Series D Automated

Automatic determination of the compressive strengths of concrete cubes 15 and 20 cm or cylinders 15 x 30 or 10 x 15 cm. 

Fully Automated Concrete Testing System

This unique testing system provides a professional and efficient testing of large series, either cubes 15 and 20 cm or cylinders 15 x 30 or 10 x 15 cm. Once the identification of the sample is done and via barcode and serial interface exchanged to the building material testing software Proteus the automatic operation with its high reproducibility of the test conditions and of the test results is started.

        The process includes the following operations:

  • Sample identification and data transfer to the building material testing software
  • On time sample loading via portal system and conveyor
  • Automatic recognition of sample type
  • Automatic measuring of the sample dimensions, either edge lengths or diameter
  • Automatic weight measuring
  • Loading into compression testing machine with automatic centring for precise aligned purpose
  • Automatic height measuring of the sample at a defined pre-load
  • Calculation of the density
  • Accurate force appliement through digital closed loop controller DIGICON 2000, according to relevant standards, until specimen failure with automatic piston returning
  • Fully data acquisition through testing software PROTEUS with data storing, print out of a protocol or data transfer to your Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
  • Ejection of the sample on a conveyor and disposal
  • Automatic cleaning of the lower and upper spherically platen
