Tinius Olsen's line of Benchtop Materials Testing Machines are designed to test a wide spectrum of materials including metals, plastics, rubber, textiles, paper, yarn, wire, adhesives, ceramics, timber, foils, composites and finished components in tension, compression, flexure or shear. Maximum frame capacities from 1kN (200lbf, 100kg).
All testing hardware is fully complemented by Tinius Olsen developed software that turns your hardware into a sophisticated quality analysis system. Be sure to examine the software products to determine which package is right for your application.
Single Column Models
The single column materials testing machines have frame capacities of 1 kN or 5 kN (200 lbf or 1,000 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: plastics, films, paper, packaging materials, filter material, adhesives, foils, food, toys, medical devices and components, in tension, compression, flexure, shear, and peel.
S Series
Using a combination of quality engineering 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 the input of test conditions, 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 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 high speed RS232 in both SCII 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 specimen grips and fixtures allowing the selection of an ideal configuration for your application.
Dual Column Models
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.

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.

Software
Building on our long history of providing solutions to an enormous variety of testing problems, Tinius Olsen offers a comprehensive range of software products, each designed to make testing simple, precise and efficient, no matter whether the material is metal, paper, composite, polymer, rubber, or micro components. Tinius Olsen software goes far beyond basic module changes for unique applications; instead, specific and focused application software products have been developed in close cooperation with our customers around the world. There are several valuable features that are common to all, perhaps the most important is the ability to further customize the testing parameters that are used to collect and document testing data, as well as control the testing machine. Specifically, our range of application software is for data acquisition, data analysis and also closed loop control of Tinius Olsen testing machines that have a compatible servo system or four quadrant drive.
