Trusted IEC Science and Physics Equipment from Wiltronics

Trusted IEC Science and Physics Equipment from Wiltronics

IEC instruments continue to be a staple in schools, labs, and universities — Wiltronics supports your practical science needs.

For over 50 years, IEC (Industrial Equipment & Control Pty Ltd) has been a cornerstone of science education in Australia. Known for durable, Australian-made laboratory instruments, IEC products are widely used in physics, chemistry and general science classrooms.

At Wiltronics, we are proud to supply a wide range of IEC equipment — from ripple tanks and stroboscopes to power supplies, timers, Van de Graaff generators and more — ensuring teachers have reliable tools to deliver meaningful, hands-on STEM learning.

Why Choose IEC for Science Teaching?

IEC has earned its reputation by producing robust, long-lasting laboratory equipment specifically designed for schools. Many teachers remark that IEC devices can last decades with only minimal maintenance — making them excellent value for resource-conscious departments.

Key benefits include:

• Australian designed & manufactured – supporting local industry and quality standards

• Built for classrooms – strong construction, simple interfaces and repairable parts

• Ideal for STEM – supports physics, electrical circuits, waves, energy, light, heat and more

• Consistent accuracy – reliable readings and stable output for experiments

• Wide range – mechanics, electricity, waves, optics, heat, energy and electrostatics

Wiltronics stocks many flagship IEC items, giving educators access to trusted equipment that can withstand years of student use.

Popular Classroom Applications

Physics Experiments

IEC devices are used extensively in physics lessons for:

• Electricity and circuits

• Wave behaviour and interference

• Motion, force and energy studies

• Electrostatics demonstrations

• Light, optics and lenses

The sturdy construction ensures that even complex demonstrations (ripples, induction, charging, etc.) can be performed safely and repeatedly.

Senior Secondary & University Labs

Advanced IEC equipment — such as power supplies, precision timers and optical benches — support deeper investigations and assessment tasks in Years 11–12 and tertiary courses.

Demonstration & Whole-Class Teaching

Equipment like stroboscopes, Van de Graaff generators and ripple tanks allow teachers to demonstrate abstract concepts visually and dynamically.
