Instron

The Instron Automated Testing Systems for Metals are configured to perform unattended tensile testing of metallic specimens of varying lengths and thicknesses. These systems have been designed to meet ASTM E8, EN 10002-1, ISO 6892 and other metals tensile standards, including JIS and DIN and can be easily configured to meet other requirements. Barcodes are utilized to pass specimen geometry, handling and testing information to the TestMaster2 automation control software. Bi-axial, Advanced Video Extensometry allows for r and n-value testing.

To satisfy the majority of our customer's testing requirements, Instron has developed 100 kN and 250 kN capacity standard automation system configurations, other capacities can be quoted upon request.
