Avant-Garde triaxial testing system is the new high-performance load frame specifically designed for advanced laboratories. The expected variable speed range of this electro-mechanical machine up to 100 mm/min makes it suitable to perform Unconfined, CBR and Marshall tests other than standard triaxial tests. This heavy-duty load frame has provision for automatic load and displacement/deformation control, thanks to the latest generation control board incorporated into the machine. Distinguished by its elegant shape with rounded corners, Avant-garde counts with a touch-orientable display, front mounted, which allows an easy and innovative control of the main functions and data acquisition, including detailed charts. If desired, the display can be detached by using a dedicated Kit to allow on-spot complete test managing. This feature might be useful in cases where a direct overview of hardware is preferred (eg pre-saturation conditions checks during triaxial testing).
