Tinius Olsen's new VectorExtensometer is a real step change in extensometer technology, capable of replacing multiple contacting and non-contacting sensors with a single, industry specific instrument.
Vector reduces test throughput times and complexity, automating the process of capturing strain, improving measurement accuracy, data consistency and operator safety – all thanks to the integration of adaptive AI capabilities with optical hardware.
This groundbreaking technology efficiently addresses practical problems by eliminating the challenges of traditional contacting and non-contacting extensometers by utilising intelligent non-contact, high-accuracy measurement techniques to:
- Increase testing efficiency by reducing the need for operator intervention
- Measure strain through failure, however violent
- Test in harsh environments or challenging light conditions
- Test highly fragile specimens
- Avoid introducing stress concentrations, such as damage from knife-edge contact
- Improve test success rate by eliminating contact-point slippage
- Eliminate the cost of consumable parts
Vector is delivered pre-configured, simply plug in, power up and go.
