ForcePod
Include Force Interaction in framework of the Pod Platform
Meet the ForcePod: a high-performance module engineered to translate bridge-type load cell data into actionable digital intelligence. Featuring a universal DB9 connector and TEDS-compatible cell identification, it offers a true “plug-and-play” experience for force integration. Whether you need to capture a split-second peak load or require a continuous, high-speed readout for shifting dynamic loads, the ForcePod’s sensitive analog-to-digital conversion ensures every Newton is accounted for with rock-solid reliability.
When synced with our Pod ecosystem, the ForcePod allows you to measure exactly how a system reacts to external pressure. For automated doors, this is the ultimate tool for analyzing pinch forces, obstruction detection, and user input. By pairing force data with the Pod’s native speed and acceleration tracking, you get a complete synchronized profile of the event. We even offer dedicated hardware add-ons—including a compact 3D load cell and an ergonomic handle design—to ensure fast, torque-free installations for every test scenario.
Bridge the gap between load and logic by combining ForcePod with EZMotion 3D tracking. While EZMotion captures the precise deflection of a single point or an entire point cloud, the ForcePod registers the exact load being applied to the structure. Together, they provide everything you need to map complex stiffness data and displacement-versus-force curves. Thanks to the high-speed dynamics of both systems, you aren’t limited to slow, static “bench” tests—you can push your components through their full dynamic range in real-time.
