Torsion Add-On for Electromechanical Systems

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Torsion Add-On 3.0 is designed for simultaneous axial and torsional testing of various products and components, enhancing the capabilities of electromechanical universal testing systems. It is particularly useful for industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, consumer products, and packaging, where comprehensive evaluation is necessary.
Features and Benefits:
  • Combines axial and torsional testing in one system, saving lab space.
  • Compatible with new and existing Instron 6800 and 5900 systems.
  • Integrated with the 6800 Series handset for ergonomic operation.
  • Complies with standards like ASTM F543, ISO 11040, and ISO 80369.
  • Performs unlimited rotations and requires minimal operator training.
  • Utilizes Bluehill Universal software, supporting a wide range of calculations and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
  • Supported by Instron's local service and includes IQ/OQ documentation.
Application Range: The Torsion Add-On 3.0 is suitable for testing components across biomedical, electronics, consumer packaging, and automotive industries. It supports various testing applications, including usability testing of pen injectors, low-torque testing of luer connections, and cyclic testing of flexible displays.
Operation: The system integrates with the 6800 handset for safe control, allowing users to easily return to zero rotation or rotate to a specific angle using the Bluehill Universal interface. The handset features a jog button for motor rotation control.
Specifications:
  • Axial Load Capacity: Ranges from 500 N (112 lbf) to 50,000 N (11,240 lbf) depending on the model.
  • Torsion Specifications: Torque capacity of ±20 Nm (±170 lbf-in), with an angular resolution of 0.001° and a maximum rotation speed of 480°/sec.
  • Operating Conditions: Requires single-phase electrical supply (120 or 220 VAC) and operates within a temperature range of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F).
Biaxial Load Cell Capacities: The system offers various biaxial load cell capacities, with axial capacities ranging from 445 N to 25,000 N and torque capacities from 5 Nm to 100 Nm.

Torsion Add-On for Electromechanical Systems-1

TORSION ADD-ON 3.0 For Electromechanical Systems Simple axial-torsion testing is often required for the complete evaluation of many pharmaceutical and surgical products, electronic components, consumer products, and packaging. Across all industries, the development of new products and materials demands stringent standard-based and functional testing with a need for increased capability in testing equipment. Some of these standards, such as ISO 80369 for luer connectors, include both axial and torsional test requirements. The Instron® Torsion Add-On 3.0 for Electromechanical Universal Testing Systems is designed for simple, simultaneous axial and torsional testing of devices and/or components. Torsion Add-On 3.0 easily mounts to any new or existing Instron 6800 or 5900 system, adding torsion capability to your lab while saving valuable lab space. It utilizes Bluehill Universal’s dedicated axial-torsion and method types in a user-friendly and intuitive interface. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Saves lab space by combining axial and torsional capabilities into a single system • Compatible with existing fixtures • Easily mounts to new and existing Instron frames • Uses Bluehill Universal software with TestProfiler • Integrated with 6800 Series handset for safe and ergonomic operation • Compatible with Bluehill’s large library of calculations • Meets requirements of ASTM F543, ISO 11040, ISO 80369, and other testing standards • Performs unlimited rotations • Requires minimal operator training • Compatible with Bluehill Universal Traceability Module to meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance • IQ/OQ documentation available • Supported b
