Measurement Sensors Optimize Underground Tunneling and Boring
Interface sensor technologies are critical to tunnel boring operations. Interface load cells can be strategically embedded within tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and accurately measure the forces exerted during excavation. Torque transducers can measure reaction or rotational forces on equipment components to ensure tools and machines operate properly. Using measurement sensors, machines can monitor parameters like torque, thrust, force, and weight to provide real-time feedback to operators.

Center of Gravity Testing in Robotics Demands Precision Load Cells
Interface specializes in precision force measurement solutions. There are different methods for determining the CoG of a robotic system. One common method is to use strain gage load cells. Not all load cells are designed for precision measurement. Center of gravity testing demands strict measurement. For example, Interface compression load cells are often used in center of gravity testing for robotics because they are very accurate and can measure remarkably small forces.

Types of Robots Using Interface Sensors
Interface load cells and torque transducers are commonly used in the design and testing of robots to measure and monitor forces and loads experienced by various robot components. Load cells are used to measure the forces exerted by robotic arms and grippers, while torque transducers are used to measure the torque generated by motors. Multi-axis load cells are growing in use with robotic engineers throughout the R&D phases for more measurement data to make smarter decisions in design and use of the robot.

Interface Supports Wind Tunnel Testing
Interface is a supplier of measurement solutions used for aircraft and wind tunnel testing. Wind tunnel systems are used to gather data across a variety of tests related to the aerodynamics of a vehicle’s design. Whether an object is stationary or mobile, wind tunnels provide insight into the effects of air as it moves over or around the test model. Beyond airplanes and flying vehicles, wind tunnels are also used for testing automobiles, bicycles, drones and rockets.

Advancing Lithium-Ion Battery Test and Measurement
Interface supplies load cells, instrumentation, and multi-axis sensors for testing and performance monitoring of lithium-ion batteries. To achieve the goal of improved and longer-lasting Li-ion batteries, accurate force measurement testing is needed to confirm performance, capacity, safety and fatigue. Force testing is done on the battery itself and is used for various stages within the R&D and manufacturing processes.
