Tinius Olsen unveils Vector, a groundbreaking advancement in extensometer technology set to replace multiple sensors—both contacting and non-contacting—with a single, industry-tailored instrument.
By fusing adaptive AI capabilities with optical hardware, Vector automates the strain-capturing process and improves operator safety, measurement accuracy, and data consistency while lowering test throughput times and complexity.
Features and Benefits
- Non contacting with digital placement of specimen gage marks supporting an automated process.
- 0.5 μm resolution (1.9685039e-5 inch), capable of ASTM E83 Class B1 and ISO 9513 Class 0.5.
- Various marking options are available, depending on the material. These options include rings and speckles.
- Output data available in analog formats.
