Automatic – time saving: test-cycle automation maximizes productivity and ensures tests are performed accurately according to pre-set methods, eliminating operator variables.

Intuitive, quick and simple operation: The integrated control system features an intuitive 5.1” color graphical display, which works like a tablet or smart-phone, and makes quick and simple to operate.

Highly accurate and energy saving: Our DC motor technology quietly and efficiently delivers super accurate load control at both low-speed and low-loads.

Firmware

Execution of loading ramps with the possibility to manually increase or decrease the test speed during the test

Pause command to maintain steady load can be enabled at a pre-set value before the test or as required while testing

Simultaneous display of load, specific load, actual load rate, load/time graph

Execution of compression, flexure, indirect tensile, ACV tests in automatic mode with load rate controlled by a closed-loop P.I.D. system

Multi-coefficient linearization of the calibration curve for better accuracy at low loads thus avoiding the use of a second pressure transducer

Improved PID algorithm and multi PID selection. Up to 3 different PID settings can be tuned for a variety of materials  (e.g. cylinder with neoprene pads, low strength specimens) and test methods (e.g ACV, flexure, indirect tensile).

Compatible with the newly released Data manager software, tailored for construction material testing laboratories, for real-time data acquisition, display and management

Recording facility for up to 9 test profiles for each channel including: type of test (e.g. compression, flexural, indirect tensile), specimen size and shape, load rate, test standard and other general information. Each one of the recorded test profiles can be recalled automatically to save time

Saving of the specimen failure type in the test results

Download data to internal printer (optional) or to PC via RS 232 port or to USB memory stick

PC / network communication via Ethernet

Peripheral devices integration

Automatic load measurement verification procedure, by connecting suitable load cells and our digital readout unit to PC

Language selection.

Unit selection (kN, ton, lbf).
