INSTRON 68FM-100

INSTRON 68FM-100

The 68FM-100 is a floor model of the 6800 Series for testing high-strength alloys and composites up to 100 kN. The rugged, high axial stiffness frame gives accurate modulus and strain values, and extra height, extra width and tall base options are available.

Key features

- Auto Positioning for an identical starting position in every test
- Specimen Protect: prevents excessive force on the specimen during setup
- Data acquisition up to 5000 Hz, accuracy ±0.5 % of reading down to 1/1000 of load cell capacity
- Compatible with AVE 3, the torsion add-on and automation
- Bluehill Universal software
