SAFER
Safety Without Sacrificing Throughput




Operator Protect

The 3400 Series is built on Instron’s patented Operator Protect architecture. An intelligent workflow keeps equipment and operators safer by controlling system status from setup to test completion.
 

Safety Coaching


Built-In Safety Coaching

The 3400 system provides clear direction to users about when it is safe to enter the test space and when they should stay clear of it.
 
 
 

Smart-Close Air Kit


Smart-Close Air Kit

Finger pinch hazards from pneumatic grips are reduced through lower grip-closing pressure and restricted speed during the set up phase of your test.
 
 
 





Single Column 3400 Series




Operator Panel


All-New Operator Panel

The 3400 Series brings system controls closer than ever before with the all-new operator panel.
Improve ergonomics and throughput by starting and stopping tests, jogging the crosshead,
and returning to the starting position directly from the instrument.



1

Variable Speed Jog

During set up mode, your system will default to a safe speed appropriate for an operator to work in the test space.
 
 


2

Status at a Glance

Monitor the system status with indicator lights and corresponding Safety Coaching messages in Bluehill Universal.
 
 


3

Virtual Interlock

With Instron’s patent-pending system architecture, the machine’s movement is restricted to prevent unintended motion of the crosshead.

Protecting Your Investment




3400 Series Internal Components




Collision Mitigation

Reduce damage to equipment and delicate specimens by stopping the crosshead if force is detected upon return or during a jog.

Load Cell Overload Protection

The 3400 Series systems automatically stop when the load cell reaches maximum capacity to prevent damage to the load cell, system, and accessories.

Built to Last

Powered by maintenance-free brushless AC servomotors, the 3400 Series is designed for longevity. All Instron electromechanical systems are equipped with guidance columns in addition to preloaded ballscrews for increased robustness.
