ELECTROMECHANICAL TESTING SYSTEMS

6800 Series Systems

Instron® electromechanical universal testing machines perform tensile, compression, bend, peel, tear, and other mechanical tests on materials and products to ASTM, ISO, and other industry standards. These systems are available in a range of sizes and maximum force capacities. From small, low-force systems to test microelectronics, biomaterials, and films in the biomedical and electronics industries to large, high-force systems to test metals and composites in the automotive and aerospace industries, Instron has systems suitable for all applications. With over 50,000 systems installed worldwide, businesses and universities involved in quality control and research & development have relied on Instron systems to perform groundbreaking research, develop innovative new materials, and ensure best-in-class manufacturing processes.

The 6800 Series universal testing instruments offer exceptional performance and are designed with enhancements that deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability, improved ergonomics, and an enhanced overall experience for the operator. New industry leading features include load measurement accuracy to +/-0.5% of reading down to 1/1000 of load cell capacity and fast, synchronized data acquisition rates up to 5 kHz. The most common uses of these mechanical testing systems are for tensile, compression, bend, peel, shear, tear and cyclic tests. Configured systems are fully capable of meeting test requirements per ASTM, ISO, DIN, TAPPI, GB, JIS, ANSI, NAS, etc.

Frame types include the 6800 single column tabletop for low-force testing up to 5 kN; the 68TM dual column table models for mid-range testing up to 50 kN; and the 68FM floor model systems for heavy- duty, robust testing up to 300 kN; for electromechanical testing up to 600 Kn, 5980 heavyweights are still available. The 6800 Series universal testing systems are powered by Instron’s Bluehill Universal software. Equipped with easy-to-understand icons and workflows, Bluehill Universal makes it simple to train users and set up tests, helping you maximize lab efficiency while minimizing costly errors.

The 6800 Series is built on Instron’s patent-pending Operator Protect architecture. An intelligent workflow keeps equipment and operators safer by controlling system status and speed from setup to test completion.
