CNC Tensilathe




Lets work together

Product Summary



The CNC Tensilathe was developed for use in the laboratory to produce round test specimens when you need them. Easy to use, this machine can pay for itself in a year or two by reducing sample preparation costs. For a Youtube video of the CNC Tensilathe in operation click here



Product Details



The CNC Tensilathe is a new, fully automatic lathe developed specifically for turning round tensile, fatigue, jominy and other test bars from most machineable metals and non-metallics. The CNC Tensilathe employs a microcomputer which is programmable to prepare a wide variety of specimens from approximately 1/4" overall diameter to in excess of 2" overall diameter. The Pentium computer with integral hard drive includes a monitor keyboard and mouse.





This new lathe features a Windows based software featuring pull down menus for easy operation; neither machining nor CNC tool experience are required for the user to quickly learn to turn his own bars. A complete, illustrated self-instruction manual guides the user through the entire turning process; training in our facility is also available. Optional software will allow specimen contours to be imported from most CAD drawing programs; most users prefer to allow us to program their systems.



This lathe uses a standard 3-jaw chuck; a 4-jaw chuck is available for gripping irregular pieces. The unit contains a Micro-Drop coolant system; a chip shield inhibits flying chips and reduces the noise of the lathe. An emergency stop switch is located on the front of the unit, as are all power switches.



The CNC Tensilathe from Tensilkut Engineering



This is a close up of the CNC Tensilathe making one pass along the length of an aluminum blank being turned to prepare a round tensile bar in accordance with ASTM E8 for the .500" x 2" gauge section. This fully automatic CNC Tensilathe operates on a windows based system, and can be programmed for a wide variety of tensile specimen sizes, using either English or Metric dimensions.

Programming



Tensilkut Engineering can write programs for any specimen the customer desires, including variations in starting size and/or shape. All specimen programs ordered are in­stalled in the computer prior to shipment to the cus­tomer.



Should additional specimens be added to your testing program after you begin using your CNC Tensilathe, new sample pro­grams can be done by Tensilkut Engineering, saved on a CD and shipped to you for easy instal­la­tion on your hard drive, or emailed for your easy transfer to the machine’s computer.
