Case Studies: Gaging Technology Helps in Testing Application
Instron's Norwood facility has more than 300 employees who manufacture products and solutions used to evaluate the properties and performance of materials, structures and components.
When a major steelmaker enlisted Instron to design and build a tensile testing application, where steel samples could be measured for thickness and width in an automated fashion, de Lemos-Williams and her colleagues geared up quickly for the demanding application, which involved designing a high precision horizontal specimen measuring device (SMD).
