The Automotive Testing Solutions brochure is a 36-page, applications-focused, and standards-based brochure. Important standards such as ASTM D412, ISO 37, and ISO 11443 are covered in a detailed testing challenge and solution format. The brochure addresses the most prominent and widely used standards in materials testing for the automotive industry.
The Instron® XY Test Stage is designed to accommodate the trend of testing end products or components. Within the medical device industry, many components, sub-assemblies, or end products have multiple elements, like leads, that need to be tested independently of one another. Often the elements tested are in close proximity to one another. Using the XY-Stage, the specimen is fixated on the system and testing is performed on the individual elements. The XY-Stage easily and quickly relocates the specimen so that the next element can be tested without having to reinstall the specimen. Additionally, when initial alignment is critical for successful testing, the XY-Stage provides the ability for repeatable and quick results, including applications like insertion and withdrawal testing, or precision bend testing. The general flexibility of the XY-Stage allows it to adapt almost any specimen to your universal testing systems.
