CNC TENSILATHE

For nearly 50 years, Tensilkut Engineering has been manufacturing and selling precision equipment for the accurate preparation of physical test specimens. Designed to be located in the lab with the universal testing machine, Tensilkut machines can be used by lab personnel without previous machining experience.  

           The CNC Tensilathe is the only laboratory-sized, automatic lathe designed specifically for turning round tensile bars from most machineable materials.  With its dependable, 1-1/2HP, 180VDC motor, the CNC Tensilathe will prepare specimens from round or irregular stock; full sized or subsized tensile, fatigue and similar round test samples can be accomplished.  It was developed for operation by lab personnel with no previous machining experience.  The CNC Tensilathe uses a standard 3-jaw chuck to hold the specimen; the opposite end is center drilled to accomodate a live center.  Samples from approximately 1/4” to 2” diameter can be completed, using round or irregular starting blanks.  A built-in micro-drop coolant system increases cutter life and improves surface finish, while the moveable chip shield over the working area reduces flying chips.  An emergency stop switch is mounted on the front of the lathe, as are all power switches.  The CNC Tensilathe is shipped fully set up; the computer must be hooked up, and the machine is ready to operate. Training is available in our facility for our new customers, at no charge. If desired, arrangements can be made such that training is done on your machine, before we ship it to you, so you are familiar with all of your programs.
