(Free) Instron WEB Seminar Series: Not Just Punching Tests. New Applications of the Drop Weight Impact Testing Machine - Wedge Delamination Test & Tensile Impact Test

Instrumentation drop weight impact testing machine. It supports a wide range of tests from materials to components, including Charpy, Izod, punching, and CAI tests (compression after impact).

The 9400 series has been developed to provide faster results, fewer errors, and lower training costs for customers at the forefront of high-quality advanced materials development, particularly in laboratories focused on the development of high-strength and lightweight products. The 9400 series drop weight impact testers comply with all major impact testing standards ranging from 0.3J to 1800J. They feature a simple operating procedure, preset test conditions and guided testing, streamlined data management, output for analytical data, and compatibility with high-speed cameras. With these features, Instron's 9400 series drop weight impact testers become simpler, smarter, and safer. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

• Impact Test

High-speed camera shooting is possible! A drop weight impact testing machine that easily synchronizes video and load signals.

The "9400 Series" is a drop weight impact testing machine that can be used not only for punching but also for compression, three-point bending, and tensile-tensile impact tests. As the use of thermoplastics, composites, and metal alloys as high-performance materials for weight reduction in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications increases, the need to streamline the product development process and confirm the consistency between simulations and test results is extremely important. The weight is adjusted to maintain a constant strain rate and speed as much as possible throughout the elongation of the specimen during the impact event. 【Features】 ■ Capable of measuring high strain rates at impact speeds of up to 22 m/s ■ Tensile impact fixture test temperature range: -50 to +120°C (standard piezo sensor) ■ Transparent panels are placed around the test area, allowing for high-speed camera recording ■ Easy synchronization of video and load signals ■ DIC analysis to evaluate the longitudinal strain of the specimen after impact in a tensile impact condition *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company will be exhibiting at the "13th Chubu Lifeguard TECH 2025 - Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Crisis Management Exhibition" held at Port Messe Nagoya. This exhibition aims to build a resilient society that can confront the next major disaster, showcasing products, technologies, and services that contribute to "disaster prevention, mitigation, and crisis management." It also seeks to enhance the disaster response capabilities and crisis management abilities of businesses and society, promote related industries, and contribute to the formation of a safer society, in cooperation with the Nankai Trough Earthquake Countermeasure Chubu Region Strategy Conference. At our booth, we plan to display actual NMG generators and controllers. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

[Speaker] Hajime Hiraki, CEO of Chemistry Cube Co., Ltd., Innovation Consultant [Key Lecture Content] Until now, in many companies, managers who operate and manage organizations and specialists in specific technical fields have been established as the career paths for engineers and researchers. However, as uncertainty increases, there is a growing demand for value creation capabilities that anticipate societal challenges and customer needs and generate innovation. In this context, the importance of a new career path, "Technical Leader," distinct from traditional managers and specialists, is on the rise. In this lecture, we will focus on the "Technical Leader," who plays a central role in value creation centered on technology, and explain their role, the required abilities, and the approach to their development, using case studies. [Lecture Items] 1. The Era of Technical Leaders 2. What is a Technical Leader? 3. Practicing Technical Leadership - Management Techniques for Technical Leaders 4. Development of Technical Leaders 5.
