Interface sensors are utilized around the world by all types of industries for test and measurement applications. As we were first to bring a LowProfile Load Cell to market over 50 years ago, our load cells evolved from use testing in labs to being embedded into products to collect real-time data through wireless communications from sensors that are unseen to the end-user.

Interface’s robust line of load cells, torque transducers, multi-axis sensors, and instrumentation are used for continuous improvement programs, advancements in smart manufacturing and new product designs globally. If it must be measured anywhere in the world, Interface has a solution.

What is impacting the greatest international growth for all types of sensors technologies?  According to market analysis and based on Interface’s experience, it’s being fed by:

  • Miniaturization of Products and Sensors Used in Testing and OEMs
  • Industrial Automation and Robotics
  • Innovation in Aerospace and Automotive
  • IoT – Internet of Things

Interface force measurement solutions are used to gather data from machines, components, equipment, consumer products by metrologists, engineers, and testing experts for all these types of use cases. Read more about the global trends for Interface solutions here.

Our global network for representatives and distributors works with you to find the best solution to fit your exact requirements. You can locate your local representative here.
