AUTOTRIAXQUBE | All-In-One, Fully Automatic Triaxial Testing System

The new AUTOTRIAXQube is a revolutionary, all-in-one automatic triaxial testing system that integrates the many components of triaxial testing into one, single compact system.

Designed to make triaxial testing easier than ever before, the AUTOTRIAXQube will fit neatly in any laboratory and complement your existing testing capability.

Main Features

Space Saving

Occupying less than one square meter, the AUTOTRIAXQube is the ideal solution for any laboratory where space is at a premium.

Easy to Install

There’s no need for external panels, tank, or hydraulic connection — simply connect the AUTOTRIAXQube to water and power supply and start testing.

Fast Water De-Airing

The built-in vacuum pump, tank, control valves and cavitation system will de-air the water quickly and efficiently down to levels of dissolved air acceptable for triaxial test methods.

Integrated Triaxial Cell

Thanks to its lifting system and its three internal columns frame, the triaxial cell is easy to handle. The lifting mechanism allows the operator to raise the cell to its highest position and rotate it through 90 degrees, until it’s safely held in place with a magnetic latch. This removes the need to lift the total weight of the cell while freeing space on the work bench for sample preparation tools.

Integrated Vacuum System

For a streamlined and time saving sample preparation process.

Built-in Ingenious Hydraulic System

Speeds up the time required to set-up the system correctly (water circuit saturation, pressure system and triaxial cell ) avoiding any possible damage to the sample already positioned in the triaxial cell.

Reliable and Accurate

The system is programmed with standardized test procedures reducing inconsistencies from operator variables, or other unpredictable external factors. So, there is no need to collect and save data manually, or perform complex calibration procedures.

Efficient and Repeatable

AUTOTRIAXQube can complete the whole test — from saturation to failure — in fully automatic mode without any interruption, saving time, minimizing operator intervention while increasing accuracy.

Versatile and Expandable

Capabilities can be expanded to perform permeability testing simply by adding a third pressure line. Advanced measurements can be also obtained with the addition of a Bender Element system, or local strain sensors.

User-friendly Software

The user-friendly software and desktop PC* allow the operator to control all phases of testing over a fast Ethernet connection. The AUTOTRIAXQube can also connect using Wi-Fi which is useful for remote training and support. If you already use our flexible and renowned AUTOTRIAX software as part of your existing system, there is no need to invest in any additional software as the AUTOTRIAXQube can easily be integrated and controlled as an independent system by your existing PC and software:

• Effective/total stress: (CU/CAU**,CD/CAD**, UU) (Included in the machine)
• Stress path (to be ordered separately)
• k₀test (to be ordered separately)

* To be ordered separately. Please note that an optional all-in-one PC model is also available. ; ** Anisotropic consolidation according to EN 17892:9 is available. For anisotropic consolidation, a vacuum top cap is required.

Universal Accessories Compatibility

All existing Wykeham Farrance triaxial cell accessories such as pedestals, top caps, membranes, etc., for use with the 70 mm banded triaxial cell (from 38 up to 70mm) are compatible with the AUTOTRIAXQube.
