6-Axis Robotic Automated Testing System
The Instron AT6 Automated Testing System utilizes an innovative design for the automatic tensile and/or flexural testing of metals, plastics, thin films, components, elastomers, sutures, and composites. Conforming to ISO and ASTM standards for a wide range of materials, this system has a flexible platform to deliver high throughput with repeatable results for a variety of testing needs.
Configurations can include:
Hydraulic Grips
Pneumatic Grips
The AT6 Automated Testing System is capable of performing automated tension, compression, and flexural tests on rigid plastics, elastomers, metals, composites, thin films, and biomedical applications.
The AT6 Automated Testing System is fully isolated within a safety enclosure, removing the operator from the testing area and thus from potential pinch hazards and repetitive motions typically involved in high volume manual testing.
Decrease in Repetitive
Motion Injuries
Elimination of Potential
Pinch Hazards
Safe, Hands-Free
Removal of Debris
Robotic Arm
The Mitsubishi robot can perform a variety of tasks unattended, allowing the operator to focus on skilled work.
Specimen Removal
An enhanced specimen removal device can increase throughput by removing a tested specimen while the next specimen is being prepared by the robotic arm.
Dual Frame Setup
A single robot can supply up to two tensile testing frames simultaneously for increased throughput.
ACCURACY AND CONSISTENCY
Eliminating Variability in the Testing Process
Automatic
Specimen Measurement
The AT6 can be programmed to measure each specimen before testing with the dual axis specimen measurement device.
Automated
Specimen Marking
Automated specimen marking allows accurate tracking by video extensometer.
Programmed
Technology
Every move is programmed to replicate the same actions for each specimen, improving repeatability and reproducibility of testing and results.
