What's a commercial tension testing machine?

Others have written books on this subject, so I suspect my explanation (in technical detail) would not be sufficient for this thread. Therefore I attached a book reference that might cover part of your needs. There are several types of tension as well, so if you could supply a technical description of your needs, we might be able to provide a more accurate description of what you require.

thank you for the suggestion, I think I should've have used "technical detail" as I'm not really looking for such broad information. I just would like to hear your opinion on this.

They are expensive because they have to be accurate and reliable.
Very few are needed, so very few are sold. The economics of volume is simply not there.
