Ports turn to Interface for accurate load cells, load pins, shackles, tensions links, submersible solutions and wireless instrumentation.

What is Proof Testing and Why Does it Matter?
Interface load cells and data acquisition systems are used for proof testing, which determines the strength and integrity of a test subject by applying a controlled, measured load to it. What is proof testing? Learn the steps of proof testing for stress, fatigue, and materials. It is frequently used by industries such as construction, natural resources, infrastructure, heavy machinery, and manufacturing to verify the strong point and durability of objects and structures.

Enhancing Structural Testing with Multi-Axis Load Cells
Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, and 6-axis load cells are all excellent options for structural testing. Multi-axis load cells are essential tools for structural testing, providing valuable insights into the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. These multi-axis sensors measure forces in multiple directions, enabling engineers to identify potential weaknesses, assess structural integrity, and optimize designs.
