The need for companies to increase specimen throughput to maximize efficiency and revenue while maintaining high quality standards and safe operating conditions has created a demand for increased speed, reliability and accuracy in their material testing routines. The AutoX750 (catalog no. 2665-750) is an automated long travel extensometer that fulfills this demand with sub-micron precision. With the benefit of automated gauge length positioning and attachment to the test specimen, operators enjoy a safer and simplified test routine. Companies gain faster cycle times and eliminate variability of critical test results brought upon by manual, time-consuming steps of traditional clip-on extensometers. Principle of Operation The AutoX750 integrates with Instron's 3360, 3380, 3400, 5500, 5960, 5980, and 6800 Series electromechanical test systems, as well as LX, DX, HDX, and KPX static hydraulic testing systems, and is controlled with Bluehill® Universal testing software via USB interface. The software provides an easy-to-use test sequence and setup that facilitates the automated gauge length, reference arm position and opening and closing of the arms before and after testing. The counterbalanced measuring arms are virtually weightless, thus removing any influence on the material properties under test. The measuring arms are motor driven and will automatically position themselves to the correct position and gauge length every time.
