INSTRON 68TM-5

INSTRON 68TM-5

The 68TM-5 is a dual-column table-top model of the 6800 Series for tensile, compression and flexure tests up to 5 kN. It provides high frame stiffness and precise alignment and is available in standard and extra-height (on some models also extra-width) 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
