In this video, we discuss the benefits of using the engraved graduated markings on side action grips to aid in the proper alignment of specimens.

Instron's 3119-600 Series environmental chambers provide extensive temperature testing capabilities for evaluating material properties under non-ambient conditions. Compatible with both static and dynamic testing machines, environmental chambers are available in a wide range of standard dimensions and can be fixed to the machine or mounted on roller brackets. They can also be fitted to other makes of testing machines with custom mountings, if needed. In addition, Instron can tailor complete solutions, including load string components, if the requirements for your application fall outside of the specifications of our standard chambers, grips, and fixtures.

Are testing systems in your lab still running on Bluehill 1, Bluehill 2, or even Bluehill Lite? Watch this webinar to learn about the status of these software systems, what this status means for your lab, and what migration to the latest software, Bluehill Universal, would look like.

Instron Connect agreements offer fast, effective, and secure tools that enable us to provide premium support for your Instron testing system. Without an Instron Connect agreement, you may experience longer repair times and require on-site support, resulting in costly delays to your testing.

The Instron® AT3 Automated Testing System uses an innovative and adaptable design for testing materials such as rigid plastics, elastomers, rubber, thin film, foam, and metals. In this video, the AT3 is testing separator film for electric vehicle batteries. Normal tensile testing of films can prove challenging, but the versatile AT3 makes it easy, improving repeatability, safety, and efficiency by automating everything from measurement to specimen handling and removal. 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 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 foil specimens for electric vehicle batteries. Normal tensile testing of foils can prove challenging, but the versatile AT3 makes it easy, improving repeatability, safety, and efficiency by automating everything from measurement to specimen handling and removal. With a smaller footprint than the AT6 robotic system, the AT3 provides a simple and compact solution while still maintaining high throughput and accuracy.

Instron's Industrial Series 3500KPX model boasts a capacity of 3500 kN or 800,000 lbf, making it a versatile and reliable option for high-force material testing. The 3500KPX features a linear guidance system that ensures the precise alignment of the load string throughout the actuator's entire stroke. Additionally, the machine's convenient working height and ergonomic controls provide operators with increased productivity, safety, and comfort.

Are testing systems in your lab still running Bluehill 3 software? Watch this webinar to learn about the latest status of this legacy software, what this means for your lab, and what migration to the latest platform, Bluehill Universal, would look like.

Instron's® 6800 Series floor model, equipped with a dual-furnace configuration, offers an exceptional solution for hot tensile testing to meet ASTM E21 and ISO 6892-2 standards. The ability to temperature soak a secondary load string while the primary test is in progress ensures that you can double throughput and save time. Additionally, the quick-change adapters make it convenient to switch between furnaces when testing is underway. Once a test is complete, simply swing out the furnace with the tested specimen and replace it with an untested one.
