New InterfaceIQ podcast and sensor cheat sheet
Interface is pleased to announce the release of two new force measurement resources on ForceEDU We're delighted to announce the launch of the InterfaceIQ Podcast and our detailed InterfaceIQ Sensor Cheat Sheets. These tools are designed to provide you with accessible and valuable insights into the world of force measurement, whether you're just getting started with load cells or are already a seasoned test and measurement professional.
Our mission is to share the nearly six decades of experience and expertise gained from manufacturing millions of load cells and other sensors with users around the world. These two new additions to ForceEDU are tools for you.
The InterfaceIQ podcast is your digital mentor
The InterfaceIQ Podcast is new to our industry. Hosted by the likeable Max Newton and the extraordinary Molly Moment, this podcast series is an ideal companion for engineers, innovators, and anyone interested in force sensor technologies and their applications worldwide. Subscribe here. InterfaceIQ Podcast Playlist.
In each episode, Max and Molly break down complex topics into easy-to-understand information, covering everything from the basics of force measurement to practical applications and answers to frequently asked questions.
Tune in and listen as they discuss topics related to "Load Cells 101." Get a comprehensive overview of the different types of load cells—including low-profile, S-type, and multi-axis sensors. Gain insight into how these sensors work, the engineering design principles behind load cells, and various application areas. The podcast goes beyond load cells to provide examples of sensor types, such as the difference between rotary and reaction torque transducers and their critical role in testing everything from engines to turbines. Max and Molly also discuss key topics such as selecting the right sensor for your needs, understanding data acquisition, and the importance of calibration.
Every two weeks, we release a new episode on our Interface YouTube channel, where you can listen to the latest conversations. The podcast is a dynamic, conversational resource that lets you absorb key information at your own pace, making it easier than ever to expand your knowledge of force measurement.
