Testing Machines Inc.

As part of the Industrial Physics group, we provide packaging, product, and material test and inspection solutions to manufacturers, production lines, and laboratories across the planet.  

Your products and their packages need to be carefully tested for quality and consistency. Invest in the right testing equipment to improve your efficiency and maximize your profits.

With TMI as your partner, you can access over 75 years of laboratory testing knowledge and instrument calibration experience from technical experts in materials testing.

We know how to manufacture physical property testing instruments. Our customers across the paper, pulp, plastic film, foil, ink, and coatings sectors can vouch for this. As can our many partners across the nonwovens, adhesives, and corrugated industries.

If you need paper and board testers, we make a complete range of testers for materials from paper from to corrugated board. Could your assembly line benefit from an effortlessly accurate precision micrometer? Check out our options today. Our solutions can even be tailored to meet the unique requirements of your business. 

And if you need to understand the friction between the surfaces of your products and packages. Or – as our engineers call it – the coefficient of friction (COF) value, we have advanced friction and peel testers to measure surface properties of sheet substrates.

Our Preventative Maintenance and Calibration (PM&C) teams calibrate most laboratory instruments to ensure your instruments are working effectively.  

These technical experts can help you to understand:

• Tensile strength
• Thickness
• Elmendorf Tear
• COF (Coefficient of Friction)
• Smoothness
• Porosity
• Parker Print Surf
• Contact Angle 
• Compression
• Burst Strength
• Melt Flow
• Impact Strength (IZOD/Charpy)
