There is a wide range of instruments used in test and measurement. Depending on the application requirements, Interface offers numerous options from full-data acquisition to wireless technology telemetry systems. The selection of instrumentation solutions Interface provides include signal conditioners, output modules, high-speed data loggers, portable load cell indicators, weight indicators, and junction boxes.
Some test and measurement projects require a simple digital display indicator or USB output module to get fast, accurate readings. Whereas, calibration and multiple load cell testing projects may need a multi-channel DAQ or bridge amplifier with a PC module. To see the variety of our high-quality instrumentation products used with our load cells, torque transducers, and calibration systems, check out our Instrumentation Overview.
Sensors are essential in innovation, with a dependency on accuracy and reliability that impacts lives and ingenuity. Interface delivered an extraordinary force measurement solution for a big infrastructure project. Engineering and custom solution experts created custom load pins to measure the seismic force on the Gerald Desmond Bridge. Check out the interesting details here.
One of our primary differentiators from other pancake load cells in the marketplace is because of a process called moment compensation. We run this production test on our LowProfile® load cells to guarantee minimal influence from off-axis loads known as “moments.” Interface Engineer Carlos Salamanca reveals how moment compensation makes the difference in this latest InterfaceIQ post.
Interface’s Load Cell Field Guide has been updated and re-released on Amazon. This useful reference for engineers and students provides in-depth information about using load cells and strain gages to accurately measure force. There are various application case studies, a glossary, technology content, product schematics, and how-to references. You can read more about the latest release here.
