Auto Positioning Auto Positioning saves the correct fixture separation starting location for each test method. This ensures all operators run each test from exactly the same place across all shifts every day. TestProfiler Build simple cyclic tests that include ramps, holds, and triangle waves. Conditional logic allows you to create looping patterns that help mimic real-life scenarios within tests. Powered by Bluehill Universal | 13

Advanced Performance and Applications The 6800 Series can be expanded to include digital input/output channels and up to 11 sensor conditioning modules to ensure compatibility with advanced accessories and external devices. When testing on a 6800 Series frame, you can capture synchronized data at a rate of up to 5 kHz with adjustable bandwidth so you never miss a test event. Automated Testing Solutions Automated testing systems built on the 6800 Series enable a new dimension of testing productivity, improve safety, reduce variability, save time, and increase throughput. From XY stages to 6-axis...

The Torsion Add-On easily mounts to any 6800 system to enable biaxial testing of components such as bone screws, Luer locks, electrical knobs, and more. High accuracy automatic contacting extensometer produces reliable and repeatable results with no manual steps.
