Tinius Olsen introduces Vector, a groundbreaking extensometer technology that consolidates multiple contacting and non-contacting sensors into a single, industry-specific instrument. By integrating adaptive AI with optical hardware, Vector simplifies test processes, reduces throughput times, and automates strain measurement. This innovation enhances measurement accuracy, ensures data consistency, and improves operator safety.
Features and Benefits
- 0.5 μm resolution (1.9685039e-5 inch), ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B1 capable.
- Non contacting with digital placement of specimen gauge marks supporting an automated process.
- Output data available in analog formats.
- Various marking options are available, but they are material dependent. Rings, speckles.
