5980 Series Dual Column Floor Model

5980 Dual Column Floor Model testing systems can be used over a
range of force applications up to 600 kN (134,800 lb, 60000 kg). A
variety of load cells are available to provide accurate measurements
for applications ranging from thin metals to those utilizing the full
capacity of the load frame. Additionally, a full range of grips, fixtures,
and strain measurement devices are also available. In combination
with Instron® Bluehill® Software, these testing systems provide high
performance, flexibility, accuracy, and usability. Applications solutions
include high-strength metals and alloys, advanced composites,
aerospace and automotive structures, composites, bolts, fasteners,
plate steels, and many more.
