Performance and Applications
The 6800 series can be expanded to include digital input/output channels and up to 11 strain channels to ensure compatibility with accessories and external devices. When conducting tests on the 6800 series rack, synchronous data can be collected with adjustable bandwidth at frequencies up to 5 kHz, ensuring that test events are not missed.
more reliable

Operator protection
The 6800 series Instron operator protection architecture ensures more reliable equipment and operators through intelligent workflow control of system status from setup to testing completion.
Built in prompts
The 6800 series can provide clear visual feedback on system status at any time. When the system is in reliable settings mode, users will easily understand and be explicitly reminded that once these reliable restrictions are removed, they will exit the testing space.
Intelligent pneumatic control device
During the setup phase of testing, the risk of pneumatic fixture gripping can be reduced by reducing the fixture closing pressure and limiting the closing speed.
New handheld remote control handle

The new ergonomic handle of 6800 is directly installed on the rack, making the system controls easier to operate than before. The operator can use the handle at the installation position or remove it from the base.
Through two user-defined 'function key' buttons, the operator can initiate various commands. Function keys can be defined for each method, allowing customization for each experiment.
The Instron system architecture can restrict the movement of the machine, thereby preventing accidental movement of the crossbeam.
In the setting mode, the system will default to a reliable speed suitable for the operator to work in the test space.
Sample protection can be achieved by automatically adjusting the crossbeam to prevent unnecessary force from being applied to the sample, thereby protecting your valuable sample from damage.
durable
collision protection
If force is detected during return or jog, stopping the movement of the crossbeam can reduce damage to the equipment and samples.
When the load sensor reaches its limit load, the 6800 series system will automatically stop to prevent damage to the load sensor, testing system, and accessories.
The 2580 series load sensor is designed specifically for the 6800 testing system, with a load measurement accuracy of ± 0.5 percent of the indicated value within the range of 1/1000 from full scale. The automatic recognition and electronic calibration of sensors make them easier to use.
sturdy and durable

The construction of 6800 includes preloaded bearings, ball screws, thick crossbeams and bases, as well as low tension drive belts to ensure good performance and service life.
When conducting uniaxial tests, only systems with stable and accurate rigid guide columns can obtain accurate stress and strain results to ensure the bending of the specimen under loading conditions.
The 6800 rack is equipped with a powerful motor that can accelerate quickly. Maintenance free brushless AC servo motors can undergo up to 10 days of cycling, creep, and relaxation testing (up to 1Hz at 25 ° C).
In addition to the high-power motor, the 6800 drive system also includes a rigid steel casting with a dual belt drive system. Unlike systems that use gear reduction devices, which generate reverse clearance and have lower stiffness coefficients, the double belt system can keep the ball screw in synchronous motion, thereby eliminating the inclination of the crossbeam and helping the system to align.
