AUTOMATIC CONTACTING EXTENSOMETER AutoX750 The need for increased specimen throughput has created a demand for faster, more reliable and more accurate materials testing routines. The AutoX750 Automatic Contacting Extensometer fulfills this demand and enhances the productivity of your testing laboratories by allowing you to take advantage of automatic gauge length positioning and attachment to the test specimen. By removing these manual, tedious, and time consuming steps, your lab operators will benefit from a simplified testing routine and improved throughput. Reducing the inconsistencies in how a traditional clip-on extensometer is attached greatly improves the repeatability and reproducibility of your critical test results. The AutoX750 is used to determine a variety of calculations including modulus, offset yield, plastic elongation to failure (non-proportional), and r and n values for sheet metals. Its high accuracy and travel make it an ideal extensometer for a variety of your materials including metals, plastics, and composites. It is compatible with 3300, 3400, 5500, 5900, and 6800 electromechanical dual column systems, as well as LX, DX, HDX, and KPX static hydraulic testing systems (Bluehill® required). It can also be used with either fully-automated or manual testing systems. When not in use, the mounting allows you to quickly position the extensometer out of the test area providing a safe storage environment for the device. Removing the AutoX from the test area allows you to easily switch out grips and fixtures without the additional step of uninstalling the device. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Automatic gauge length positioning • Different knife edge options and the ability to adjust the clamping force to accommodate various materials • Very high resolution and accuracy • High travel • Fully integrated with Instron® software • Closed-loop strain control that complies with ISO 6892-1 Method A and ASTM E8 Method B, among other standards • Meets the requirements of ISO 9513, ASTM E83, and ISO 527-1 • Rugged construction allows arms to remain attached to your specimen through failure for most materials APPLICATION RANGE The AutoX750 is automatically controlled through a USB interface and Instron machines with Bluehill Software. You follow an easy-to-use setup dialog that facilitates setting the reference arm position, and setting your gauge length. • Metals tensile testing • Composite tensile testing • Plastics tensile and flexure testing • Elastomer tensile testing • Specimen shapes: strip, round, hexagonal, and flat The measuring arms are motor driven and will automatically move to ensure that the vertical position and gauge length are always correct. Prior to the start of a test, the motor will automatically disengage from the measuring arms, allowing the arms to freely travel with the specimen. Additionally, the measuring arms are counterbalanced and operate on a nearly frictionless linear guidance system, removing any influence on your material’s properties. Note: For large specimens, hydraulic grips that positively hold specimen halves af

AUTOMATIC CONTACTING TRANSVERSE EXTENSOMETER AUTOXBIAX The AutoXBiax – built with the same high accuracy optical measurement system as the AutoX750 - is an automated, high precision measurement device that measures both axial and transverse strain simultaneously. The AutoXBiax is specifically designed to measure the plastic strain ratio (r-value) for steel and exceeds current standards, including ISO 10113, ASTM E517, and JIS Z 2254. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Less Setup, More Testing • Automatic arm-opening eliminates the need to pause your test for transverse extensometer removal • No adjustments...
