Handheld Accessibility to Accurate Measurement Data
Interface handheld indicators, multi-channel Bluetooth data loggers, and wireless telemetry receivers pair directly with Interface’s load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors for easy access to measurement data. Interface Complete Systems offer sensors paired with portable, handheld indicators and accessories, fully calibrated together for traceable field accuracy.

Mastering The Signal Chain in Test and Measurement
In test and measurement, Interface defines the signal chain as the interconnected hardware and software continuum that converts a physical event into validated engineering units. It encompasses the raw strain gage bridge from a load cell, regulated excitation sources, local analog conditioning, filtering, high-resolution digitization, network transmission, and the final analytical software interface. Learn engineering tips, application highlights, and why modern test and measurement requires planning for the entire signal chain to preserve data integrity.

High-Fidelity 101
Interface 101 series details high-fidelity (Hi-Fi), a term referencing how accurately a measurement system reproduces the characteristics of a physical input. Load cell users may require a high-fidelity system where the digital output precisely reflects the mechanical force applied to the sensor. This integrity must be maintained throughout the entire signal chain, from the physical deformation of the strain gage to the final data output. Hi-Fi is very important in aerospace, additive manufacturing, and product efficiency such as lightweighting.

Interface New Products Releases in Winter 2025
Interface's new product releases include calibration and lab testing tools, a new multi-axis sensor, new instrumentation, and additions to Interface Complete Systems. Test and measurement is moving toward high-velocity data, advanced analytics, digital protocols, and continuous feedback to support automation, robotics, miniaturized product designs, and innovation in the test lab. These new products support these trends.

2025 Force Measurement Year in Review
Throughout 2025, Interface continues to see trends in digital transformation of the test lab, multi-axis sensors for advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning, new protocols, IO-Link load cells requirements, and adoption of new tools to use in high-production labs including our SimulatorECX and Load Cell Analyzer.

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.

Beyond the Obvious Forces of Product Testing
True precision in testing requires developing a mindset that embraces failure, diagnoses invisible errors, and knows that the best results come from understanding that every component, connection, and procedure is part of a complex system that demands relentless attention. Interface provides high-accuracy test and measurement products, including load cells, for testing labs.
