Advancing Composites Using Force and Torque Measurement

September 10, 2026
Interface load cells provide the measurement accuracy and structural stiffness data needed to evaluate composite materials. The composites industry must balance lightweight design with strict performance and reliability standards. Accurate, repeatable measurements establish reliable material baselines, support process control, reduce unexpected failures, and help manufacturers produce composite structures that perform consistently under demanding conditions.

Impact Testing for Millisecond Assessments

June 11, 2026
Interface impact testing force measurement solutions are used in material, component, and product tests, from sports equipment to autos and aircraft. High-velocity impact testing demands high-velocity sensors and low-latency instrumentation to capture millisecond-long force spikes without data gaps or signal clipping. Pairing the load cell and instrument is critical for a successful impact testing system.
