A rheology system includes a rheometer including a lower plate and an upper plate, a manipulator including an arm, a loading end effector, a cleaning end effector, and a controller communicatively coupled to the rheometer and the manipulator, the controller including a processor and a computer readable and executable instruction set, which when executed, causes the processor to direct the manipulator to couple the loading end effector to the arm, direct the manipulator engage a specimen with the loading end effector, direct the manipulator to position the specimen on the lower plate of the rheometer, direct the upper plate to engage the specimen between the upper plate and the lower plate, direct the manipulator to couple the cleaning end effector to the arm, and direct the manipulator to engage the lower plate with the cleaning end effector.

Rheology testing systems and methods for operating the same

A method and system for analyzing a physical characteristic of a film sample are described herein. The system may include a material holder system configured to hold the film sample. The system may include a tensile testing system configured to stretch the film sample and determine a physical characteristic of the film sample. The system may include a movable system coupled to the material holder system and configured to move the held film sample to be analyzed or tested between stations. The movable system is configured to move the held film sample in the material holder system to the tensile testing system.
