The fully automatic shear testing machine that benefits from the new low maintenance, efficient and environmentally-friendly Electromechanical Servo actuation (EmS) technology. Silent, compact and high-performing, the testing system can be run as stand-alone unit or with our ingenious software that can connect up to 6 units with just one PC, enabling you to expand your laboratory gradually and seamlessly.

Main Features:

Save time and ensure test accuracy with straight horizontal transmission of force facilitated by high stiffness load chain shear box, driving head and load cell, eliminating horizontal load measurement inaccuracies.

Fast, smooth and accurate loading delivered by integrated optimized PID closed-loop control with precise load ensured by a load cell directly mounted on the loading tip.

Long-life and low maintenance with corrosion-free, techno-polymeric shear box carriage. Lightweight and easy to clean, the top-quality techno-polymeric material offers excellent resistance to corrosion.

Totally flexible— choose to control unit either via the Integrated local user interface or via PC

Fully automatic, standalone Direct / Residual Shear soil testing system managed by local user interface with 6” touch screen high resolution color display that can also accurately perform Consolidation tests using appropriate consolidation cells.

High-performing with maximum vertical and horizontal force of up to 10 kN, infinite variable speed from 0.00001 to 15.00000 mm/min and adjustable number of cycles from 1 to 50.

Modular and expandable with optional dedicated software — gradually connects up to six units via LAN port using the same PC software allowing you to build your laboratory without interruption — resulting in excellent return on investments.

Environmentally friendly and quiet — new Electromechanical Servo actuation (EmS) technology requiring no dead weights or large and noisy air compressors, thus drastically reducing noise levels.
