Automatic Contacting Extensometer AutoX750 The need for increased specimen throughput has created a demand for faster, more reliable and more accurate materials testing routines. The AutoX750 Automatic Contacting Extensometer fulfills this demand and enhances the productivity of testing laboratories by allowing them to take advantage of automatic gauge length positioning and attachment to the test specimen. By removing these manual, tedious, and time consuming steps, lab operators can enjoy a simplified testing routine while improving throughput. Reducing the inconsistencies in how a traditional clip-on extensometer is attached greatly improves the repeatability and reproducibility of critical test results. The AutoX750 is used to determine a variety of calculations including modulus, offset yield, plastic elongation to failure (non-proportional), and r and n values for sheet metals. Its high accuracy and travel make it an ideal extensometer for a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and composites at both ambient and non-ambient temperatures*. It is compatible with 3300, 5500, and 5900 electromechanical dual column systems, as well as LX, DX, HDX, and KPX static hydraulic testing systems (Bluehill? 3 required). It can also be used with either fully-automated or manual testing systems. When not in use, the mounting allows operators to quickly position the extensometer out of the test area providing a safe storage environment for the device. Removing the AutoX from the test area allows operators to easily switch out grips and fixtures without the additional step of uninstalling the device. Features and Benefits ?
