Interface load cells and instrumentation are used in different facilities and resource manufacturing processes within the circular economy. Our sensor technologies help to measure and monitor forces, loads, and weight within the tools, robotics, and machinery used to optimize resources. Our sensors are also commonly used to test new products for material strength, fatigue lifecycle, quality, and function.

Off-axis loading can affect the accuracy of load cell measurements, so it is important to take steps to protect against it. To minimize the effects of off-axis loading, load cells are often designed with measures to reduce sensitivity to forces applied in other directions. These may include mechanical features such as strain relief structures or specialized materials that are more resistant to off-axis loading. Additionally, load cells are often installed and used in ways that minimize the likelihood of off-axis loading, such as aligning the primary sensing axis with the direction of the applied force.

One of the most significant trends in advancing manufacturing is the use of robotics for smart factory automation. These types of machines are…
