DateDescription
2012. 05. 04. Undergraduate and post-graduate students at the Institute of Polymeric Materials and Testing (ipmt) at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz in Austria can rely on three Instron electrodynamic testing systems to help them analyse the failure behaviour of polymers.
2012. 05. 03. For the first time ever, five members of Illinois Tool Works' (ITW) Test and Measurement Group will be combining forces at Control 2012, jointly presenting their offering under one roof. At the Stand 1522 in Hall 1, professional visitors will find a host of valuable information for testing a wide spectrum of materials and components, from hard to soft and from ductile to brittle.
2012. 05. 03. Instron EXTEND Upgrade Packages allow users of Instron electromechanical test machines to provide their systems with enhanced functionality and latest safety features at the fraction of the cost of a new machine. The comprehensive, modular feature set designed specifically for the respective load frame includes new controllers and powerful signal conditioning modules, identical to those used on new Instron machines.
2011. 08. 31. The newly developed Instron CEAST AlOxide® thermal tester determines the Vicat softening temperature and HDT heat deflection temperature of plastics at temperatures up to 500 °C, allowing measurements to be conducted even on highly temperature resistant thermoplastics such as PEEK. Unlike conventional instruments, which use silicone oil as heating medium and typically offer maximum temperatures of 300 °C, the Instron CEAST AlOxide uses heat-resistant aluminium oxide powder in a fluid bed. The method is expected to be adopted in the relevant European standards in the near future.
2011. 06. 29. New motorized pendulum impact testing system for increased productivity and operator safety
2011. 06. 29. Versatile Grips facilitate loading of large specimens, deliver enhanced gripping performance.
2011. 06. 29. With the new Bluehill® 3 materials testing software, Instron introduces an updated and enhanced version of its proven and widely acknowledged software for measurement, test control and report generation in the determination of the mechanical properties of materials, structures and components.
2011. 04. 12. A newly developed team of Instron experts focusing on composite solutions for mechanical testing.
2011. 04. 11. A compilation of Instron-grown technical tips, customer interaction around shared problems & solutions, and event updates on where Instron will be and when.
2011. 03. 23. With a nominal force capacity of 250 N, Instron's pneumatically actuated grips type 2712-019 are particularly suited to testing of biological tissue samples and other specimens made of thin and/or soft materials.
