Dual Column Models
6
The dual column materials testing
machines have frame capacities of
10kN, 25kN and 50kN (2000 lbf,
5000 lbf and 10,000 lbf) and include
two model types — the S series
and the T series. These machines
are designed to test a wide range of
materials, including, but not limited
to: rigid plastics, films, paper,
packaging materials, filter material,
thin sheet metal, adhesives, foils,
food, toys, medical devices and
components, in compression,
flexure, shear, and peel.
S Series
Using a combination of quality engi-
neering and advanced technology,
Tinius Olsen has produced a series
of machines that are accurate and
simple to use. All S Series machines
feature an easy-to-read backlit liquid
crystal display that can be switched
between a numerical
and graphical display.
All data shown on this
display is obtained in
real time, with the
autoranging graphical
display showing the
test curve of the specimen under test.
The control unit features dedicated
keys for moving the crosshead up,
down, stop, performing the test, as
well as keys for load and extension
tare and crosshead return. The control
panel also features an alphanumeric
keypad to allow input of test condi-
tions, test data and the formatting of
the test report. The control unit can
retain up to five separate test
routines for easy and rapid recall.
While powerful as stand-alone units,
these machines can be enhanced by
direct connection of a printer through
which comprehensive test reports
and high resolution graphs can be
quickly obtained.
The S Series of testers are also
designed for users all over the world
— an optional language module can
be plugged into the control panel and
all data on the backlit LCD will be
shown in the selected language (for
example English, etc.).
T Series
Building on the quality and technology
of the popular and successful S series,
Tinius Olsen has developed the new
T series of machines. The T series
models have similar specifications
without the S series control panel.
Instead, the T series machines
communicate directly with a standard
PC or network running one of our
Windows based data analysis
software packages, via a high
speed RS232 in both ASCII and
super high speed binary modes.
Common Features
The S and T series use rapid
change Z beam load cells that
allow for simple and quick
“sizing” of the machine to an
appropriate capacity for the
test. These load cells have an
accuracy of +/- 0.5% of the
applied load value, from 2% to
100% of the load cell capacity.
The S and T series have a
huge assortment of different
grips and fixtures available
allowing the selection of an ideal
configuration for your application.
