VALIDATION
ElectroPuls systems have been used successfully across many industries to run experiments that speed the release of products to market in a standards-driven testing environment. Examples of safety-critical applications in the dental and orthopedic industries include ASTM F543, ISO 7206, ISO 14801, ASTM F1717, and ISO 7209 — standards that demand precise, repeatable results since the products being tested may ultimately be implanted in the human body. Common examples of non-biomedical tests include automotive applications such as engine mounts, plastics, and composites, where consistent, standards-compliant data is equally critical to product safety and performance.
Instron has been updating and evolving ElectroPuls systems and customer services to ensure the highest levels of safety, consistency, and efficiency, keeping pace with evolving standards and the growing complexity of the products being tested. In addition, Instron offers training from our engineers to ensure the machines can be used immediately, to their full capability — so your team can start generating reliable, standards-compliant data from day one.

Get Started Quickly
Instron provides expertise to guide you through the process, from ordering to installation of the systems, with record lead times. Our class-leading processes ensure that you'll receive a fully functional system to start your testing exactly when you need it, without the delays that can derail a research timeline or product launch schedule.
Our global service and support team, having installed hundreds of systems already, will support you every step of the way — installing, calibrating, and training your personnel so that you're ready to test as quickly as possible. Whether you're standing up a new lab or adding capacity to an existing one, our team works alongside yours to make sure the transition to testing is smooth, not just fast.
Reliable Testing
Instron is a company you can depend on, having already helped many world-class organizations validate products across a wide range of industries and applications. You can be confident that your systems will deliver the best performance available, test after test, year after year.
Operating under ISO 9001 quality standards and with an extensive list of accreditations, Instron employs a product design philosophy where our customers' data, integrity, safety, and protection of investment are paramount. That commitment doesn't end at installation — it carries through every calibration, every service visit, and every upgrade path we offer, so the system you rely on today continues to perform reliably for years to come.
SIMULATION
Instron understands that predicting how products will behave and change over time is a real challenge for many of our customers. It's often crucial for researchers to understand and replicate exact forces and motions. ElectroPuls gives you the capability to run unconventional tests that replicate real-life motions and events, as well as simple loading regimes.
Versatility
Handle a wide range of test types and specimen configurations without switching systems.
Dynamic Capability
Run complex, high-speed test sequences with precision and control.
Advanced Control
Go beyond basic waveforms to define exactly the test parameters your application requires.
Testing Solutions
Impulse Testing of Athletic Footwear
Waveform Versatility
ElectroPuls systems give you exceptional capability to simulate the exact loading conditions you need, well beyond a simple static or cyclic run. Our systems can create complex waveforms and rapid changes in velocity and acceleration. The combination of dynamic performance and control ensures precise feedback.
Simulation Testing of Keyboards
Advanced Control
ElectroPuls frames run both static and dynamic tests. These tests can produce more than just position, load, or strain waveforms — choose energy, acceleration, or any user-defined calculation instead. This flexibility gives you the ability to replicate real-life situations.
UNIVERSAL
Instron delivers flexible, multi-user systems suited to a wide variety of projects, labs, and applications. Many of our customers need a system that adapts to their test rather than the other way around, eliminating the need to anticipate exact future requirements before purchasing — a real advantage for research labs, universities, and multi-project facilities where testing needs can shift from one week to the next.
ElectroPuls offers configurable dynamic systems, including linear and linear-torsion variants, for testing across an assortment of specimens and materials. Whether your team needs to run a simple tensile test one day and a complex torsional fatigue test the next, the same system can handle both, without swapping out hardware or investing in a second machine.
A single ElectroPuls model can be used for all of your diverse requirements, giving you the flexibility to take on new projects and evolving test standards as they arise — protecting your investment well beyond the scope of what you're testing today.
Flexible
Adapt your system to new tests and applications as your requirements evolve.
Bi-Axial Variants
Combine axial and torsional testing in a single, integrated system.
Safe
Built-in safety features protect operators without slowing down testing.
Testing Solutions
Torsional Tests of Plastics: Capability Without Complexity
ElectroPuls systems perform across multiple applications, whether static or dynamic, linear or torsional. The patented biaxial motor of ElectroPuls instruments combines axial and torsional testing with an integrated actuator, increasing your testing capability without adding complexity to your system.
Fatigue Tests of Plastics Using AVE2 Non-Contacting Extensometry — Static and Dynamic Testing
ElectroPuls isn't just a dynamic testing system. At its heart is a linear-drive electric motor that provides sufficient stroke for most monotonic tests. Combined with Instron's Bluehill® Universal software, this makes ElectroPuls a truly universal testing instrument.
MATERIALS
ElectroPuls lets you research material properties with full confidence in your results. The systems produce consistent, high-precision data test after test, so you can trust the numbers you're building your research or product decisions on.
Knowing your specimen is secure both before and during testing means you can focus on analyzing your data instead of second-guessing your setup — a critical distinction when even small inconsistencies in specimen alignment or clamping can introduce variability that undermines an otherwise well-designed study.
A wide variety of tests can be performed on ElectroPuls, including tension, compression, torsion, durability, fatigue, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), fracture mechanics, and more — giving materials researchers a single, versatile platform to characterize how a material behaves under the full range of conditions it may encounter in real-world use.
Accuracy
Precise, repeatable results you can trust for critical material characterization work.
Ease of Use
Intuitive setup and operation reduce training time and operator error.
Smart Software
Powerful analysis tools handle the calculations, so you can focus on your research.
Testing Solutions
ElectroPuls delivers exceptional data accuracy.
Coupled with Instron's Dynacell™ technology for reduced inertial errors and patented Stiffness Based Tuning, you can count on your system for hassle-free testing.
Engine Mount Testing — Smart Software
Instron's smart software, WaveMatrix™3, lets you spend more time on your valuable research and less on post-processing by calculating standard or custom formulas within the software itself, so material properties are determined for you. This data can be viewed either while the test is running or in a document once the test is complete.
