Solar Atmospheres of Western PA adds milling center

Solar Atmospheres of Western PA has installed a second machining center to support its tensile testing service. The fully programmable 8100 RPM Haas VF2 milling center allows the company to machine flat tensile specimens.

This machining ability fully complements the function of the 10,000-PSI hydraulic jaws in the Tinius Olsen 300SL tensile machine, which can grip threaded round or flat specimens.
