Instron Introduces: A Revolution in Strain Measurement
This second generation advanced video extensometer utilises patented measurement technology in the fastest, most accurate non-contacting strain measurement device commercially available.
The fully-integrated device easily adapts to the normal fluctuations of environmental conditions in your lab and is easily adapted to any testing machine on the market that uses a ±10v analog input (performance depends on the system). Designed to dramatically reduce errors from thermal and lighting variations that are common in most labs, the AVE 2 is the only device on the market to utilise the real-time 490 Hz data rate while also achieving a 1 micron accuracy.
Its versatility allows for testing under multiple environmental conditions and can be used for advanced strain measurement with Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The AVE 2 measures both modulus and strain to failure of almost any material including plastics, metals, composites, textiles, films, bio-materials, and many more.
