ETS-TNE-1T
Electro-mechanical Universal Testing Machine, 10 kN
ETS-TNE-1T
Microcontroller-based, servo-driven electro-mechanical universal testing machine of 10 kN (1 t) frame capacity for studying the mechanical behaviour of metals, polymers, composites, textiles, rubber and more. A high-precision ball-screw drive with AC servo motor gives smooth, backlash-free motion from 1 to 500 mm/min, and interchangeable, auto-detected load cells from 100 N to 10 kN cover thin wires, films, sheets and small components.
The ETS-TNE-1T is the 10 kN (1 t) frame of the electro-mechanical ETS-TNE universal testing machine series from Eklavya Techno Solutions, Ichalkaranji, India. An AC servo motor drives a precision ball screw for smooth, backlash-free crosshead motion at any speed from 1 to 500 mm/min, and interchangeable strain-gauge load cells from 100 N to 10 kN are detected automatically when fitted, so the same machine measures the breaking force of a fine wire or a plastic film as accurately as the tensile strength of a small metal specimen. Direct readout is in N or kN on the M-2301 microprocessor panel.
That combination suits polymer, textile, packaging, wire, rubber and electronics laboratories, research departments and colleges. Versatile fixture and load-cell mounting accepts thin wires, metal sheets, fibreglass, leather, springs and cardboard, with wedge, vice and threaded grips, compression plates, bending fixtures and shear attachments available, plus the optional EE2 strain-gauge extensometer with 1 micrometre resolution for modulus work. Overload protection and limit-switch interlocks protect the operator and the machine, and results print directly or pass over USB and RS232C to optional Windows software. The TNE-1T runs on single-phase 230 V and complies with IS 1828 (Part 1), ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1, ASTM E8 and ISO 6892.

A servo motor and ball screw give precise, repeatable speed control down to 1 mm/min with no hydraulic oil, pump noise or three-phase supply, and interchangeable load cells keep the accuracy high at low forces. For specimens from 100 N to 10 kN, such as wires, films, plastics, textiles and small metal parts, a hydraulic 100 kN machine cannot resolve the load adequately.
Auto-detected load cells of 100 N, 250 N, 500 N, 1 kN, 2.5 kN, 5 kN and 10 kN, others on request. That spans fine wire, plastic film and sheet, textiles, paper and cardboard, rubber, leather, fibreglass, springs, adhesives and small metal specimens, with the cell chosen so the expected force sits in the accurate part of its range.
By digital data entry on the M-2301 panel or with a potentiometer, anywhere from 1 to 500 mm/min. The AC servo motor holds the set crosshead speed under load through the ball screw, which is what test standards for plastics, textiles and rubber require. The panel records load and extension throughout the test.
Yes, with the optional EE2 electronic extensometer, a strain-gauge type with 1 micrometre resolution that clips onto the specimen. The panel or the Windows software then computes modulus along with peak load, rupture percentage and elongation, and the software plots and superimposes curves for comparison. Crosshead displacement is recorded in every case.
The load-measuring system is verified to IS 1828 (Part 1), ASTM E4 and ISO 7500-1, and the machine is used for tensile tests to ASTM E8 and ISO 6892 and the ASTM, ISO and IS methods for plastics, textiles and rubber. ETS installs and verifies the machine on site across India. Confirm the frame capacity and load-cell range for your application with ETS when ordering.
The TNE-500 machines are 500 kg (about 5 kN) platforms with their own panel: the SERVO edition has a colour touch screen with a live graph and 1 to 1000 mm/min, the AC edition a keypad and LED display. The TNE-1T is the 10 kN frame of the main TNE series with the M-2301 panel and load cells from 100 N to 10 kN.
