Testing Systems

As the leading global manufacturer of testing equipment for the material and structural testing markets, our product line includes: universal, dynamic & fatigue, impact, rheology, thermo-mechanical, automated testing systems, torsion testers, Structural Durability testing and Crash Simulation Systems.

Our large product portfolio allows technicians to evaluate materials ranging from native tissue to advanced high-strength alloys by performing a variety of tests such as compression, cyclic, fatigue, impact, multi-axis, rheology, tensile, and torsion.

Universal Testing Systems

Universal Testing Systems include electromechanical series and industrial series to perform static testing, including tensile and compression applications.

Dynamic and Fatigue Testing Systems

Dynamic testing systems covers ElectroPuls electrodynamic and 8800 series servohydraulic machines for performing fatigue, fracture mechanics, bi-axial, multi-axial, high strain rate and thermo-mechanical fatigue tests.

Automated Testing Systems

Automated Testing Systems enable a new dimension of testing productivity. - Improve Safety - Reduce variability - Save time - Increase throughput Available as either a complete turnkey solution or fitted to existing Instron testing instruments, options are tailored to your testing operations and throughput requirements.

Crash Simulation

Instron’s acceleration sled systems are used for the development and approval of vehicle safety systems and vehicle parts and also for the investigation of solids and structures during crash events.

Impact Drop Towers & Pendulums

Impact resistance is one of the most important properties for component designers to consider, as well as the most difficult to quantify. Impact resistance is a critical measure of service life and it involves the perplexing problem of product safety and liability.

Rheometers and Melt Flow Testers

The Instron line of CEAST Rheology systems are used to measure the rheological properties of thermoplastics to characterize the polymer melt flow behavior in the process conditions.

Structural Durability

Growing demands on the comfort and reliability of vehicles require functional and life-time tests of components or complete systems to avoid hazards for humans and the environment or damage in the economic field. Instron offers comprehensive know-how in the area of service load simulation, comfort and vibration tests in the area of testing passenger cars, busses, trucks or special vehicles.

ThermoMechanical Systems

The Instron line of Thermo-mechanical systems are used to characterize the behavior of plastic materials at high temperatures, measuring the heat deflection temperature (HDT) and the Vicat softening temperature (Vicat).

Torsion Testers

The Instron line of low and medium capacity torsion testers provide dependable mulit-turn capability. Available in capacities ranging from 22 - 5,650 N-m (200 - 50,000 in lb), these systems are ideal for biomedical, automotive, and aerospace applications.
