INSTRON 68TM-50

INSTRON 68TM-50

The 68TM-50 is a dual-column table-top model of the 6800 Series for tensile, compression and flexure tests up to 50 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
