Instron, a provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, offers its new advanced video extensometer (AVE)
This high-performance, non-contacting extensometer meets and exceeds the performance of traditional contacting extensometers.
Designed with absolute measurement capabilities, the extensometer determines elongation of specimens resulting from mechanical strain, making the advanced video extensometer (AVE) ideal for testing metals, plastics and alloys.
With its unique non-contact measurement design, the extensometer has no influence on the specimen, ensuring accurate test results.
AVE contains no moving parts, so it is never at risk for mechanical wear, unreliable results or inaccurate target tracking.
Unlike traditional extensometers, it relies on color contrast, making it resistant to ambient lighting effects.
The extensometer's high-resolution digital camera and advanced real-time image processor generate accurate axial and transverse strain measurements for convenient review and storage of test results.
Equipped with three fields of view (FOV) and transverse strain measurement, the AVE meets diverse testing requirements.
Additionally, the ergonomic design provides operators with convenient access to the test area.
