The Consumable Continuum Demands Measurement Technology
Interface is a supplier of measurement solutions for the consumable continuum, which represents the entire lifecycle of a product, from the arrival of raw bulk materials to the moment a consumer opens the package. In high-volume production environments, force, torque, and weight measurement accuracy is the primary factor in determining the difference between a profitable run and a costly recall.

Interface Load Cells for Press Machines
Interface load cells are used in various press machines, from hydraulic presses to stamping machines. Machine builders and engineers use interface load cells to improve product quality, reduce scrap, prevent overloading, and increase safety during operation. Whether selecting a miniature load button load cell for a small press test or our WMC Load Cell to integrate into the machine, Interface has a range of products for press machine applications to ensure quality and accuracy of measurement.

What is Moment Compensation?
Every Interface LowProfile™ load cell is moment compensated to minimize sensitivity to extraneous loads. Moment compensated load cells are designed to counteract the external forces or moments by using a configuration of strain gages and electronics that can detect and compensate for these forces. The strain gages are arranged in a way that allows the load cell to measure the force applied to it in multiple directions, and the electronics can then use this information to calculate the impact of external forces and moments on the measurement.
