Braided Rope Tensile Testing

Braided Rope Tensile Testing

My name is Landon Goldfarb and I am an applications engineer, which is really a fancy way of saying it is my job to successfully break anything thrown my way. This is the first in a series of stories cultivated from my time working in the applications lab highlighting unique applications and the novel solutions we have employed. At 8:00 AM, give or take, every morning, I arrive at our office – always excited to see what has shown up on our testing backlog. Perhaps elastomers for racing tires on a Monday and then moving on to artificial bone by Thursday. When people ask what kind of products we test, I will often respond by asking them what they did today. After looking back quizzically, they may say “I woke up, got dressed, had some juice, and then drove to work”. To which I could say, taking a deep breath first, “We may test the durability of the springs in your mattress, the elasticity in the fibers of your clothing, the torque necessary to open the juice packaging, and last but not least a myriad of functional tests on the individual components in a car.”

When You Don’t Take Advantage of Software Updates

When You Don’t Take Advantage of Software Updates

As Technical Support Manager at the Instron® corporate headquarters, I have answered my share of customer questions and hopefully brought more clarity to testing operators. Through this kind of customer exposure, my team and I are constantly taking note of feedback to make our products better. In particular, we receive calculation requests, discover bugs, and think of new features for our software products. As we develop and release software updates, many of these suggestions are added.

¿Qué Significa Realmente el Software «Apto para Pantallas Táctiles»?

¿Qué Significa Realmente el Software «Apto para Pantallas Táctiles»?

Existe una diferencia significativa entre un software que se puede usar con una pantalla táctil y un software que se ha diseñado realmente para ella. Al desarrollar Bluehill® Universal, el equipo global de desarrollo de software de Instron se propuso cerrar esa brecha, replanteando desde cero la experiencia del software de ensayo de materiales para cumplir las expectativas táctiles que los operadores traen ahora de su vida cotidiana.
