AT2 Automated XY Stage: Configured for Plastic Extrudate Crush Testing

This video demonstrates the Instron AT2 Automated XY Stage configured with a 3D measurement sensor used for pre-test specimen measurement of plastic extrudates. This setup enables precise, non-contact dimensional analysis of each sample before mechanical testing begins, ensuring accurate baseline data and improved test consistency.

Instron's AT2 Automated XY Stage can be installed on any new or existing 6800 Series universal testing system to automate compression, tensile, and flexure testing of devices or components with multiple test points, or multiple components with repetitive test points. These systems are widely adopted in the biomedical and electronics industries to test a wide range of materials, devices, and components.
