Load Cell Test Stands 101
Interface provides high-accuracy load cells, instrumentation and DAQ systems, software and accessories designed for use in various types of test stands. Load cell test stands are important devices for manufacturers and testing engineers who need to measure the force or torque applied to a object, test specimen, or product. They are typically made up of a frame, one or more load cells, software, and data acquisition instrumentation.

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.

Force Measurement Enables Precision Drone Aerial Displays
Interface force measurement solutions are used in designing and evaluating areial displays drones for launch, precision movements, lighting effects and descent. Interface products are used by drone manufacturers to design these flying machines to conduct different tasks. Interface sensors are used in testing motor torque and evaluating center of balance.

Rigging Engineers Choose Interface Measurement Solutions
Interface supports rigging engineers who design, plan, and oversee the rigging of heavy loads by providing high accuracy measurement solutions. The use of load cells to measure the weight of heavy loads, such as cranes, ships, rockets, theater equipment and machinery is on the rise. Rigging engineers use the data from load cells, load pins, load shackles, and tension links to ensure that the loads are not overloaded and that the rigging systems are properly designed for each use case. This often requires pairing the high accuracy sensor with instrumentation, and for versatility wireless telemetry systems are useful for rigging engineers.

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.

Innovative Interface Lifting Solutions
Interface lifting solutions are utilized to accurately measure the weight or force being exerted on the lifting equipment. Our lload cells, load pins, tension links, wireless technologies are integrated into cranes, hoists, and lifting devices to provide precise load measurements. Interface lifting solutions apply to equipment and machines used at construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, transportation locations, healthcare facilities, and maritime docks. Lifting applications can vary, such as loading and unloading goods, positioning heavy equipment or machinery, transferring patients in healthcare settings, or lifting materials for construction purposes.

Hydraulic Press Machines and Load Cells
Load cells are commonly used in hydraulic presses to measure the force or weight of the load that is being applied to the press. Load cells are essentially transducers that convert a mechanical force into an electrical signal. Load cells play a critical role in ensuring the safety, quality, and efficiency of hydraulic press operations, as they allow operators to monitor and control the force being applied to the workpiece with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
