Some of the special test machines we make are shown below. Please feel free to contact us if you have a need for anything not mentioned here.
| Non axial load test machine (technical specifications) |
 |
Various non-axial forces which act on the spring which may cause mis-operation, premature failure and hysteresis. Such forces include the twisting moment, shear force and tilting moment.
You can now measure all these forces accurately using IST's design expertise and sophisticated measurement technology. |
| FRACMAT wire test machine (technical specifications) |
 |
Until now, if you manufacture or use wire, you will have been faced with the inevitable problem of being unable to identify inconsistencies in the forming performance of your wire before it is used. Even the tiniest inconsistencies can lead to forming problems and, hence, affect the quality of the end product.
IST has developed award-winning technology especially to solve this problem.
The FRACMAT test system allows you to assess the forming performance of your spring wire before you use it. The test is simple and highly effective, making a significant contribution to improved quality and throughput.

| Automatic prestressing machine (technical specifications) |
 |
Prestressing your springs before you despatch them to your customers will enable you to design the springs to meet higher stresses, and will increase the load bearing capacity within the available design space envelope.
Prestressed springs are lighter and have improved fatigue performance compared with un-prestressed springs.
IST's automatic prestressing machines efficiently perform the prestressing operation for compression springs. They are specially designed and robustly built to a very high specification to give years of trouble-free service.

| Anti-roll bar fatigue test machine (technical specifications) |
 |
Automotive anti-roll bars must be reliable and perform to a very high standard. You therefore need to have the utmost confidence in the predicted performance of your components. All of the processes involved in manufacturing your anti-roll bars can be monitored, but you can only really be sure of the performance of your component by testing the final product.
IST's anti-roll bar fatigue testing machine is used for the sample testing of production batches to test the end result of your design, manufacturing and quality control processes. It can also be used to predict the performance of any new developments e.g. design changes or manufacturing changes.
Specially designed and robustly built at IST, these machines efficiently perform the fatigue testing of anti-roll bars. They are easy to set up and use and their high build specification means you will get years of excellent service and reliability.
