Its high accuracy of ±1micron, along with a maximum travel of 750mm and multiple knife edge options make it an ideal extensometer for tensile, flexure and compression testing of various materials including highly rigid composites, metals, and plastics. With features including automatic gauge length positioning and automatic attachment to the test specimen with adjustable contact force, the AutoX 750 claims to enhance the productivity of testing laboratories. By removing tedious and time-consuming manual steps, lab operators can enjoy a simplified testing routine while improving throughput. Reducing inconsistencies in how a traditional clip-on extensometer is attached greatly improves the repeatability and reproducibility of critical test results. www.instron.com
