Cement Compression/Flexural Machine

This fully-automatic, Servo-hydraulic cement compression and flexural machine has been designed according to the EN196-1 and ASTM C109 standards for testing the compression and flexure of mortar prisms and cubes. The machine features a very rigid, two-column frame, automatic closed-loop, PID-controlled, servo-hydraulic power pack and LCD, graphic digital control and readout. Machine speed can be adjusted from 0.05 kN/sec to 20 kN/sec.

Controller Features
Controller is designed to control the machine and provide data acquisition from load cells or pressure transducers installed on the compression machine frame. Easy-to-read LCD graphics display and touch-button data pad keys make the unit quick and straight forward to operate. All interactions with the measuring system are via the front control panel by using simple menu-driven procedures. The controller provides real-time load vs. time graph. At the end of the test cycle, the results can be stored in the large memory or downloaded to a PC. Dedicated software package is available for further data processing data base management and printing.
