MODELS 68FM-100 | 100 kN Force Capacity 68FM-300 | 300 kN Force Capacity FEATURES The 6800 floor model series is available in multiple height and width options. Powered by Bluehill Universal, the 6800 series are designed to eliminate obstacles to testing speed, ease, and accuracy. • Built to Perform: The frame has been fortified against shock and vibration which allows for continuous testing at the maximum rated frame capacity, and the maintenance-free brushless AC servomotors support continuous cyclic, creep, and relaxation testing for up to 10 days. • Built to Last: Reduction in debris ingress has been achieved through gasketing and a patent-pending airflow design. Internal electrical and mechanical hardware is located safely away from the test area. The 12 mm metal work surface is treated with an abrasion-resistant coating for durability. • Ergonomic Design: The tall base option provides an ergonomically comfortable testing station, and the contoured design allows the operator easy access to the testing space and the all-new ergonomic handset, which offers customizable soft keys, specimen protect, and a fine position adjustment wheel. • User Safety Enhancements: Patent-pending Operator Protect architecture keeps operators safer by controlling system status and speeds throughout setup and testing via intelligent workflows.
