(Free) Instron Web Seminar Series: Not Just Punching Tests. New Applications of the Drop Weight Impact Tester - 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 for customers at the forefront of high-quality advanced materials development, particularly laboratories engaged in the development of high-strength and lightweight products, to provide faster results, fewer errors, and lower costs associated with training. The 9400 series drop weight impact testers comply with all major impact testing standards ranging from 0.3J to 1800J. They feature simple operating procedures, pre-set 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.*

• Non-destructive testing

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 testing. As the use of thermoplastics, composite materials, and metal alloys increases as high-performance materials for lightweighting in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications, the need to streamline the product development process and confirm the consistency between simulation 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 state *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

On that day, we will provide detailed explanations of the following disaster prevention products using models, panels, and various materials. ◆Exhibited Products◆ - Pile-type debris flow and driftwood countermeasures for non-flowing streams / Urban Guard (model display) Additionally, our representative will conduct a technical presentation, so we kindly invite you to attend.

Protech Engineering (Booth Number: 240) will be exhibiting at the "Hokkaido Construction Development Comprehensive Exhibition 2025," scheduled to be held on October 8 (Wednesday) and 9 (Thursday), 2025. On the day of the event, we will provide detailed explanations of the following disaster prevention products using models, panels, and various materials. ◆ Main Exhibited Products ◆ - Energy-absorbing rockfall protection fence / ARC Fence (model display) - Landslide debris protection fence / Slope Guard Fence Type LE (model display) - Pile-type (pile foundation) debris flow and driftwood countermeasure for non-flowing streams / Urban Guard - Avalanche prevention piles / Tri-Pile - Avalanche protection fence / Slope Guard Fence Type LS - High energy-absorbing rockfall protection fence / Macro Fence In addition, we will have a variety of materials on disaster prevention products developed independently by Protech Engineering, so we kindly invite you to visit our booth.

Profect Co., Ltd. will hold a seminar on October 3rd (Friday) themed around the IT Implementation Subsidy 2025 and our developed and sold production management system "TED." This year's IT Implementation Subsidy has seen a significant decrease in the acceptance rate compared to previous years. Many companies are struggling with the situation of having wanted to implement IT tools but being rejected. In this seminar, we will explain why the acceptance rate has dropped, the background behind it, and the key points for being accepted. Additionally, we will introduce our initiatives that have achieved a 100% acceptance rate so far this year and the reasons why our production management system "TED," registered as an IT tool, is chosen. To accommodate busy schedules, this seminar will be held in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person attendance and online participation via Zoom. Please choose your preferred method of participation according to your convenience. If you are currently considering applying for the IT Implementation Subsidy or are interested in production management, we encourage you to join us. We sincerely look forward to your application.

An international forum aimed at promoting the circular economy and closed-loop economy, "Closed Loop Recycle Forum 2025 (hereinafter referred to as CLRF2025)," will be held for two days from November 25 (Tuesday) to 26 (Wednesday) at The Oriental Terrace in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. In Europe, closed-loop recycling practices are already advancing. We have organized this international forum as a platform to connect the forefront of Europe with Japan's challenges, striving for a future that balances economic viability and environmental sustainability. A total of 12 speakers, including Chairman Kajiwara of the Waste and 3R Research Foundation and Director Kaneko of the Ministry of the Environment's Container and Packaging Recycling Division, along with leading recycling operators and researchers from Japan and Europe, will present advanced examples of the circular economy and closed-loop economy. Furthermore, through discussions on the feasibility and challenges of implementation in Japan, we will explore hints for sustainable business models that companies and local governments should aim for.
