Instron, a recognised worldwide market leader in the materials testing industry, is showcasing its new products at JEC Europe 2015, a global composites show and conference, currently going on in Paris, France.

The company is exhibiting the new Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE2), which is a fully-integrated device that easily adapts to the normal fluctuations of environmental conditions in lab and is easily adapted to any testing machine on the market that uses a ±10v analog input. Designed to reduce errors from thermal and lighting variations that are common in most labs, the AVE2 is the only device on the market to utilize the real-time 490 Hz data rate while also achieving around 1 micron accuracy, Instron said in a statement.

Visitors to JEC can see Instron’s new TestProfiler. The TestProfiler offers unprecedented flexibility in setting up automated product reliability tests that mimic the functional use of the product being tested.

It allows for easy setup of tests that require repetitive cycles for component quality testing commonly used with customers testing foam and spring, or performing proof-loading tests and ability to build test flow logic by monitoring and responding to internal and external sensors and digital states.

For dynamic and fatigue testing of composites, Instron is demonstrating the ElectroPuls E3000, all-electric test instrument with a nominal force capacity up to ±3 kN, designed both for static testing at low speeds and high-frequency dynamic testing at several hundred hertz.

The last range of exhibit is an Instron CEAST 9340 Drop Tower designed to deliver 0.30 - 405 J (0.22 - 299 ft-lb) of energy which allows to evaluate the impact resistance of composite plates performing Compression After Impact (CAI) test.

Instron’s largest product lines include universal and dynamic testing intrsuments. Other product lines include impact, rheology, thermo-mechanical, and torsion testing system. (GK)
