Bluehill Universal is designed to smoothly conduct all material tests with touch operation. With a focus on usability, it features an innovative vertical screen layout that makes the testing workspace displayed on the control panel very user-friendly. This large screen is a groundbreaking space equipped with an integrated controller. Its intuitive operation allows users to quickly start testing without being affected by individual differences in testing experience, thus minimizing the time spent on operational training. 【QuickTest】 If immediate test results are needed, simply input basic parameters from the QuickTest screen to start the test right away. 【Standard Test Methods】 Bluehill Universal comes with a library of pre-configured test methods based on the most commonly used testing standards such as ASTM, ISO, and EN. 【Guided Testing】 It guides you through the entire testing process with step-by-step instructions, allowing for error-free execution during repeated tests. Additionally, test instructions can be customized with unique text and images.
-
[Test Profiler] You can perform simple cycle tests using ramp waves, hold waves, and triangular waves. By using conditional logic, you can create test patterns that replicate test conditions in real scenarios.
-
The automatic positioning function saves the locations of the fixture intervals used for each test method. This allows all operators to perform the tests in exactly the same way.
-
【Operator Protection Feature】 The 6800 series incorporates an operator protection feature that is currently patent-pending by Instron. This smart function ensures the safety of both the equipment and the operator by controlling the system status from setup to test completion. 【Test Status Display via Indicators】 The 6800 series continuously displays the system status. Users can easily understand that the system is in a safe setup mode, and they are notified to stay away from the test area when the safety limit is removed. 【Smart Close Air Kit】 The risk of finger pinching accidents caused by pneumatic grips is mitigated by reducing the grip's operating pressure and limiting the operating speed during specimen attachment.

■Latest Model Handset 【Customizable Soft Keys】 With two changeable soft key buttons, operators can assign various operations to the buttons. The soft keys can be saved for each method, allowing customization for each test. 【Virtual Interlock】 This technology, pending patent by Instron, includes a mechanism that prevents the test machine's crosshead from moving unintentionally. 【Variable Speed Jog Button】 In setup mode, the system is configured to move the crosshead at a safe speed suitable for the operator to work in the test space. 【Precise Positioning】 The precision positioning jog wheel with tactile feedback allows the crosshead to be moved to an exact position in increments of 4μm when performing tests that require fine movements. 【Specimen Protection】 Specimen protection automatically fine-tunes the crosshead to prevent unnecessary forces from being applied to the specimen, safeguarding valuable test specimens from damage.
-
■Durability 【Collision Mitigation】 If a load is detected during return or while the jog button is activated, the crosshead will stop, preventing damage to the device and breakage of delicate test specimens. 【Load Cell Overload Prevention】 The 6800 series automatically stops when the load cell reaches its maximum capacity, preventing damage to the load cell, system, and fixtures. 【2580 Series Load Cell】 The 2580 series load cell is specially designed for the 6800 testing machine, providing excellent performance with the ability to measure loads with an accuracy of ±0.5% of the reading down to 1/1000 of the load capacity. The load cells designed and manufactured by Instron can withstand loads up to 150% of their load capacity without damage and up to 300% without mechanical failure. The automatic transducer recognition feature and electrical calibration make it user-friendly.

Company information
Instron was founded in 1946 by Harold Hindman and George Bahl, who were conducting joint research at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) at the time. They developed the world's first electromechanical (screw-type) universal testing machine. The name "Instron" is derived from "instrument" and "electronics." Instron's product range offers diversity that can cater to almost all global markets and industries, and since its establishment, over 70 years of testing technology and manufacturing experience have been built, with more than 50,000 systems operating worldwide. In 1965, Instron Japan was established to support customers in Japan. Currently, it has major bases in the United States, Europe, and Asia, providing sales and services in 40 languages through agents in 160 countries around the world.
