Prosthetic Adv

Adopting Sensor Technology for Prosthetic Advancements

Interface load cells and multi-axis sensors are utilized in the development, design, and testing of modern prosthetics, resulting in a more natural and intuitive user experience. By accurately measuring weight, forces, and torque, these sensors provide essential real-time feedback to help in design, customization, durability testing, material tests and analysis. Miniature load cells in a prosthetic hand design test can detect the amount of force being applied, preventing objects from slipping or being crushed. Prosthetic limbs must be tested for extreme loading that can occur during falls, accidents, and sports movements.
Humanoid

The Force Behind the Future of Humanoid Robotics

Interface provides force measurement sensors and instrumentation for humanoid robot design, testing, and performance monitoring. Humanoid testing of the human-like movements, balance, manipulation, and interactions require accurate force measurement using load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors. Interface is dedicated to providing high-quality sensor solutions for all types of robotics.
Hydrofoil Technology Force Measurement

Hydrofoil Technology and Tank Testing with Force Measurement

Interface force measurement solutions are used in hydrofoil tank testing for developing and refining these wing-like structures. Tank testing provides invaluable data for enhancing hydrofoil performance by simulating real-world conditions in a controlled environment. Accurately measuring forces, torques, and weight enables engineers to optimize performance, ensure stability, and validate computational models, ultimately developing safer, more efficient, and higher-performing hydrofoil-equipped vessels.
System Errors

Interpretation of Force Measurement System Errors

Interface clarifies error source terms. Understanding the potential sources of error is crucial to accurate force measurement. Often, terms like resolution, repeatability, and reproducibility are used interchangeably, leading to confusion. It's important to remember that these are system parameters.
Center Of Gravity 2

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.
WIND TUNNEL TESTING 1

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.
