The Instron AT6 is a modular, 6-axis robot-driven system engineered to automate tensile, flexural, compression, and lap shear testing in accordance with common ASTM and ISO standards. Designed for versatility, it supports a wide range of materials — including metals, plastics, elastomers, thin films, composites, and sutures — at forces up to 600 kN. With the ability to run up to 500 specimens completely unattended, the AT6 delivers true “lights-out” testing, maximizing throughput day and night. The system can be configured with specimen measurement stations, automatic strain devices, temperature chambers, and multiple testing frames to perform different tests in parallel. It also integrates seamlessly with additional testing equipment such as durometers, hardness testers, and surface roughness testers, making it a comprehensive solution for high-efficiency, high-volume testing environments.
