Instron

While researching replacement materials for parachutes, two scientists discovered that no testing machine was accurate enough to meet their demands. They founded Instron in 1946, and we pioneered universal testing machines featuring strain-gauge load cells. Today, Instron remains committed to delivering the highest quality, leading-edge technologies and services designed to push the boundaries of research, quality control and service-life testing. Our systems evaluate the mechanical properties of materials and structures using tensile, compression, flexural, fatigue, impact, dynamic, torsional and multi-axial loading. Through a global infrastructure, we offer a broad range of local service capabilities, including calibration, verification, training, technical support and assistance with laboratory management.

  • WaveMatrix 2 Dynamic and Fatigue Materials Testing Software

    Instron

    WaveMatrix 2 software for dynamic and fatigue testing delivers flexibility - run everything from a simple static ramp, to cyclic waveforms through to complex multi-step, multi-axial tests. The highly-visual environment with integrated tabular screens, clear menu structures, time-based matrix test preview, and configurable live test workspace is designed to be intuitive and instill user confidence. It is packed with intelligent features for fatigue testing such as data reduction and built-in project organization designed to simplify your testing.

  • Static Load Cells

    2530 Series - Instron

    2530 Series load cells with capacities of 5 N to 100 N are for use with 3300 and 5900 testing systems. 2530 Series Load cells with capacities of 500 N to 100 kN are for use with 3300 testing systems.  The design, manufacture, and performance verification is conducted with materials testing applications in mind. Automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration makes them easy to use. The load cells incorporate overload protection and can withstand loads up to 150% of their force capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure. The load cells allow the user to zero out the tare weight of a grip or fixture that weighs up to 10% or 40% of the force capacity, depending on the model, while still maintaining the full specified accuracy.

  • 6-Axis Robotic Automated Testing System

    Instron

  • Axial Clip-On Extensionmeters for Cable

    Instron

    Rugged design extensometer for axial tensile testing of stranded wire requiring a long gage length device and the ability to measure axial elongation accurately on a specimen that twists when pulled. This design allows long measuring ranges, yet retains compatibility with electronics for strain gaged transducers. Meets existing ASTM class B-2 and ISO 9513, class 0,5 requirements for accuracyDuring operation, the upper half of the extensometer pulls out of the main body. Tapered measuring beams activate strain gaged flexures within the unit. The units have hardened tool steel knife edges that are easily replaced. Quick attach kit (included) allows easy one hand mounting on specimen. Removal of the extensometer from the specimen prior to fracture, to avoid damage to the instrument, is strongly recommended.Type of Loading: static tension Specimen Material: alloy steel Specimen Types: stranded cable

  • Bi-axial Dynacell Load Cells

    Instron

    During tests carried out on servohydraulic machines, elements of the system are subject to acceleration. As a result, in addition to the force applied to the specimen, the load cell also reads forces resulting from its own movement and the mass of the grips and fixtures attached to it. Dynacell is the world's first truly dynamic load cell, designed from the outset for measuring dynamic loads. Dynacell introduces the following advantages:*Reduces dynamic load errors which can be a significant percentage of reading *Increases productivity by allowing higher frequency operation while maintaining test validity *Improvements such as doubling the frequency are common
