Multi-Station Test Frame
6800
-
The 6800 Series Multi-Station System offers enhanced throughput with its ability to perform simultaneous, independent tests on up to five (5) separate specimens using a single load frame. Based on our standard 68TM-30 testing frame (30 kN capacity)*, this system is especially suitable when test times are lengthened due to high elongation or slow test speeds.

Product
Universal Testing Systems
-
Instron universal testing systems are versatile, high-accuracy platforms (available in electromechanical and hydraulic variants) designed to perform a wide range of static mechanical tests, such as tension, compression, bend, peel, shear, puncture, and more, on virtually any material. They support force capacities from fractions of a newton up to thousands of kilonewtons, with precision load measurement, high data acquisition rates, and compatibility with thousands of accessories, including a wide range of extensometers, grips, fixturing, and automation solutions to meet demanding quality and throughput standards.

Product
High-Temperature Extensometers < 1000°C Capacitive
2632 Series
-
Is typically used in hot tensile applications with tube type furnaces and consist of a separate measuring unit and suspension arm assembly. The measuring unit uses an LVDT with a fixed travel that remains outside of the furnace, the arms are located mostly inside of the heating system and attach the specimen to the measuring unit.

Product
6-Axis Robotic Automated Testing System
AT6
-
The Instron AT6 is a flexible, robot-assisted testing solution featuring six axes of motion, purpose-built to automate tensile, compression, flexural, and lap shear testing in alignment with widely used ASTM and ISO standards. Its modular design accommodates a broad array of materials—including metals, polymers, elastomers, films, composites, and sutures—at force capacities up to 600 kN. Capable of processing up to 500 specimens without operator intervention, the AT6 enables true unattended or “lights-out” operation, significantly increasing throughput around the clock. Optional modules include stations for specimen measurement, automated strain measurement, environmental temperature chambers, and multiple test frames for simultaneous testing. The system also integrates smoothly with auxiliary devices such as durometers, hardness testers, and surface roughness testers, making it a robust solution for high-volume, high-efficiency testing environments.
