What is the Technical Difference Between DUT and UUT?
Interface Tech Talk reviews the subtle differences when referencing a device under test (DUT) versus a unit under test (UUT). The distinction between DUT and UUT ultimately clarifies the test context, whether it is an isolated component under development or a finished unit undergoing final validation.

Interface Five-Phase Framework for Sensor Selection
Sensor selection with Interface’s 5-phase framework is a checklist for optimizing your measurement system. The Sensor Selection Guide takes you through a series of important considerations when selecting the right devices for your project requirements. Go through the phases of characterization, mechanical fit, interconnect, instrumentation, and calibration. Learn how to optimize load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors for accuracy and reliability in this sensor-first approach.

Raw Signals to Intelligent Force Sensing
Interface load cells, multi-axis sensors, and data acquisition systems are providing data for integrating artificial intelligence into force measurement systems. This represents a significant leap forward in precision, responsiveness, and reliability for these data use cases. The rise in use of strain gage outputs for AI is on the rise. The quality of the sensor is critical for these applications, and this is why Interface products are valuable for advanced analytics.

2025 Force Measurement Year in Review
Throughout 2025, Interface continues to see trends in digital transformation of the test lab, multi-axis sensors for advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning, new protocols, IO-Link load cells requirements, and adoption of new tools to use in high-production labs including our SimulatorECX and Load Cell Analyzer.

Mining Industry Transformation Turns to Precision Measurement Data
Interface load cells, torque transducers, multi-axis sensors, instrumentation, and wireless telemetry solutions advance mining predictability, production, and safety. By integrating real-time data from these sensors into critical equipment and infrastructure, the measurements support smart, data-driven mining operations. Interface products are used in heavy-equipment, cranes, extracting machines, vehicles, scales, conveyors, tunneling machines and tools used in mining.

Assembly Excellence in Manufacturing
Measurement sensor data provides manufacturers with a real-time understanding of assembly processes such as job batching, mating, fastening, sorting, and weighing for quality control and efficiency management. Interface load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors used in manufacturing assembly processes ensure the correct force, weight, and pressure are applied at every step of advanced production lines, whether by human or robotic deployment.

Interface Sensors Support Efficiency Gains in Recycling and Reuse
Interface sensors help drive efficiency gains in recycling and reuse operations. Our load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors provide the measurement data needed to optimize recycling in water, waste, energy, and remanufacturing.

Examining Round and Square Multi-Axis Sensors
Two common shapes for Interface multi-axis load cells are round and square. Square multi-axis load cells have a cuboid or block-like shape. This geometry often simplifies mounting and alignment. Round multi-axis load cells have a cylindrical or disc-like shape. This model design is a compact, low-profile form factor, which can be crucial in space-constrained applications. Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion load cells deliver high-accuracy measurements for advanced requirements of more data than a single-axis load cell.
