Rigging

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.
Digital Twins

Digital Twins Bridge Physical Stresses and Virtual Models in Test and Measurement

Interface sensor technologies are used in digital twins for structural testing, fatigue monitoring, and model validation. A digital twin uses force or torque inputs of load, torque, and weight to bind virtual simulations to actual mechanical behavior. By integrating Interface load cells, torque transducers, wireless telemetry systems, and digital instrumentation into your digital twin framework, you eliminate simulation drift and ground your virtual assets in real physical evidence.
