Structural Durability
Instron's structural durability testing systems enable laboratories to simulate real-world service loads under repeatable, controlled conditions — accelerating the evaluation of vehicle components and complete structures across their full design life without leaving the test facility.
Solutions range from simple single-channel component test rigs to complex multi-axis systems capable of simultaneously reproducing virtually all the loads a vehicle or structure experiences in service. A modular design concept allows individual test rig components to be configured and extended to meet the specific requirements of each application — providing the flexibility to adapt as testing programs evolve.
Instron's latest Labtronic EVO® controller platform brings a new level of efficiency and flexibility to structural durability test rigs, with a distributed architecture that reduces cabling, simplifies installation, and enables stepwise modernization of existing systems without full replacement.
The Hydropuls® product line provides all the components needed to build, configure, and extend individual structural durability test rigs — including actuators, servo valves, sensors, controllers, and power packs. Designed around a modular architecture, the Hydropuls® range gives laboratories the flexibility to assemble test rigs tailored to specific specimen types and load requirements, and to reconfigure or expand those rigs as testing programs change.
Instron has developed a range of standardized structural durability solutions in collaboration with the German automotive industry — purpose-built to accelerate common durability and performance characterization test applications and improve laboratory productivity. These solutions address the most frequently required test types with proven, optimized configurations that reduce setup time and deliver consistent, high-quality results across development programs.
