(Free) Instron WEB Seminar Series: Do you know the term component testing? ~ With Instron, you can test even large finished parts.

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.

Measuring the residual strength of composite laminates after damage! Introducing the CAI test procedure!

The "Post-Impact Compression (CAI) Test" is a two-step test developed to evaluate the potential damage of composite laminate materials using test specimens. In the first step, a drop-weight impact testing machine is used to apply visible impact damage (BVID) to the test specimen. In the second step, a static universal material testing machine is used to conduct a compression test on the damaged specimen, measuring the residual strength of the composite laminate after sustaining impact damage. Instron's "drop-weight impact testing machine" is used for the development, fine-tuning, and verification of various material models. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries. 【Features】 ■ Impact energy from 2J to 70J (and beyond) ■ Minimum mass: 1kg (specimen thickness: 4.0mm or less) ■ Safety enclosure to prevent carbon fiber dispersion ■ Specimens can be adjusted from -70°C to +300°C ■ Pneumatic double-strike prevention mechanism to prevent multiple impacts on the specimen *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will be exhibiting at "CEATEC 2026," which will be held at Makuhari Messe from October 13 to 16. We provide information technology and process informatics (PI) that optimize "how to create" using physical simulations, AI, and machine learning in process development. We look forward to your visit to our booth. 【Seminar Information】 "Process Informatics for Exploring Optimal Manufacturing Conditions" Date and Time: October 16, 2026 (Friday) 12:45 - 13:00 Venue: Makuhari Messe Exhibition Hall 4 P Stage Speaker: CEO Takaishi Please check the link below for details on our exhibition.

In recent years, weather risks that affect construction sites, such as localized heavy rain, strong winds, and extreme heat, have been increasing. In response to this situation, more companies are implementing weather information services at the company or branch level to manage weather risks across multiple sites collectively. On the other hand, is there a challenge where "the company checks weather information, but it is not used much on-site"? To implement weather measures across the entire company, it is important not only for managers to easily grasp multiple sites but also for the personnel working on-site to be able to easily check the information necessary for their specific site. We are releasing a new feature called "Field View." For more details, please visit our website.

～A high-efficiency customer attraction strategy where homebuyers come in saying "I saw it on ○○!" and a product/design strategy that is specifically requested with "I want to build with Harbor!"～ In an era where simply building a "good house" is not enough to survive, the environment surrounding local construction companies is becoming increasingly harsh due to rising material costs, labor shortages, and intensified competition with major companies. In this context, Harbor House, which has been established for 19 years in the competitive region of Niigata Prefecture, has achieved an annual completion of 450 houses and is now ranked No. 1 in the number of construction starts in Niigata Prefecture. Its strength lies not in a single charismatic leader, but in a thoroughly refined "system." Customers who say, "I came after seeing your website" are reliably guided to contracts through a high-efficiency sales flow based on "batting average management." In this online seminar, we will generously share the know-how of customer attraction, product, and management that Harbor House practices with business owners. We will present the shortest route to becoming a "construction company that continues to be chosen" in your business area. ◇Detailed information and application https://x.gd/pUe2b ◇Phone inquiries TEL: 025-383-8881
