Material Testing 1

Force Measurement is Fundamental in Material Testing

Interface load cells, multi-axis sensors, and data acquisition systems are used for material testing. Common uses of force measurement in material tests include applications to measure hardness, torsion, strength, compression, bending, shear, impact, creep, fatigue, and nondestructive capabilities. It is common to have our 1200 LowProfile load cells installed into material testing machines at test labs and onsite. We also supply a variety of miniature load cells and load pins for material testing, depending on the type of equipment and environment used for tests.

INTERFACE TECH TALK Vacuum

Are Load Cells Used in Vacuum Environments?

Interface provides load cells thare can be used in a vacuum environment. However, not all load cells are created equal or suited for this specialized use case. Vacuum testing labs are used by a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, and defense. These labs are common for material process testing and used in R&D. Vacuum testing helps to identify potential problems with products and materials before they are used in a vacuum environment. Using quality load cells that are manufactured by force measurement experts in sensor technologies and experienced in working with vacuum testing labs and experts is an important consideration.
INTERFACE 101 SERIES CALIBRATION CURVE

Calibration Curve 101

Interface Calibration Curve 101 defines why the calibration curve is essential for ensuring the accuracy of force measurements. The calibration curve allows for the determination of the load cell's sensitivity, linearity, and any potential adjustments or corrections needed to improve its accuracy. For traceability, serves as a reference to convert the load cell's output signal into meaningful and calibrated measurements when the load cell is used for force or weight measurement applications. Interface recommends all load cells be calibrated annually, at a minimum.
Multi Axis Future

A Promising Future in Measurement and Analysis Using Multi-Axis Sensors

Interface multi-axis load cells provide a multitude of benefits. The top reason to use multi-axis sensors is to get more measurement data. Interface 2, 3 or 6-Axis load cells enable engineers, prooduct designers and test professionals to capture forces along multiple directions simultaneously. This capability is particularly beneficial when dealing with complex and multidirectional forces, which are common in robotics, space projects, virtual reality, motion tracking, navigation systems, and inventive consumer products.
