The 8805 is a 4-column, 1000 kN servohydraulic fatigue testing machine. It features a high-stiffness and precision-aligned load frame, with hydraulic lifts and locks, and an actuator in the upper crosshead.
The precision mechanical systems, combined with the advanced features of the 8800 digital controller and Dynacell™ load cells, enable Instron® to supply fully-integrated turnkey solutions to meet the most demanding applications. The system can be used to cover a broad range of static and dynamic test applications, covering metals, rebar, high-force fracture mechanics, aerospace panels, civil engineering components, wire ropes, or concrete.
From a computer interface, Console software provides full system control, including waveform generation, calibration, limit set up, and status monitoring. Add WaveMatrix™ block loading software for simple and advanced cyclic tests on materials or components, or Bluehill® software for static tests.
