The Instron AT3 Automated Testing System utilizes an innovative, adaptable design for testing a variety of materials including: rigid plastics, elastomers, rubber, thin film, foam, and metals. With a smaller footprint than the AT6 robotic system, the AT3 provides a simple and compact solution while still maintaining high throughput and accuracy.

The Lab Management module contains Bluehill Central’s file repository, which is stored on the database server. Connected Instron frames can access the database to run controlled test methods or export results.

Instron MFi Series of melt flow index testers are specifically designed for easy and accurate measuring of Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Volume Rate (MVR) according to Melt Flow Rate testing procedure A, procedure B, procedure C, and procedure D, determined by ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133 standards.

In this video, we explore Active Zone display, a feature of Bluehill® Universal 4.25 and later. An "Active Zone" refers to a dynamic visual display that shows the ongoing test's specific zone within your test workspace.

In this video, we explore the important role of cable management on Instron's 3400 and 6800 Series testing systems. Proper cable management ensures the efficient organization and protection of cables, resulting in improved safety, ease of use, and accurate and dependable test results.

The Instron® Specimen Alignment Device CP135054 features a robust design for use with our Hydraulic Wedge Grips 2743-401, 2742-501, and 2742-601. It ensures consistent alignment of your test specimens, producing repeatable testing and reliable results.

The Instron® AT3 Automated Testing System utilizes an innovative, adaptable design for testing a variety of materials including: rigid plastics, elastomers, rubber, thin film, foam, and metals. In this video, the AT3 is testing elastomer specimens. By incorporating the AutoX750 automatic contacting extensometer, precise strain measurements can be achieved over a 750 mm travel range, making it an ideal extensometer for automated elastomer testing.

In this video, we discuss the importance of regularly cleaning your grips to avoid specimen slippage and ensure accurate test results. Proper cleaning will ensure your grips are free of oil, residue, and debris and will increase frictional contact with your specimens.

In this video, we explore calculation fail icons, a feature of Bluehill Universal 4.42 and later. Calculation status details are now easily accessible to the user in the results table. If a result fails to calculate or a warning is triggered, an information icon appears in the associated cell of the results table, and the user can select the cell to find out why.
