University of Waterloo Capstone Tackles Physical Strain in Medical Imaging

Interface case study highlights the LARS project by the Capstone Symposium Team at the University of Waterloo. The Load Assistance for Reduced-Strain Sonography medical solution is a semi-robotic articulated arm engineered to aid with probe force application while keeping the sonographer fully in control of the procedure. The medical system, using an Interface load cell, integrates directly into existing clinical workflows and provides assistive support without disrupting the established scanning methods of the medical professional.
Ultra Mini Load Cells

Understanding Ultra Miniature Load Cells

Interface Ultra Miniature Load Cells maintain the demanding performance standards of larger models while addressing the spatial limitations inherent in testing small components or integrating them into devices, parts, or end-products. Selecting an ultra mini sensor, whether a ULC, SuperSC, WMC, or another model, requires understanding the specific form factor and how it handles external loads. The core of this category includes using load cells that fit dimensionally and by capacity and capabilities.
Overload
