RS LabSite® modulogic
-
RS LabSite® modulogic is a comprehensive and adaptable software suite conceived for introducing service loads into individual components or complete vehicles, or performing calculations within the framework of Virtual Prototyping (standardized loadsequences, virtual generation of load data). This enables you to stay in full control of all tasks that follow the acquisition of measurement data in the proving ground.

Static Axial Clip-On Extensionmeters
2630-100 Series
-
The Instron static axial clip-on extensometer delivers precise strain measurement for static tests by quickly clipping to specimens (metals, plastics, composites) with minimal attachment force. Its rugged cross-brace design resists distortion, includes built-in over-extension protection, and meets ASTM E83 / ISO 9513 standards — making it a reliable, high-accuracy option for general and temperature-controlled testing.

Multi-Station Test Frame
6800
-
The 6800 Series Multi-Station System offers enhanced throughput with its ability to perform simultaneous, independent tests on up to five (5) separate specimens using a single load frame. Based on our standard 68TM-30 testing frame (30 kN capacity)*, this system is especially suitable when test times are lengthened due to high elongation or slow test speeds.

Curved Needle Test Systems
-
Instron’s Curved Needle Testing System is designed for evaluating surgical and wound closure needles through two specialized testing methods: curved needle puncture testing (per ASTM F3014) and cantilever bend testing. These fixtures assess key performance attributes such as sharpness, coating integrity, and flexural strength. Compact and efficient, the tabletop system conserves bench space while delivering robust functionality. Powered by Bluehill® Universal software, it offers comprehensive control over test execution, data collection, and reporting, along with access to a wide range of built-in calculations.

Capillary Rheometers
-
Plastics are amazing materials with the unique ability to flow when heated to relatively low temperatures. They can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and tailored for many different applications. However, their flow properties during this process are complex and affected by many parameters. Instron® provides comprehensive and effective testing solutions in plastics applications and industries through the CEAST SmartRHEO Series. This capillary rheometer simulates the process conditions, measuring the plastic materials flow behavior that characterizes the rheology of materials.
