For the first time ever, Instron and four other members of Illinois Tool Works' (ITW) Test and Measurement Group will combine forces at Control 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany and jointly present their offerings under one roof. At Stand 1522 in Hall 1, visitors will find a host of valuable information for testing a wide spectrum of materials and components, from hard to soft and from ductile to brittle.
The companies will be presenting their product portfolios and newly developed products for static and dynamic tensile, compression and torsion testing (Instron), non-destructive X-ray testing and computed tomography (North Star Imaging, NSI), crack detection (ITW Tiede), hardness testing (Wilson Hardness), and specimen preparation (Buehler).
Instron will focus on its cost-saving 5900 EXTEND™ Retrofit Packages for upgrading legacy Instron testing systems. Retrofit packages enable customers to safeguard their original investment by utilizing state-of-the-art electronic control systems and testing software. Other instruments presented at Control include the all-electric dynamic testing instrument, Electropuls® E1000, and the 5969 dual column mechanical testing system.
NSI, based in Rogers, Minnesota, will make its European debut as a globally leading provider of X-ray systems and industrial Computed Tomography (CT) systems, both standard and application-specific, for the 3D monitoring of the interior structures of components made from a wide range of materials. At Control 2012, NSI will showcase the newly-developed X-View X25 -- a high-resolution CT which requires only limited space in the test lab and is primarily dedicated to checking the quality of small parts with submicron resolution for markets such as electronics, research, and medical device.
ITW Tiede is a global manufacturer and supplier of systems and accessories for surface crack detection on magnetizable and non-magnetizable components using the magnetic particle and penetration test methods. A new product in the area of magnetic particle testing, which will be launched at Control 2012, is the company's compact and therefore extremely versatile ISOTEST 30 E high-current power pack for magnetization of test specimens with alternating or full-wave direct current.
Wilson Hardness is one of the internationally leading manufacturers of systems for hardness testing to Rockwell, Knoop / Vickers and Brinell. The brand “Wilson Hardness” combines three renowned manufacturers – Reicherter, Wolpert and Wilson – each one representing a long tradition in manufacturing hardness testers. A highlight at Control 2012 will be the company's complex, yet easy-to-use automation systems for hardness measurement, which help users save time and money. A main point of interest will be the company's new, user-friendly and intuitive software to support increasingly complex testing challenges in production and test laboratories.
Buehler, a leading manufacturer for materials preparation and analysis equipment, will highlight its automated grinding and polishing systems Series EcoMet/AutoMet at Control 2012. These powerful, stable and sturdy devices are conceived for applications involving high specimen throughput. The programmable 'Pro' model variants enable presetting of the required amount of material to be removed. An optional Burst System ensures flexible and cost-efficient metering of polishing suspensions and lubricants.
All five companies are housed under the Illinois Tool Works (ITW) umbrella. ITW, based in Glenview, Illinois, is a highly diversified and de-centrally organized industrial company with a staff of over 60,000 that operates 825 businesses located in 52 countries spanning the globe, and provides a wide spectrum of products for the international market. The major activities of the company are concentrated in the areas of Transport, Industrial Packaging, Power Systems & Electronics, Food Equipment, Construction Products, Polymers and Fluids, and Decorative Surface. A further group of businesses, including the materials testing systems and software manufacturers present at Control 2012, are part of IW's Test & Measurement Group.
