Kiguchi Technics

Kiguchi Technics, a contract test lab in Japan, is committed to investing in the latest testing technology as part of their Digitization Initiative aimed at improving efficiency. They recently implemented Bluehill Central throughout their lab for remote management of all their Instron universal testing systems.
 

Kent State University

At the Kent State University Experimental Archeology Lab, Dr. Metin Erin and Dr. Michelle Bebber rely on their universal testing system to analyze ancient technologies in the hopes of better understanding the material record of hominin history.

Primo Medical Group

As a leader in the development and manufacture of medical devices, Primo Medical Group holds over 130 patents and has produced thousands of products. Adaptability and security in their testing process is critically important to their goal of shipping the highest quality products possible.
 

LOLIWARE

LOLIWARE is working on developing a bio-renewable, biodegradable plastic derived from seaweed that they hope will reduce the impact of single-use plastic products that get discarded every day. As a start-up, being able to move quickly is critical – so they brought their testing in-house with the acquisition of a 3400 Series Universal Testing System.

SIEMENS

Through the use of machine learning, Siemens Digital Industries have incorporated the ability to predict fatigue behaviour for 3D printed components in their Simcenter 3D Specialist Durability software. With test data provided by ElectroPuls users at KU Leuven, the machine learning algorithm can assess build orientation and surface roughness to provide local SN curve predictions.

Realtest GmbH

Realtest GmbH, based in Blaubeuren, Germany, is an independent company offering advanced test and measuring technologies. The company conducts experimental fatigue life verification on components, assemblies and structures according to customer specifications. Read more about how Instron's Software helps to meet these requirements.
 

Samyang Biopharm

With an increasing demand from customers and new regulatory requirements that spanned across the globe, Samyang Biopharm needed an automated solution to remove the external factors that no longer suited their needs as a lab. See the changes they made with automation.
 
 

ZF

With its new development center in Shanghai, ZF has extended its development competences in the Chinese and Asiatic markets, thus being able to respond to specific market challenges more quickly. One of the highlights in the new development center is the Hydropuls® axle test rig. Read more about how ZF is using the Hydropuls® axle test rig to expand their markets.

UCL

Mechanical testing tissue microstructure is becoming an increasingly active area of research, especially in oncology. Investigating the mechanical properties of the microenvironment is key to creating a biomechanical model of tumor growth. Learn how the ElectroPuls helped to achieve this.
 
 

INNOPROOF

One of the main tests INNOPROOF - a German start-up company - specializes in is breast implant testing: this test can be demanding on dynamic testing machines because it is a load-control requirement, while operating on a very compliant specimen - this requires good controller performance and a large actuator stroke. Find out how the ElectroPuls solved this challenge.

Baowu Steel Group

Long-term mechanical properties of materials under variable frequency and amplitude will be a trend in the future. For a traditional servo-hydraulic machine, its frequency range is too small, maintenance costs are higher, and it is too noisy when running. And if we want to do a fatigue test of ultra-thin steels, traditional electromagnetic resonance high-frequency fatigue testing machines are difficult to dither. Both challenges urge us to find new solutions.

TÜV SÜD

In November 2016, TÜV SÜD Czech opened its new DYCOT (Dynamic Component Testing) development laboratory in Mlada Boleslav. At the heart of the new testing center is an acceleration sled supplied by Instron, which simulates crash situations. Read more about how the Instron CSA is significant to meet present and future challenges in the automotive sector.
