Instron

http://www.instron.us

Company Info
Instron is a company with total sales of over $240 million worldwide. Since the founding
of Instron in 1946, our operating philosophy is to support and protect our customers'
investment in their systems.

Instron's product lines use electromechanical and servohydraulic
technology to perform tensile, compression, bend, fatigue, structural, hardness and
impact testing. While capable of addressing a wide range of applications and many
different market segments, Instron products share technology and components in ways
that best fit customer requirements. Each product line is able to take advantage of
complementary strengths found in others.

Products

Universal Material Testing
Electromechanical test systems are the
most widely used and recognized Instron
products. Often referred to as universal
testers, these systems include applications
in almost every industry. Their uses range
from determination of the texture of food
products to measuring the strength
properties of ceramics at extremely
high temperatures.

High Capacity Testing
The SATECâ¢ series of static hydraulic testing
systems includes some of the most
rugged and durable machines ever made.
Developed for high capacity tension,
compression, bend and shear testing,
these frames are commonly used to test
metal samples, concrete, rebar, tube
and pipe, stranded wire, steel bar,
steel plate, fastener, wood and high
strength composites.

Fatigue Testing
Servohydraulic test systems are generally
used to test materials and components in
cyclic fatigue to either characterize
materials, or to simulate long-term
operation. Applications range from
bio-mechanical to aircraft engine
turbine blade material being tested under
simultaneous thermal and mechanical loads.

Impact Testing
DynatupÂ® impact instruments are designed
to determine the energy absorption
characteristics of test specimens and/or
components. A full range of models are
offered, each designed to meet the energy,
load and velocity requirements specified.
Impulseâ¢ software can be included to
facilitate automated control, data
acquisition, graphic test display, calculated
results, reports and data base
management. Optional fixtures are
available to support basic test (e.g. Charpy,
Izod) to highly sophisticated test protocols.
Specific ASTM, ISO, EN, DIN and industrial
standards are supported.

Hardness Testing
WilsonÂ® Instruments, an Instron Company, is
the originator of the RockwellÂ® tester.
Rockwell testing is the most widely used
method of evaluating hardness. Both the
Rockwell 2000 and the Tukonâ¢ 2100 are
considered the most precise, consistent
and accurate instruments for hardness
testing. With our electromechanical digital
control technology, the repeatability and
reliability of our Rockwell testers have
improved beyond anything else currently
available in the marketplace.

Torsion Testing
Instronâs torsion product line includes
hydraulic solutions for fatigue and static
applications and electromechanical
solutions for applications that require
multiple turns.

Biomedical Testing
Instron has engineered the Biopulsâ¢ range
of systems to be the most advanced
solution for biomedical testing challenges.
With demands as diverse as low-force
biomechanical testing on native tissues
to complex multi-axial simulation of
orthopedic implants, we ensure that
our systems best fit the needs of
individual customers.
