Description
The VJ Tech ShearSCAN Pro Motorised System uses stepper motors for applying vertical and horizontal load to the sample. The self-contained tabletop model eliminates the need for the numerous weights required for dead weight systems.
The Advanced electronics enable the ShearSCAN Pro to carry out Constant Shearing, in addition to Direct and Residual shear. It is also capable of Oedometer testing using the supplied adaptor (requires csOEDO and associated Consolidation Cells).
Using our versatile csCONSHEAR software (which includes csSHEAR), a Test can be set up with 3 possible Consolidation Modes, 3 possible Vertical Control methods for the Shear Mode and 6 possible Shear Modes for the selected Vertical Control Method.
The system features a built-in Auto engaging function with a definable engage value and auto reverse from limit switch activation to prevent damage. It also includes inbuilt auto protection from sensor limits.
Main Features
- Integrates a compact submersible load cell positioned close to the sample rather than using an external load cell to measure shear load.
- Supports standard Direct Shear tests, as well as, advanced test types such as slow cyclic shear via our Clisp Studio Module (+/- 20mm travel from the mid-point of the sample).
- Capable of performing Oedometer tests (requires additional components)
- Compact tabletop design to minimise footprint
- Multiple Units can be controlled from a single PC via a LAN or Ethernet/USB hub
- Built-in logger allowing high-speed sensor data conversion (24-bit, up to 5000 samples/s)
- Optional standalone use via Touchscreen display with data export to PC or a USB Drive
- Built-in live data tables and graphs for immediate analysis and real-time data visualization
- Built-in auto protection for mechanical limits & sensor limits
