Autonomous Navigation

Autonomous Navigation in High-Risk Environments Requires Accuracy in Sensing

Interface sensor technologies, including multi-axis, torque, and load cells, enable autonomous platforms to navigate subsea, industrial, and aerospace environments with precision. High-risk environments require sensors designed for hazardous, submersible, and extreme temperature conditions to ensure autonomous platforms perform reliably using accurate measurements.
THRUST STANDS

Thrust Stands in Aerospace Test and Measurement

Thrust stands are testing rigs built to measure propulsion output and efficiency of aerospace industry launches of rockets, aircraft, drones, and UAVs. Using Interface high-capacity load cells, the goal is to map the thrust curve and verify engine specifications against design requirements. Unlike the distributed loads encountered in structural testing, a thrust rig handles a concentrated axial force.
Wing Testing

Aircraft Wing Testing Requires Force Measurement Accuracy

Interface offers force measurement solutions for testing aircraft wings in static load tests and complex, multi-year simulations of an aircraft’s entire operational lifespan. Engineers and manufacturers use Interface fatigue-rated load cells in wing tests requiring millions of cycles. Aerospace testing labs use load cells and multi-axis sensors to conduct complex wing testing on drones, UAVs, defense aircraft, and commercial airplanes.
Payload Management

Boundless Opportunities in Payload Management Using Force Measurement

Interface force measurement products are staples for payload management, from early design through testing to launch. Payloads for aircraft, drones, rockets, and satellites are subject to extreme forces during launch, in-flight maneuvers, and landing. High-accuracy measurement tools, including load cells, torque transducers, DAQ systems, wireless sensors, and multi-axis sensors, are used for managing payloads.. Interface is a preferred supplier of test and measurement solutions for the aerospace industry.
