Materials 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, HDT and Vicat, automated testing systems, torsion testers, structural durability testing and crash simulation systems. We also have available controller upgrades, static hydraulic upgrades and software upgrades as well as repair and refurbishment for Instron® testing machines to assure accurate, repeatable test results and to extend your system's useful life.
Our large product portfolio allows technicians to evaluate materials ranging from biological 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 include electromechanical series and industrial series to perform static testing, including tensile and compression applications.
Dynamic testing systems are used to perform fatigue, fracture mechanics, bi-axial, multi-axial, high strain rate and thermo-mechanical fatigue tests.
Impact resistance is a critical property for designers, measuring service life while raising product safety and liability concerns.
Automated Testing Systems enable a new dimension of testing productivity, improve safety, reduce variability, save time and increase throughput. Options are tailored to your testing operations and throughput requirements.
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.
HDT and Vicat 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).
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 many applications.
View Instron testing systems that are no longer in production, including Product Life Cycle status and availability of software upgrades and system retrofits, as well as guidance on maintaining long‑term performance and support.
Instron testing equipment is built to last, with systems often lasting over 18 years on service contracts. Maximize longevity through retrofits and upgrades to access the latest functionality, minimize downtime, and boost efficiency.
