TensileMill CNC: Your Trusted Partner in Tensile Testing

TensileMill CNC_ Your Trusted Partner in Tensile Testing

Many facilities face several common challenges when searching for a reliable partner in tensile testing. These often include overly complex equipment interfaces that require extensive training, delayed deliveries that disrupt production timelines, and limited technical support that leads to downtime during critical operations. In some cases, equipment arrives incomplete or without proper calibration, making it difficult to meet required testing standards from the start.

At TensileMill CNC, we provide precision equipment and complete solutions for the preparation of flat and round tensile specimens. Our systems are developed to support laboratories, manufacturing plants, and research institutions by offering in-house tensile sample preparation solutions that align with international standards such as ASTM, ISO, CSA, and JIS. We supply CNC milling and turning machines, universal testing machines, and related accessories, including fixtures and tooling. In addition to the equipment, we offer installation support, operator training, calibration services, and lifetime technical assistance. Our goal is to deliver practical tools that help our clients maintain efficient, accurate, and consistent tensile testing processes.

These systems feature a guided interface, enabling consistent preparation with minimal operator input. The equipment supports multiple standard profiles and is suitable for routine testing and high-throughput applications.

Round Specimen Preparation Tools

We provide CNC lathe-based systems for preparing round tensile specimens. These machines are built for precision and repeatability, allowing users to produce samples that meet strict dimensional and geometric tolerances. The software interface supports standard and custom specimen parameters, offering flexibility across industries.

Impact Specimen Preparation Systems

Our impact specimen preparation equipment enables fast and compliant notching of specimens for Charpy and Izod testing. Engineered for safety and ease of use, these systems help laboratories meet impact testing standards by delivering uniform notch profiles and surface finishes.

Universal Tensile Testing Machines

Our tensile testing systems evaluate material properties such as strength, elongation, and elasticity. Available in an array of force capacities, these machines are designed for tensile, compression, and flexural testing. They are suitable for both production control and research applications.

Surface Preparation and Polishing Equipment

We also provide polishing systems used to refine tensile and metallographic specimens. These machines contribute to test accuracy by delivering a clean and consistent finish, supporting both visual inspection and mechanical measurement requirements.

Consumables and Spare Parts

To support your continued operation, we offer a range of consumables and spare parts, including cutting tools, clamps, fixtures, and jaws. All components are selected for compatibility and durability, helping to maintain performance while reducing maintenance and downtime.

Our Equipment Lineup Purpose-Built for Every Need

Smart Solutions for Flat and Round Specimen Preparation

We offer targeted solutions for both flat and round tensile specimen preparation. Our systems are engineered to improve precision, streamline operations, and reduce reliance on external machining services. We help testing facilities save time, lower costs, and improve results consistency by integrating intuitive software and automation features.

As previously mentioned, our machines are equipped with a built-in library of international tensile testing standards, including ASTM, ISO, JIS, and DIN. This allows operators to prepare specimens by the most recognized testing protocols without manual calculations or programming. Simply entering the required measurements or selecting a predefined template enables automatic milling or turning process generation.

By managing the entire specimen preparation process in-house, laboratories can reduce outsourcing delays and gain greater control over sample quality. This results in a faster testing cycle and more predictable timelines for both production and research environments. Additionally, our systems are capable of handling many types of materials, including soft metals, hardened alloys, and difficult-to-machine options such as Inconel and titanium.

In order to give you a better understanding of what we have available in terms of machines for tensile specimen preparation, let us show you two of our bestsellers:

TensileMill CNC MINI – Compact Flat Specimen Preparation Machine
