Universal testing machine 68TM Series

tensilecompressionquality

The 6800 Series universal testing machines are designed to perform tensile, compression, flex, peel, puncture, friction, shear tests, and more. The systems are compatible with hundreds of grips and fixtures found in Instron’s expansive accessories catalog, with specific configurations designed to perform many of the most popular ASTM and ISO tests. The 6800 table model series provides up to 50 kN capacity available in standard and extra height options. Powered by Bluehill Universal, the 6800 Series systems are simple, smarter, and safer than ever before, featuring: • Auto Positioning: Saves the correct fixture separation starting location for each test method. This ensures all operators run each test exactly the same way across all shifts every day. • Operator Protect: Instron’s patent-pending Operator Protect architecture. An intelligent workflow keeps equipment and operators safer by controlling system status from setup to test completion. • Safety Coaching: Clear visual feedback regarding system status at all times. Users will easily understand when the system is in a safe setup mode, and clearly reminded to exit the test space once these safety limits are removed. • Smart-Close Air Kit (optional): Finger pinch hazards from pneumatic grips are reduced through lower grip-closing pressure and restricted speed during the setup phase of your test. • Collision Mitigation: Reduce damage to equipment and delicate specimens by stopping the crosshead if force is detected upon return or during a jog. • An all-new ergonomic handset mounted directly into the base of frame with customizable Soft Keys, Specimen Protect, and Fine Position adjustment wheel.
