Instron 3400, 6800 Series Universal Testing Systems
Instron announced the capacity expansion of the 3400 and 6800 Series universal testing systems. The all-new 3400 and 6800 Series high-force universal testing systems are successors to Instron’s popular 3300 and 5900 Series systems and are now available in force capacities ranging up to 300 kN. With the higher capacities come a host of new features focused on durability, ergonomics, and simplifying mechanical testing.
Instron’s 3400 and 6800 Series provide a new dimension of performance and durability. Reduction in debris ingress has been achieved through gasketing and a patent-pending airflow design. The frames have been fortified against shock and vibration, allowing for continuous testing at the maximum rated frame capacity. Additional design steps were taken to locate internal electrical and mechanical hardware safely away from the test area, while an abrasion-resistant coating is applied to the 12mm metal work surface for durability.
