Comment connecter des transducteurs aux systèmes Instron : quatre méthodes
L’intégration de capteurs et de transducteurs tiers dans un système d’essai Instron — qu’il s’agisse de force, de déformation, de température, de pression ou de déplacement — nécessite de choisir la méthode de connexion adaptée à votre configuration. Cet article présente les quatre approches prises en charge : l’entrée analogique 0–10 V, la connexion rationalisée avec auto-identification et auto-étalonnage dans Bluehill Universal, l’étalonnage polynomial personnalisé pour les transducteurs non-Instron, et l’entrée de données numériques via des équipements tiers tels que le HBM QuantumX MX430B.

5 étapes pour une automatisation efficace des essais mécaniques dans les laboratoires biomédicaux des CDMO
Alors que la demande de seringues auto-bloquantes augmente, les laboratoires des CDMO subissent une pression croissante pour accroître le débit des essais sans sacrifier la précision ou la répétabilité. Ce guide présente cinq étapes pour sélectionner, configurer et tirer le meilleur parti d’un système d’essais mécaniques basé sur un cobot — de l’évaluation des besoins de votre laboratoire au choix de l’automatisation appropriée, en passant par l’optimisation de la collecte des données et la simplification de la maintenance.

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
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.

Understanding Melt Flow Testing and Its Importance
Melt flow testing is a measure of the flow of a polymer when melted. The result is called the mass-flow rate (MFR) or volume-flow rate (MVR).

The Truth About Strain Gauge Load Cells vs. Pressure Transducers
Load cells independently and directly measure the force being applied to specimens. Pressure transducers measure force indirectly from the oil pressure observed in the cylinder. Which is superior? The answer is simple: Load cell technology due to the fact that some of the pressure in a hydraulic system has nothing to do with the load being applied to the specimen.
