TENSILKUT I

Tensilkut is a precision milling machine designed specifically for machining flat tensile samples from metals and non-metallic materials. Tensilkut machined specimens are of induced heat or cold working distortion, and are accurate to within 0.0005". A sample can be machined in a few minutes by lab technicians with no previous machining experience,

TENSILKUT II

The Tensilkut II is the upgraded, yet still manually operated, Tensilkut machine. It includes several operator safety, comfort and convenience innovations, while maintaining the accuracy and ease of operation which has made the Tensilkut so popular with users for over half a century.

CNC TENSILKUT III

The CNC Tensilkut III is the newest generation of Tensilkut machine, designed specifically for the preparation of flat physical test specimens for use in universal testing machines. The CNC Tensilkut III will cut tensile, flexural, tension impact and other samples from plastic or fiberglass sheets, and from precut strips of steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, copper and other metals and non-metallic materials. It was developed for use by lab personnel without previous machining experience. The unit is shipped fully set up; the computer need only be hooked up for the system to be ready to operate.

CNC TENSILATHE

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.

TENSILGRIND

The Tensilgrind is a precision contour grinding machine used for the preparation of foil and sheet test specimens from high hardness metals and tough alloys, including stainless, chromium, molybdenum and cobalt based alloys. Tensilgrind employs the basic principle of the Tensilkut, wherein a precision master template is manually guided across the table surface with the removal of metal being accomplished in a series of light grinding passes. A mist coolant system is standard on the Tensilgrind. Master Templates and replacement grinding wheels are in stock.

TENSILATHE/505

Tensilathe/505 is a specialized, precision, heavy duty semiautomatic tracing lathe capable of turning bars up to 18” in length. The lathe bed is precision ground, cast iron, ensuring smooth movement of the tailstock and tracer. The Tensilathe/505 is powered by a 1HP motor, with infinitely variable speed from 100 to 1725RPM. A maximum spindle speed of 3000RPM can be achieved by changing pulley ratios.

TENSILSAW

The Tensilsaw, powered by a high speed motor, is used to saw straight strips from glass laminates, composites or hard plastics. The thin diamond blade cuts the material for insertion into the Tensilkut template, or for flexural or other tests without heating or burning the strip edges. Toothed Tensilsaw blades are also available for use in cutting plastics with a lower melting point; both types of blades are in stock for immediate shipment.

TENSILSHEAR

The Tensilshear is a small,hand operated shear which is used to cut straight strips from light gauge metals for insertion into the Master Templates. Micrometer gauges located at the rear of the Tensilshear can be used to control the width of each strip being sheared. To view a Youtube video with the Tensilshear in action click here!

IMPACTKUT

Impactkut is a precision hydraulic broaching machine designed specifically for notching prepared 10mm charpy impact bars in accordance with ASTM A370. The basic machine can be mounted on a metal cabinet in the user's lab, or ordered pre-mounted on a cabinet with an integral coolant system, as shown above. Impactkut requires only a small amount of floor space.

IMPACTMILL

The Impactmill accurately notches charpy impact specimens from prepared plastic blanks in accordance with ASTM D256. The totally enclosed 1/2 hp motor rotates a precision ground single tooth cutter, while the specimen is fed through manually in one smooth motion.

V-MILL

Tensilkut master templates are available for flat test specimens to ASTM, JIS, ISO or other domestic or international testing standards. Templates for the most common metal and non-metallic physical test specimens, including tensile, flexural, tensile-impact and compression standards, are in stock for quick delivery; others are made to order.

Tensilbits

For optimum surface finish and contour duplication on your flat test specimens, you need carbide cutting tools engineered specifically for high speed machining with Tensilkut machines. Solid carbide Tensilbits for cutting metals and plastics are precision manufactured from the finest micrograin carbide; carbide tipped Tensilbits for general purpose metal cutting and diamond plated Tensilbits for glass filled laminates, composites, kevlar and similar materials have high quality tool steel shanks.
