in aerospace, additive manufacturing, and product efficiency such as lightweighting.

Force Measurement is Shaping Additive Manufacturing
Interface force measurement solutions provide valuable data and insights throughout the additive manufacturing workflow. This data is vital to driving innovation in material development and part design, automating processes for efficiency, and ensuring consistent, high-quality production. Interface load cells and multi-axis sensor technologies are used for various research, testing, prototyping, and production applications in additive manufacturing.

Tension Load Cells 101
Interface tension load cell are a type of force sensor used to measure tensile forces in materials, structures, or machines. They are used to measure the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being pulled or stretched under the applied load. With our proprietary strain gages manufactured inside the load cell sensor, it measures the deformation and converts it into an electrical signal.
