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.
 

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.

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.
 
 
 

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.

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.
 
 

Baowu Steel Group

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

bioMMeda lab

One of the challenges the bioMMeda lab - focused on biofluid, tissue, and solid mechanics for medical applications - faces is the need for flexible testing equipment that enables a multitude of tests in order to validate model simulations. The testing lab requires testing specimens in unique positions and orientations, in addition to testing at non-ambient temperatures and in fluid baths to simulate conditions in the human body. Learn how they overcame these challenges.
