The Institute of Spring Technology (IST) has introduced the latest version of its Spring Calculator Professional (SCP), an extensive software package for spring design and validation.
Already used by hundreds of companies worldwide, SCP has simplified a large portion of spring design and validation, helping to highlight potential problems before a spring is even made.
What makes SCP so unique is the vast range of material and design standards, material performance data, and fatigue life and relaxation predictions. Over seven decades of unparalleled research in the field of springs, and spring technology, is built right into the program – allowing springs to be designed, which are safe and reliable under real world constraints, which makes it, IST says, the smartest spring design software worldwide.
Understanding springs is IST’s business and as an impartial association, and not for profit organisation, it is at the heart of the spring manufacturing industry, dedicated to supporting businesses worldwide. Springs are often critical components and are found in a huge number of products across many sectors including medical, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive and transport.
Until a spring has failed it is never fully understood how vital a role these components play. IST have been helping companies for over 70 years to understand why a spring failed and what steps can be taken to improve its life. In doing so it has built an exceptional reputation for technical know-how, impartiality and professionalism.
