How Sensor Technologies Advance Oil and Gas Robotics and Automation
Interface sensor technologies for oil and gas robotics test mobility, assess mechanical performance, and confirm the structural integrity of inspection tools. Robotics and automation in the oil and gas sector use load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors for infrastructure, production, maintenance, security, monitoring, and safety.

Load Cell Test Stands 101
Interface provides high-accuracy load cells, instrumentation and DAQ systems, software and accessories designed for use in various types of test stands. Load cell test stands are important devices for manufacturers and testing engineers who need to measure the force or torque applied to a object, test specimen, or product. They are typically made up of a frame, one or more load cells, software, and data acquisition instrumentation.

What are IO-Link Load Cells
IO-Link can be used with load cells in industrial applications to enable enhanced monitoring, control, and diagnostics. Interface now offers customization of our most popular load cells with IO-Link capabilities. IO-Link is designed to connect and communicate between sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices with a higher-level control system. It operates over a standard three-wire connection, typically using unshielded industrial cables, and supports point-to-point communication.

Interface Supports Wind Tunnel Testing
Interface is a supplier of measurement solutions used for aircraft and wind tunnel testing. Wind tunnel systems are used to gather data across a variety of tests related to the aerodynamics of a vehicle’s design. Whether an object is stationary or mobile, wind tunnels provide insight into the effects of air as it moves over or around the test model. Beyond airplanes and flying vehicles, wind tunnels are also used for testing automobiles, bicycles, drones and rockets.

Innovative Interface Lifting Solutions
Interface lifting solutions are utilized to accurately measure the weight or force being exerted on the lifting equipment. Our lload cells, load pins, tension links, wireless technologies are integrated into cranes, hoists, and lifting devices to provide precise load measurements. Interface lifting solutions apply to equipment and machines used at construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, transportation locations, healthcare facilities, and maritime docks. Lifting applications can vary, such as loading and unloading goods, positioning heavy equipment or machinery, transferring patients in healthcare settings, or lifting materials for construction purposes.
