AVE 2

Non-Contacting Advanced Video Extensometer

In addition to its excellent performance for static testing, the Instron Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE2) is now available with an option for cyclic testing and high-speed monotonic test measurement. Designed to move from system to system with ease, this lightweight non-contacting extensometer can be moved within a laboratory quickly, offering flexibility to scientists, engineers and quality specialists that are seeking to study the dynamic behavior of materials without contacting the specimen

ADVANCED NON-CONTACT SOLUTION

This non-contact extensometer minimizes negative effects of the test environment and operator to prevent premature damage to the specimen which results in the production of data that is inherently more consistent, accurate and repeatable.

ANTI-DIFFRACTION AIRFLOW SYSTEM

Typical laboratory environments are subject to variations in airflow that can introduce errors as high as several microns. Therefore, to maximize test accuracy, the AVE2 uses patented CDAT fans that generate a consistent laminar airflow between the specimen and camera, producing consistent results in free-field spaces even if the air-conditioning is operating during a test.

CROSS-POLARIZED LIGHTING SYSTEM

Different labs have different lighting conditions and as a day progresses, the light levels in the same room will also change and this difference can lead to variations in results for the same type of test. To ensure that the image the AVE2 is viewing is consistent, Instron developed a patented cross-polarized lighting system that is capable of producing repeatable results regardless of the lab light conditions.

FULLY INTEGRATED SOLUTION

Confidently delivering the results needed for many years to come, this solution can also adapt to the changing demands of a lab. Being compatible with a range of environmental chambers, bio-baths, optional lenses and accessories that can be unlocked using our proprietary test software, the potential test applications are almost endless.

REVOLUTIONARY DYNAMIC CAPABILITY FOR A
VARIETY OF CYCLIC AND MONOTONIC TESTS

Offering increased flexibility and usability from more traditional alternatives such as clip-on extensometers and in addition to tensile and compressive testing, the AVE2 also facilitates the measurement and control cyclic strain on a wide range of materials and specimen geometries. A single device in your lab now covers test specimens with multiple gauge lengths and varied elongations.
