The Instron Connect Portal, included with your Instron Connect agreement, allows you to raise support requests with Instron.

The Instron Connect software, a feature included in your Instron Connect agreement, allows the Instron technical support team to connect directly to your Instron systems through remote screenshare.

The Instron Connect software, a feature included in your Instron Connect agreement, allows you to download Bluehill Universal updates directly from your Instron system’s operator dashboard or PC.

The Instron Connect software, which is a feature included within your Instron Connect agreement, allows you to receive reminders when your Instron system’s calibrations or service agreement is due to expire.

Instron’s 6800 Series high-force testing systems are built to handle the most demanding testing applications. These systems are built with durable work surfaces, fortified against shock and vibration, and designed to reduce ingress from composite shards, rebar scale, and other debris — ensuring performance in some of the most demanding laboratory environments. Internal electrical and mechanical hardware have been isolated from the test area, while an abrasion-resistant coating is applied to the 12mm metal work surface for increased durability. Instron’s 6800 Series high-force testing systems are built to perform and built to last.

Instron’s CT6 can be configured as an automated solution for the required testing of syringes. Break loose and glide force testing constitutes the bulk of syringe testing and is used to determine the real-world forces required to operate the syringe. Cobots can be placed separately or in-lined to improve throughput and efficiency in both of these applications.

In this webinar, we cover tips and best practices around strain and force transducers for universal testing machines. Our discussion includes a look at settings in Bluehill® Universal software as well as an overview of relevant hardware properties. We review a range of topics, including differences between various displacement measurements and how they’re treated in Bluehill, what a composite strain measurement is, how to set up a transverse strain extensometer, the importance of pretest limits, accuracy ranges for load cells and extensometers, when to change data acquisition rates, and more.

Instron’s CT6 offers the benefits of automation without the additional complexity of a fully automated testing system.

Instron's® CT6 automation platform can be integrated onto torsion-capable systems, increasing the range of applications. In the pharmaceutical industry, many container closures utilize threaded connections for preventing accidental separation. This system is evaluating the unscrewing torque for luer tip caps, defined by ISO 11040-4 Annex G.5. Introducing automation removes operator influence from misalignment and reduces the burden for the operator to load and unload the entire sample, allowing them to dedicate their time to more important tasks.
