Tinius Olsen's new MP1200 melt indexers get good reaction at NPETinius Olsen's new melt indexer was extremely well received at its launch at the NPE show in Orlando. Of the many new features to be included in the new machine, the top 5/ most popular were:

1. the machine's ability to maintain temperature across the length of the barrel to within 0.1 deg C by using three band heaters and controllers.

2. the built-in mirror and manual cutoff that allows operators to see the extrudate orifice without having crouch down,

3. the die release system that enables easy cleaning for the operator

4. the remarkablly cool surface of the furnace even though the furnace temperature was 300 deg C

5. the menu driven touch-screen display was straight-forward and simple to learn/use.

Most of these features are cosmetic in some form or another, but we're confident that once operators start collecting data, the improved machine performance and the ease with which test data can be collected and used, that the more serious characteristics and features of the machine feature more prominently in the top 5 features.

The key to a perfect test is accurate mounting and support of the steering wheel aligned with the force measurement system as pictured opposite on a Tinius Olsen U series compression testing machine.

A Tinius Olsen system integrated with Horizon automobile component testing software allows users to conduct quality tests 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As soon as the test is complete the system automatically announces “Pass” or “Fail” in accordance with users QA/QC parameters. The system can be configured to alert Managers by e mail should a component “Fail” independent of operator.

Next time you take hold of your steering wheel it is likely it was tested for strength and performance on a Tinius Olsen testing machine.

NPE 2012We launched our new melt indexer, the model MP1200, at the NPE 2012 show in Orlando during the first week in April. We had hundreds of visitors on our booth and all were very impressed with the performance, aesthetics and features of the new  machines. We exhibited on booth number 51017 and had a manual version of the MP1200, a motorised version of the MP1200, an H5kS tensile tester, all controlled from one pc running our Horizon software. 

Key Features of the new MP1200 include:
3 zone heater for an unprecendented 0.1 deg C temperature control along the barrel;
Touch screen control with easy menu system set-up;
New weight design for improved safety with most weights set at the standard 6" diameter;
Die release lever to allow for easier cleaning;
Optional manual or motorised extrudate cut-off tool;
Horizon software integration;
and many more......

To learn more about the exciting new MP1200, visit our corporate website.

Here are a couple of photos of what our booth looked like.
