Specimen Protection
Specimen Protection is a feature of Instron's 6800 Series and 5900 Series universal testing systems that limits the maximum force applied to the test specimen.
When Specimen Protection is enabled, the actuator or crosshead moves automatically to ensure the force on the test article remains within the pre-set boundaries. Specimen protection is often used to protect specimens or components during test setup, prior to the setting of operational limits.
