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.

Why is Metrology Fundamental to Test and Measurement?
Metrology, the science of measurement, is the foundational pillar of the test and measurement industry. Metrology is critical for quality control, regulatory compliance, and the development of new products and processes across a wide range of industries. Interface LowProfile Load Cells and Gold Standard Calibration Solutions are standards of measurement excellence required in metrology.

Interface Sensors Support Efficiency Gains in Recycling and Reuse
Interface sensors help drive efficiency gains in recycling and reuse operations. Our load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors provide the measurement data needed to optimize recycling in water, waste, energy, and remanufacturing.

Using Instrumentation to Set Alarms for Force and Torque Measurements
Interface load cells and transducers are often paired with instrumentation devices that include alarm features to create a system that can monitor data from the sensors and trigger alerts when specific conditions are met. Instrumentation alarms are crucial for safety, process control, equipment protection, and quality assurance in various industrial and laboratory settings.

IO-Link Load Cells 101
Interface 1200 and Model 1201 Series IO-Link Universal and Compression-Only Load Cells are IO-Link compatible load cells that offer precision force measurements with the benefits of digital communication. They connect directly to an IO-Link Master without requiring any additional electronics. This not only simplifies installation but also ensures a clean, noise-free digital signal. The digital point-to-point connection of IO-Link offers a manufacturer-independent, fieldbus-independent communication technology. IO-Link allows intelligent connection of sensors and actuators to automation systems. The comprehensive, standardized communication with each IO-Link capable sensor enables additional sensor data, transmission of measurement and switching signals without losses, and numerous independent diagnostic functions.
