The Mechanics of Suspended Loads in Heavy Rigging
Interface products provide real-time measurements of cable tension and load weight to prevent dangerous overloads of rigging equipment. Rigging converts rotational, linear, or gravitational forces into controlled mechanical displacement. It relies on calculating vector forces, tension distribution, centers of gravity, and safe working load (SWL) limits to ensure that heavy components remain structurally stable and balanced throughout dynamic motion.

Engineering Thrills Using Sensor Technologies for Theme Parks and Venues
Interface provides entertainment venues, thrill ride engineers, and theme park attraction manufacturers with measurement solutions for complex mechanical systems, enabling them to create immersive guest experiences while meeting strict safety requirements. From roller coasters and motion platforms to automated stages and animatronic characters, engineers depend on precise force, torque, and weight measurements to ensure attractions operate safely and reliably.

Engineering Force Intelligence in Heavy Machinery
Interface load cells and torque transducers provide force intelligence to modernize heavy machinery and enable autonomous control, predictive maintenance, and high-fidelity testing for equipment OEMs. Heavy machinery for construction, mining, and agricultural need force intelligence. Interface’s sensors enable the transformation of standard mechanical joints into smart components that provide the data-driven insights necessary for modern high-production operations.

Sensors Provide Intelligence for Safe and Automated Hoisting
Integrating Interface load cells, load pins, tension load links, and load shackles into hoisting equipment provides real-time force and weight data.
