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.
