Compression Super “L” Series
Easy-to-use testing software.
Tinius Olsen has a wide range of
software that can be added to the
Super “L” for data acquisition and for
computer-assisted control of the testing machine (for machines equipped
with the optional servo control).
Testing control with handheld
controller.
For manual control and convenient
operation each compression Super “L”
includes as standard a handheld controller with an LCD and an extended
cord. A portion of the LCD reads force
in either lbf, N, or kgf in 10 mm high
numbers. In addition to displaying
force, it can be optionally equipped
with instrumentation and signal
conditioners to display position and
strain. If the position instrumentation
(high resolution encoder) and signal
conditioning module are ordered,
speed will also be displayed.

computer control.

Tinius Olsen’s popular line of Super “L”
hydraulic testing machines are complemented by a series of compression
only test frames. These frames have
the same superior specifications as the
tension and compression frames, but
test in compression only.
The Tinius Olsen Super “L” has long
been recognized as the standard for
accuracy, dependability, and versatility
in hydraulic testing machines and the

many thousands of machines in use
around the world attest to this fact.
The test frames feature a patented
dual-pressure hydraulic loading system and a new space-saving console.
All Super “L” systems are guaranteed to meet ASTM, ISO, and other
national and international
specifications for accuracy. Accuracy
is within +/- 0.5% of applied force
from 0.2% to 100% of frame capacity.

Optional servo control.
As dependable as the basic manually
controlled Super “L” is, the rate at
which load is applied is determined by
the operator. Therefore, as an option,
the Super “L” can be supplied with
closed-loop servo control capability.
This closed-loop control system constantly monitors the test in progress
and regulates the testing rate to
maintain preset conditions. This option
enables you to conduct compression
tests and flexure tests automatically
and ensures consistent testing control,
free from operator variability. Also, this
valuable feature can be easily added
to the machine at a later date with
hardware and software options.
