Compression Machines

[gbowen]

I am researching compression machines in order to replace the one we currently use with something that is rate controlled as opposed to the force controlled model we currently use. I am also interested in data acquisition capabilities and compression/tension models. Any suggestons on where to look?

Please call the Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Co. Willow Grove PA.

(215) 675-7100. I am a Regional Sales Manager for Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Co. and can help you with your new machine requirements. Our machines can be load rate controlled, strain rate controlled, position rate controlled and many other types of control.

Capacitites in tension and/or compression from 200 Lbs to 600,000 lb, with data acquisition and control that would satisfy the most demanding engineering task.

Thank you for your post.

They sell Test Mart Compression Units and they have a good priceing structure too. I have just bought one for this Company and was suprised as to the willingness to match and beat other pricings. Get prices from others and than call.
