The sturdy design includes quality materials and components to ensure that the company’s reputation for excellent system performance, ease of use, and longevity is upheld.

Features and Benefits

Model 1500SL - Ideal for tension, compression, shear, transverse, and other tests to a maximum force of 1500 kN/300,000 lbf

Model 2000SL - Ideal for compression, tension, transverse, shear and other tests to a maximum force of 2000 kN/400,000 lbf

Four-column sturdy design allows larger samples to be tested

Many system control options are available, from a handheld wireless Bluetooth interface, or a tethered handheld interface operating with a virtual machine interface application on a connected PC

Friction-free piston operation allows smooth, controlled operation and negligible downtime

Options and Accessories for Model 1500SL and Model 2000SL

Crossheads can be closed/semi-open/or fully open for easier specimen loading and unloading ¹

External grips and fixtures can be easily mounted securely

In-head pocket grips can be supplied to accommodate flat or round tensile specimens

Complete range of precision extensometers and deflectometers are available using video, encoder, laser, strain gage and/or LVDT technologies

Columns can be extended by up to 914 mm/36” to expand test area size¹

Note: screw extensions require holes in the floor

Furnaces and environmental chambers can be installed for tests at low or high temperatures

Safety enclosures with interlocks can be installed to safeguard operators from violent specimen breaks

Top crosshead can be made modifiable and columns can be notched to allow the modifiable top crosshead to be repositioned for more comfortable working heights¹

Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software can be connected to the tester by the operator

¹ Supplied at the time of order

Model 3000SL

Tinius Olsen's Hydraulic Universal Testing Machine – Model 1500SL, 2000SL, and 3000SL

Familiar handheld interface that is tethered to the machine. With its larger, tactile, sealed keypad, this interface is ideal for operators who use gloves to load and unload specimens and prefer a push button keypad. It requires virtual machine control software running on a connected PC to operate the basic machine functions and report basic numerical test data.Wireless handheld interface that is connected to the machine by a Bluetooth link. The interface features an Android-based operating platform and can be used to control the machine by itself or in conjunction with Tinius Olsen’s Horizon softwareModel 1500SL3000SL with lower hydrauliic piston configuration and pit mounted.3000SL with upper hydrauliic piston configuration.Options and Accessories for Model 1500SL and Model 2000SL
