Our product line for your sample preparation needs

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,

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
