This video demonstrates the Instron AT2 Automated XY Stage configured with a 3D measurement sensor used for pre-test specimen measurement of plastic extrudates.

The 6800 Series Multi-Station System offers enhanced throughput with its ability to perform simultaneous, independent tests on up to five separate specimens using a single load frame.

Designed for precision and repeatability, the AT6 system automates the entire testing workflow, from specimen measurement to data collection.

This video explores the key aspects of tensile testing for thin films using the ASTM D882 and ISO 527‑3 standards, highlighting why these methods are essential for accurately measuring the tensile properties of delicate materials such as plastic films and other thin specimens. It covers the importance of precise specimen dimensioning, recommended specimen sizes and measurement techniques, best practices for gripping and alignment, the use of extensometers—including Instron’s AVE Advanced Video Extensometer—and the key test results associated with both ASTM D882 and ISO 527‑3.

Learn how to easily use Bluehill Central TrendTracker to monitor trends, identify shifts, and make informed decisions about your materials and processes.

The AT6 is designed for automated, high-throughput mechanical testing and is capable of operating under controlled temperature conditions to evaluate material performance.

Instron's AVE3 non-contacting video extensometer offers precision strain measurement for tensile, compression, and bend testing to the most stringent standards.
