Controlling Crosstalk in Multi-Axis Force Measurement Systems
Interface details the mechanical considerations and best practices for managing crosstalk. Using multi-axis sensors, crosstalk occurs when a load applied strictly to one axis produces a parasitic signal in another. For Interface instrumentation and sensor systems, managing this requires minimizing mechanical coupling at the flexure and applying mathematical compensation through precision electronics.

Load Cell Flexures 101
Interface designs all of our load cell flexures. A flexure is a specially designed component that can bend under a load without breaking. They are used in sensors where precise, frictionless movement is needed, like measuring force. The flexure, a complex machined part, acts as the spring element. With thousands of models, capacities, and configurations, manufacturing our flexures is paramount to our load cell accuracy, quality, and precision performance.

Force Measurement is Shaping Additive Manufacturing
Interface force measurement solutions provide valuable data and insights throughout the additive manufacturing workflow. This data is vital to driving innovation in material development and part design, automating processes for efficiency, and ensuring consistent, high-quality production. Interface load cells and multi-axis sensor technologies are used for various research, testing, prototyping, and production applications in additive manufacturing.
