The machine is designed to meet requirements of works, laboratories and universities for quality control and research purposes. This system is suitable to test metallic round and flat rebars, to determine tension, compression, bending shear strength and to determine compression and flexure strength on concrete.
Load Frame Features
-Load capacity (kN) both tension and compression: 1000 kN
-Hydraulic servo-controlled system regulating the load rate
-Four thick columns and two lead screws grant high structural stiffness
-Two different work spaces, the upper one for tension and the lower one for compression, bending and shearing, for a comfortable test execution
-High precision load cell, class 1 according to ISO 376 standard, grants accurate force measurement
-High precision load cell, class 1 according to ISO 376 standard, grants accurate force measurement
-Possibility to fit accessories for tensile tests on nut bolts, headed and shouldered specimens, wire ropes
-Integrated displacement photoelectric encoder
-Movable lower crosshead with button panel for an easy machine operation and specimens positioning
-Compression platens included for an easy machine calibration
-Machine CLASS: 1
-A second frame (accessory) can be easily connected to perform a compression test on concrete specimens, including configurations for Elastic Modulus and Poisson ratio determination.
Firmware
Fully automatic test cycle with closed-loop digital feedback
Electronic control unit “Servo-plus Evolution” with Touch-Screen colour display, that runs like a standard PC based on Windows operating system for management and analysis of data, test results, graphs.
The Touch-Screen icon interface allows an easy set-up of parameters and an immediate test execution.
The machine can also be connected to a PC for a remote test execution through suitable Software.
Direct connection to Intranet (connection to a LAN network) and Internet to establish a remote communication and receive an immediate diagnostic analysis from Matest technicians, or for any software updates.
Unlimited memory storage with: 2 USB ports, 1 SD card slot, 1 RS232/485 serial port.
Possibility to select different languages.
The machine is supplied complete with loading frame, control unit, compression platens and hydraulic power pack for jaws closing, while PC, software, grips, printer and extensometers (see next pages) are optional and must be ordered separately according to the user needs.
