University of Waterloo Capstone Tackles Physical Strain in Medical Imaging
Interface case study highlights the LARS project by the Capstone Symposium Team at the University of Waterloo. The Load Assistance for Reduced-Strain Sonography medical solution is a semi-robotic articulated arm engineered to aid with probe force application while keeping the sonographer fully in control of the procedure. The medical system, using an Interface load cell, integrates directly into existing clinical workflows and provides assistive support without disrupting the established scanning methods of the medical professional.

Technical Advantages and Best Practices for Shunt Calibration
Interface answers why shunt calibration matters for load cell system verification and provides engineering best practices. Incorporating shunt calibration into your testing and measurement program has key advantages, including rapid system verification, reduced downtime, minimal equipment requirements, repeatable results, and flexibility in integration within measurement systems.

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.
