The automatic compression machines allow inexperienced users to perform tests with ease. The operator turns the machine on, centers the specimen with the help of concentric centering lines of lower bearing blocks, then follows the below steps:
- Setting test parameters
- Press the START button on the control unit
Once steps one and two are complete, the automatic compression machine starts the rapid approach. When the specimen touches the upper platen, the rapid approach ends and starts loading at the pace rate that was selected by the operator and stops once the specimen fails. The machine automatically saves the test parameters and test results.
Automatic Compression Machine Features:
- Ability to test multiple specimen sizes
- Accuracy Class A acc. to E74
- Supplied with factory calibration certificate for load measurement
- Tests automatically with closed loop control
- Tests controlled via U-Touch PRO control unit or on a computer using included UTEST software
- Load measurement with a pressure transducer
- Hydraulic pump with dual stage for rapid approach
- Welded steel walled frame with a single acting piston
- Piston return at the end of each test automatically
