Bluehill 3 v3.51 Now Includes Torsion Support


As mentioned in the previous posting for release 3.51, Bluehill 3 is now available for use on Instron static torsion systems.  The Torsion Application Module is intended for use on static MT Torsion models. The module includes the Torsion and Torsion Relax/Creep method templates which are suitable for creating twist to failure and twist to a hold level type test methods.  Such tests are often required for wire, fasteners, components and tooling.

Major platform extensions to Bluehill 3

This is a release we and many of our customers have been waiting for. With release 3.51, lab managers can finally standardize on Bluehill 3 for all their static tests across all our current static (ElectromechanicalStatic hydraulic) and dynamic testing machines (Servo Hydraulic and ElectroPuls systems). Starting 3.51 Bluehill 3 can also be used to setup and run torsion tests on the MT Torsion line of testers. Apart from the platform extensions this release also has some nice enhancements geared towards high temperature applications and metals testing.
