Grips ensure repeatability of test results
Ideally suited for the metals, plastics and composites industries, Instron's line of grips includes wedge grips, axial/torsional hydraulic grips, and fatigue-rated hydraulic wedge grips.
Benchtop materials testing on a budget
Designed to test tensile, compression and flexural properties of rubber, plastic, wire, metals and fasteners, the 3300 series is a cost-effective benchtop mechanical tester.
Instron replaces conventional deadweights with its unique closed-loop control system, making the Series 2100 a more stable and repeatable microindentation/Vickers tester.
This system places a load cell between the indenter and the drive mechanism to form an error-free, precision test axis that eliminates test result errors caused by friction.
The use of load cells versus deadweights ensures against force errors resulting over time from friction and wear.
Resistance sensing circuitry eliminates accidental load cell and indenter damage.
The Series 2100 can handle load ranges from 50g to 30kg.
Instron's exclusive automatic turret design gives added testing flexibility and increased power to the Tukon.
This special design provides five positions allowing for two load cell indenter combinations and three measuring objectives.
In addition, Instron's Tukon increases productivity and lowers operator fatigue with dedicated keys for repetitive functions such as: exclude test, clear stats, auto print and print report.
In addition, Instron provides a full two-year warranty on the Tukon.
