How Precision Sensors are Driving the Robotic Revolution
Interface measurement sensor technologies provide crucial data that enables robots to function correctly in various environments. Load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors act as the sense of touch, quality controller, articulation master, and fail-safe robot monitors in robotics. From industrial arms to mobile autonomous robots, Interface sensors are fundamental in design, test, and performance monitoring.

The Force Behind the Future of Humanoid Robotics
Interface provides force measurement sensors and instrumentation for humanoid robot design, testing, and performance monitoring. Humanoid testing of the human-like movements, balance, manipulation, and interactions require accurate force measurement using load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors. Interface is dedicated to providing high-quality sensor solutions for all types of robotics.

Examining Machine Builder Applications
Interface sensor technologies are used in machines that weigh raw materials, test component designs, and build finished products. Machine builders use Interface load cells for tooling, assembly, press operations, automated guides, and cobot applications. Machine builders turn to Interface force measurement solutions that support Industry 4.0 innovations that enable efficiency and machine advancements.

Center of Gravity Testing in Robotics Demands Precision Load Cells
Interface specializes in precision force measurement solutions. There are different methods for determining the CoG of a robotic system. One common method is to use strain gage load cells. Not all load cells are designed for precision measurement. Center of gravity testing demands strict measurement. For example, Interface compression load cells are often used in center of gravity testing for robotics because they are very accurate and can measure remarkably small forces.

Types of Robots Using Interface Sensors
Interface load cells and torque transducers are commonly used in the design and testing of robots to measure and monitor forces and loads experienced by various robot components. Load cells are used to measure the forces exerted by robotic arms and grippers, while torque transducers are used to measure the torque generated by motors. Multi-axis load cells are growing in use with robotic engineers throughout the R&D phases for more measurement data to make smarter decisions in design and use of the robot.

Collaborative Robots Using Interface Sensors
Cobots are typically equipped with sensors technologies that allow them to detect the presence of humans and react accordingly. Force measurement sensors are often used in collaborative robots to provide feedback on the force being applied during a task. There are several types of force measurement sensors that can be used in cobots, including load cells, torque transducers, miniature load cell load buttons and multi-axis sensors.
