General description

These machines represent the advanced evolution of the standard motor operated compression tester, where the three main parts of the machines: frame, power unit and measuring system, have been totally redesigned and integrated for this particular function obtaining performances very close to that one of the automatic and most sophisticated testing systems.

These machines are ideal for control and commercial laboratories to test cubes, cylinders or blocks to the new EN Standards.

 

Upgrading machines options

These machines can be upgraded conforming to the client requirement by the following options:

  • Block testing
  • Power pump wiht two-way valve to connect a second frame (Digimax 3 version only).

 

Frame

  • Four column rigid welded steel construction.
  • Platen hardness: minimum 600 HV30
  • Ram travel: 50mm

 

Pilot 3 hydraulic power unit  

High volume – low pressure feature for fast approach ram action and change over to low volume – high pressure for testing. Fitted with special pressure – compensated flow control valve, which automatically allows a precise rate of loading over the complete test.

 

Safety features  

  • Max. pressure valve to avoid machine overloading
  • Pressure release system to avoid pumping the piston out of the cylinder
  • Front and rear transparent fragment guard
  • Piston travel limit switch

 

They are proposed with two different strength measurement systems

 

1. Wizard single channel basic digital readout unit

  • 5 keys membrane keyboard.
  • LCD display 2x16 characters.
  • Resolution: 1/32.000.
  • Verification in real time of the load rate.
  • Serial port for PC and columns serial printer for Wizard Basic unit (optional)
