Tensile test machine and Extensometer -- connection problems

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the connection issues between a Tinius Olsen 602 tensile test machine and an Epsilon extensometer during tensile testing of glass-fiber composites. The user, Khalid, reports that the extensometer is not recognized by the Horizon software despite being connected via Ethernet cable, resulting in strain measurements being derived from crosshead displacement instead. Recommendations include contacting customer technical services for both Tinius Olsen and Epsilon for troubleshooting assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of tensile testing procedures and equipment
  • Familiarity with Tinius Olsen 602 tensile test machine
  • Knowledge of Epsilon extensometers and their specifications
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for software and hardware connections
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Tinius Olsen 602 troubleshooting guides
  • Learn about Epsilon extensometer calibration procedures
  • Explore the Horizon software user manual for connectivity issues
  • Investigate common Ethernet connection problems in laboratory equipment
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and technicians involved in materials testing, particularly those working with tensile test machines and extensometers, as well as quality control professionals in composite material manufacturing.

TL;DR
I am using tensile test machine, Tinius Olsen 602 to conduct a tensile test for Glass-fiber composite. I am facing problem of using an extensometer from Epsilon (gage length is 25 mm).I have connected the extensometer to the tensile test machine(Tinius Olsen 602) through the ethernet cable but it is still not recognized by the software . the Software that belongs the machine is Horizon .could you please guide me towards the necessary procedures to conduct the tensile test with the extensometer.
Dear friends
i am using tensile test machine, tinius olsen 602 to conduct a tensile test for Glass-fiber composite. i am facing problem of using an extensometer from Epsilon (gage length is 25 mm). I have connected the extensometer to the tensile test machine(tinius olsen 602) through the ethernet cable but it is still not recognized by the software and the strain comes from the crosshead displacement. the Software that belongs the machine is Horizon . could you please help me out and guide me towards the necessary procedures to conduct the tensile test with the extensometer.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
