Description
A bench mounted compression frame with motor and worm gear housed within the base unit producing a platen speed of 50.8 mm/min. A limit switch is provided for the bottom limit of travel. The machine is fit with a precision strain gauge load cell and displacement transducer, both connected to the Digimax Touch data acquisition and processing system (which is part of the system) featuring a large display and standard software covering either the Marshall or the Indirect tensile test. For more details see PC software.
The machine can be completed with a PC software (see accessories) suitable for running CBR, Marshall, Indirect Tensile and universal load/displacement tests. Data are presented numerically and graphically in real-time:
- Saving and management of tests through single files
- Single and multiple test result management and printout: Data export to MS Excel®
- Language selection: English, French, Spanish and Italian plus any other custom language
- Connection to Controls machine with high speed Ethernet connection.
