INSTRON 68SC-05

INSTRON 68SC-05

The 68SC-05 is a single-column table-top model of the 6800 Series for tensile, compression, flexure, peel, puncture and friction tests up to 0.5 kN. The compact frame suits laboratories with limited space and is available in standard and extra-height versions.

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
