| Instron, a leading provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, unveils its 3300 series single column testing system. Designed to test tensile, compression and flexural properties of rubber, plastic, wire, metals and fasteners, the 3300 series is a cost-effective mechanical tester. Instron’s 3300 series includes a load frame with integrated control electronics, a load cell, surface mount circuitry and Series IX/s™ Materials Testing Software. Automatic recognition, balancing and calibration of load and strain transducers increases operator productivity and ensures consistent and accurate data. The test system meets or exceeds the measurement accuracy requirements of ASTM, EN, BS, ISO, JIS and other testing standards. A high torque DC servomotor with digital closed-loop position control provides accurate crosshead speed control, rapid acceleration and full speed performance over a wide load range. The system constantly measures speed, position and the test force being applied, ensuring measurement accuracy and repeatability. The testers’ user-friendly design allows for quick set-up and versatility. Instron’s no-clutch drive system increases reliability and improves load/speed performance. Safety features include ball screw covers to ensure longer machine life and operator protection. The 3300 series testers are available in four colors: teal green, cobalt blue, charcoal gray and magenta red. Additional accessories are available, including grips, fixtures, extensometers and chambers. |
