Instron TestMaster™ 2 Automated Testing Systems enable a new dimension of testing productivity.

These systems were designed as a solution to these common testing challenges:

• Safety
• Throughput
• Repetitive Tasks/Better Use of Skilled Operators
• Variability of Results

Available as either a complete turnkey solution or fitted to existing Instron testing instruments, both options are tailored to your testing operations and throughput requirements.

The unique modular design of the TestMaster 2 automated testing systems provide the broad control and handling capability needed to fulfill a wide range of applications.

Standardized systems are available for the following application areas: rubber tensile and tear, plastics tensile and flex, thin films tensile, metals tensile, and component testing.

Instron offers an extensive range of fully-integrated dynamic and fatigue testing systems from 1000 N up to 5000 kN. Incorporating servohydraulic, servo-electric and linear motor technologies, these test instruments cover a broad range of fatigue, dynamic, and static testing applications.

These applications include high-cycle fatigue, low-cycle fatigue, thermo-mechanical fatigue, fracture mechanics, crack propagation and growth studies, fracture toughness, bi-axial, axial-torsional, multi-axial, high strain rate, quasi-static, creep, stress-relaxation, and other types of dynamic and static tests.

Instron^® electromechanical universal testing machines perform tensile, compression, bend, peel, tear, and other mechanical tests on materials and products to ASTM, ISO, and other industry standards. These systems are available in a range of sizes and maximum force capacities. From small, low-force systems to test microelectronics, biomaterials, and films in the biomedical and electronics industries to large, high-force systems to test metals and composites in the automotive and aerospace industries, Instron has systems suitable for all applications. With over 50,000 systems installed worldwide, businesses and universities involved in quality control and research & development have relied on Instron systems to perform groundbreaking research, develop innovative new materials, and ensure best-in-class manufacturing processes.

Impact resistance is one of the most important properties for component designers to consider, as well as the most difficult to quantify. Impact resistance is a critical measure of service life and it involves the perplexing problem of product safety and liability. Instron has more than 80 years experience in designing impact testing systems to simulate real-life impact conditions.

Instron®'s CEAST Melt Flow Testers are specifically designed for easy and accurate measuring of the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and the Melt Volume Rate (MVR). CEAST Melt Flow Testers range from systems that perform a simple manual test procedure to semi-automated testing systems performing multiple weight tests. Our testers meet ASTM and ISO standards.

The Industrial Series is comprised of high-capacity, hydraulic testing systems for tension and compression applications. Ranging from 300 kN (67,500 lbf) to 2,000 kN (450,000 lbf), standard models feature large diameter columns and rugged components for superior frame stiffness and durability.

Understanding the critical importance of operator safety, these models incorporate high-quality materials, components, and craftsmanship. Custom designs are also available in higher capacities or unique configurations such as horizontal or compression-only frames.

The Instron line of low and medium capacity torsion testers provide dependable mulit-turn capability. Available in capacities ranging from 22 - 5,650 N-m (200 - 50,000 in lb), these systems are ideal for biomedical, automotive, and aerospace applications.
