In my 15 years of as a QA manager I have never worked with an instrument which is so incredibly simple to operate. When we first got the equipment it took just a few minutes for me to figure it out. Moreover, by the second hour I was comfortably teaching my newer staff how to operate the machine. I love the library of common tensile dimensions and the ability to enter custom data on the touch screen controller. It is rear to see a dummy proof equipment on the market. We than TensileMill CNC. Inc. for figuring this one out.

The Software is astonishing! We particularly enjoy the library of common standards. In our initial discussion of technical specifications, we asked for the machine to be programmed for the ASTM E8 standard based on our customer needs at that time. We were pleasantly surprised to find the software was equipped with many ASTM, ISO, JIS, and DIN standards. This came particularly handy when our recently acquired customers needed us to prepare them with tensile samples according to ISO standards.

Happy with our investment. We received a better value at a more competitive price. Before buying, we sourced 3 quotations, including TensileMill. TensileMill met all technical needs and had the added value of the easy to use software interface. The unit was lower priced relative to the competition and fit well in our budget.

We specialize in part production with inconel metals. Our materials are upwards of 50HRC and require a tensile tester with 5000 kN capacity. Daily we prepare roughly 30-40 samples. We were out there looking for a robust and user-friendly machine to be operated by our junior engineers in our new R&D division. We had sent our samples to TensileMill to be tested before making the final purchase. The guys at TensileMill turned our samples, made a video of the process and sent the sample back to us for inspection. We were very impressed. TensileMill CNC MINI was the solution for our needs. Over the years, this machine had proven itself over and over to be both powerful and reliable. Since we purchased the MINI, our capacity had increased to roughly 50 samples per day. After months of rigorous work with the unit, the only maintenance expense we have are the endmills. We had looked into purchasing them with other suppliers, however they last about a third of the time that TensileMill?s endmills do, yet the cost is about the same.

Before buying the unit, we had never heard of TensileMill CNC Inc. Our trust was earned when TensileMill invited us to visit their facility and see the unit?s operation for ourselves. We brought our specimens along for the trip. I must say, that at first I was very skeptical, because I have never heard of a ?tensile preparation designated machine?. The good news is that skepticism is no longer an issue. We are proud owner of the TensileMill CNC MINI. What more, we really appreciate the way TensileMill handled themselves prior to the purchase and how they are continuously showing their support after the fact. We get occasional courtesy check ups to make sure that we are all set. It is nice to be cared for.

Very easy to use for non-machinist. Terrific technical support.
