Automated XY Testing System

Product catalog summary
Overview
Instron's Automated AT2 XY stage is designed for automated testing of devices or components, particularly suited for medical devices, syringes, small electronics, keypads, and pharmaceutical pills. It facilitates compression, tension, and flexure testing with multiple and repetitive test points.
Key Features
  • Increased Throughput: The system tests multiple specimens without operator intervention, reducing overall test time and accelerating data availability for product development and production.
  • Better Use of Skilled Labor: Operators can focus on other tasks while the system runs unattended, improving efficiency.
  • Increased Repeatability: Automated systems minimize operator influence, ensuring consistent and repeatable results, beneficial for organizations with multiple operators and labs.
  • Improved Safety & Ergonomics: Reduces repetitive motion and physical interaction, minimizing operator injuries.
Data and Integration
  • Graphs and Results: Real-time data display, commonly showing force vs. displacement or stress vs. strain. Configurable results tables include critical test information.
  • Live Displays: Unlimited configuration to view current X and Y coordinates, force, displacement, time, and results during tests.
  • Bluehill Universal Integration: Allows grouping of specimens by shared traits for easy comparison.
  • Sequence Builder: Enables creation of test sequences for multiple specimens or test points, with options for basic grid, button sequences, and custom sequences.
Specifications
  • Maximum Stage Load Capacity: 2 kN (450 lbs)
  • XY Stage Travel Options: Option 1: 300 × 150 mm (11.8 × 5.9 in), Option 2: 150 × 150 mm (5.9 × 5.9 in)
  • Stage Speed: 25 mm/sec (1 in/sec)
  • Stage Position Accuracy: Option 1: ±60 μm (±0.002 in), Option 2: ±40 μm (±0.0016 in)
  • Stage Position Repeatability: ±5 μm (±0.0002 in)
  • Electrical Requirements: Single Phase, 47/63 Hz, 120 or 220 VAC
  • Operating Temperature: +10 to 38°C (+50 to 100°F)
Compatibility
The XY stage is compatible with Instron's 6800 and 5900 systems and can be easily mounted to new or existing systems.

Automated XY Testing System-1

AUTOMATED XY TESTING SYSTEM Instron® AT2 XY Stage Instron’s Automated AT2 XY stage is designed for automated compression, tension, and flexure testing of devices or components with multiple and repetitive test points or locations. These systems are ideally suited for testing medical devices, syringes, small electronics, keypads, and pharmaceutical pills. INCREASED THROUGHPUT INCREASED REPEATABILITY An automated testing system tests multiple specimens without operator intervention. This reduces the overall test time for a sample, allowing data used for product development and production to be provided more quickly. Automated systems reduce operator influence over test results, allowing more consistent and repeatable results. This is especially helpful for organizations using multiple operators in multiple labs. BETTER USE OF SKILLED LABOR IMPROVED SAFETY & ERGONOMICS An automated testing system runs unattended, generating results while skilled operators improve their efficiency by focusing on other important tasks. Automated testing minimizes repetitive motion and reduces the amount of physical interaction with the testing system, reducing operator injuries. 01
