This week has seen Instron in attendance at ‘The Composites Engineering Show’. Held annually at the NEC in Birmingham (UK), it’s a great opportunity to showcase the combined talents of the Composites industry. This year exhibitors presented a range of technologies from rapid prototyping to CADCAM and robotic systems. Also in attendance were cars from the Red Bull racing and Honda Yuasa teams.
The star performer at our stand was the ElectroPuls™, which spent much of its time fatigue testing a rubber aeroplane from the Westmoreland stand! Supporting the ElectroPuls were the 9310 drop tower and the 5969 static testing frame. Respectively, these machines represent our Cyclic/Fatigue, Impact and Tensile/Compressive testing capabilities.
During the course of the event, we were approached about testing anything from car doors to concrete. To my mind, this perfectly demonstrates the breadth and diversity of the materials testing industry, and I think it’s a credit to the versatility of our machines that we talk about such a wide range of applications positively and with experience. If you have a testing requirement that needs filling, why not leave us a comment below and we’ll contact you?
