Interface Solutions for Common Challenges of Metal Manufacturing
Interface provides high-accuracy force, torque, and weighing sensor solutions for metals manufacturers and equipment makers, specifically for production and processing, to manage metals that are inherently resistant to change. Transforming raw ore into a finished part requires immense energy, whether through high-pressure stamping, thermal molding, or high-speed cutting. Interface provides load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors for metal manufacturing applications.

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.

Understanding the Anatomy of Fatigue Failure
Interface fatigue-rated load cells are designed to meet the demands of fatigue testing. As load cells are structural devices stressed during their normal use, they are commonly given ultimate overload ratings to characterize the magnitude of static load they will withstand without failing structurally. Learn more about fatigue theory from Interface force measurement experts.

How Load Cells Are Transforming the Construction Industry
Interface force measurement solutions are used for all types of construction applications from bridge and high-rise building projects, to foundation load tests and structural monitoring. Our load cells and instrumentation are used in crane and heavy lifting operations, material testing and equipment calibration.

Considerations for Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminum Load Cells
In the world of force measurement and load cells, one size certainly does not fit all. There are thousands of different options for size and…
