BALANCED LOADER Automatic Variable Speed Tester, 50kN

BALANCED LOADER is a new addition in the range of Controls / IPC Global universal automatic testers. The machine is designed to automatically perform most of the tests included into Balanced Mix Design procedures, including IDEAL-CT, IDEAL-RT, Indirect Tensile Strength, Semi-Circular Bend test and many more.

Also suitable for Marshall, CBR, UCS, and other displacement controlled tests.

 

This model features a wide two-column frame which is fitted with an upper crossbeam that can be set at various heights depending on the accessories to be used. The 50kN capacity jack is driven by a brushless motor, housed in an ergonomic cabinet. Closed-loop control ensures reliable test execution both with displacement and load applications. No external transducer is required for displacement measurement. Sample failure is detected automatically and stops the test. Alternatively this feature can be disabled and a travel or time limit can be set instead.

This model is equipped with adjustable limit switches, mounted on one column. The interface is granted by a 7” capacitive color touchscreen display allowing the setting of speed/load and travel/load limits, data format download and graph settings, and saving of multiple pre-set test procedures. Real-time test graph and transducer data are displayed on the touchscreen.
Test data can be stored on 16GB internal memory, transferred to a USB pen drive or downloaded through LAN or RS232 communication port.

All test accessories have to be ordered separately.
