Electromechanical testing machines for a wide range of materials

Elastocon offer the ST series of electromechanical testing machines from Tinius Olsen, which is designed to test a wide range of materials at capacities up to 300 kN, in tension, compression, flexure, shear and peel.

The ST series is designed to test materials including, but not limited to: plastics, films, paper, packaging materials, filter material, adhesives, foils, food, toys, medical devices and components.

The Tinius Olsen benchtop range of ST models features both single and dual column frames. The single column models have frame capacities of 1 kN and 5 kN, while dual column models are available in capacities of 10 kN, 25 kN and 50 kN, and are designed to test a vast range of materials and finished products for strength properties.

The Tinius Olsen floor standing ST models have frame capacities of 100 kN, 150 kN, and 300 kN and are designed to test a vast range of materials including, but not limited to: rigid and reinforced plastics, composites, geotextiles, sheet metal, welded specimens, adhesives, and medical products and components.

The ST series provide the ultimate in durability, speed, accuracy and convenience and feature high precision, interchangeable strain gage load cells for capturing applied load data. This design allows rapid change of machine capacity from as little as 0.2% of the capacity of the smallest load cell to the maximum frame capacity in a very simple process.

Machine control via interface panels and Horizon software

All ST series machines can be used with selection of handheld interfaces or a virtual machine interface running on a connected PC.

Powerful data analysis and machine control software (Horizon materials testing software) can be added to your system to provide a library of standardized test routines, generate a complete graphical result of your test, and perform sophisticated powerful analyses on the test data to produce the test report you need.

A comprehensive selection of accessories

A comprehensive selection of grips and fixtures hold the simplest to most complex specimen profiles, strain measurement instruments employ different technologies, temperature chambers and more can be used in conjunction with these test frames and Horizon software to ensure you have one of the best, most accurate repeatable, flexible and easy-to-use systems on the market today.
