- 2. 2 2www.tiniusolsen.com F or maximum tensile testing throughput and capability, Tinius Olsen offers a range of horizontal tensile testing machines in capacities of 5kN (1000lbf), 25kN (5000lbf), 150kN (30,000lbf) and 300kN (60,000lbf). These horizontal testing machines offer unique benefits over vertically oriented testers by allowing a range of accessories to be mounted next to the machine to turn it into a fully automatic testing station. They are designed primarily for production departments and are typically in constant use; however, the grips can be modified to accommodate different shaped samples and alternate grips can be provided for customers when test requirements change. The horizontal extensometer that is typically used with the machine has a unique design that incorporates pneumatic controls that automatically lower the arms prior to the test and raise the arms at the end of the test. Air bearings on the extensometer provide accurate strain measurement through fracture. The operation of the basic machine is sophisticated, providing accurate and repeatable specimen placement against mechanical stops, automatic clamping, MHT Series extensometer lowering (if supplied), testing, extensometer removal, and grip return to the starting position, all with a single mouse click. This advanced operation can be further developed when the PC-based machine control software provided with the machine is upgraded to include data acquisition and data analysis. Further automation can then be achieved by the addition of a robot and sample racks. In this configuration, the robot will pick a sample from a sample rack and insert it into the machine grips. It will then wait for the end of test so that the broken sample pieces can be removed from the grips and placed in a suitable disposal bin. If a sample measuring station and barcode reader are included with the system, the whole testing process is automated with the only operator requirement being the loading of the samples in the sample rack. The test data that is generated can be included into corporate manufacturing and resource planning software ensuring that quality control data is an integral part of operations. 150kN capacity horizontal tensile testing machine shown with optional extensometer and PC Basic 25kN capacity horizontal tensile testing machine, shown with optional extensometer Detail showing the pick-and-place robot, sample racks, laser barcode reader, sample dimension measuring station, broken sample bin and another test station.
