Environmental Chambers for Non-Ambient Materials Testing: 3119-600 Series
Instron's 3119-600 Series environmental chambers provide extensive temperature testing capabilities for evaluating material properties under non-ambient conditions. Compatible with both static and dynamic testing machines, environmental chambers are available in a wide range of standard dimensions and can be fixed to the machine or mounted on roller brackets. They can also be fitted to other makes of testing machines with custom mountings, if needed. In addition, Instron can tailor complete solutions, including load string components, if the requirements for your application fall outside of the specifications of our standard chambers, grips, and fixtures.
Bluehill 1, 2, and Lite: Your Software's Next Steps
Are testing systems in your lab still running on Bluehill 1, Bluehill 2, or even Bluehill Lite? Watch this webinar to learn about the status of these software systems, what this status means for your lab, and what migration to the latest software, Bluehill Universal, would look like.
Do You Have an Instron Connect Agreement?
Instron Connect agreements offer fast, effective, and secure tools that enable us to provide premium support for your Instron testing system. Without an Instron Connect agreement, you may experience longer repair times and require on-site support, resulting in costly delays to your testing.
AT3 Automated Testing System: Configured for Thin Film Testing
The Instron® AT3 Automated Testing System uses an innovative and adaptable design for testing materials such as rigid plastics, elastomers, rubber, thin film, foam, and metals. In this video, the AT3 is testing separator film for electric vehicle batteries. Normal tensile testing of films can prove challenging, but the versatile AT3 makes it easy, improving repeatability, safety, and efficiency by automating everything from measurement to specimen handling and removal. With a smaller footprint than the AT6 robotic system, the AT3 provides a simple and compact solution while still maintaining high throughput and accuracy.
