UNIFRAME50 Automatic Variable Speed 50kN Tester

The UNIFRAME50 EmS by CONTROLS is a universal automatic compression machine for displacement and load controlled tests on a vast range of construction materials. Highly flexible, this general purpose testing system benefits from generous dimensions that allows the operator to place an extensive range of accessories meeting all the needs of a material testing lab.

UNIFRAME50-T version also adds the possibility to perform tensile tests up to 25kN capacity.

 

 

Description

The new UNIFRAME 50 EmS features major improvements to both the user interface and machine performance. They include:

  • User-friendly display— wide high resolution 7” colour graphic touchscreen display.
  • Flexible data acquisition — up to four channels for external displacement transducers, two channels for load cells plus one channel for crosshead travel allowing for a wide range of test methods to be performed.
  • Remote control — by using our newly released PC software (optional), allowing easy and convenient data management and effortless printing/saving of customized test reports in Excel format.
  • Optimum load measurement accuracy — obtained with 19-bit effective resolution (524,000 divisions).
  • Advanced testing capabilities — ability to perform complex test procedures including loading / unloading cycles and steady loading phases.
  • Large storing capacity — 16 GB memory internal memory. Stored data can be exported to your PC by using a USB key or downloaded in real time via the RS 232 serial port.

The frame of this model is made of two solid columns, and it is fitted with an upper crossbeam that can be adjusted in height according to the accessories being used. An ergonomic cabinet contains the load jack, DC motor, and controls, powered by the microprocessor. The execution of tests with both displacement and load applications is reliable thanks to closed-loop control. For assessing displacement, it is not necessary to use an external transducer. Automatic sample failure detection ends the test. An alternative is to disable this feature and set a travel or time restriction in its place.

This model is equipped with adjustable limit switches, mounted on one column. A handle wheel is used to manually move the the platen during calibration procedure so that the load can be maintained constant with good precision. This facility can be used for the calibration of any load cell present in the laboratory and not only for the one supplied with the machine.

The setting of speed/load and travel/load limits, data format download and graph settings, and saving of previously set test procedures are all possible through software user interface (up to 10 profiles can be saved in the internal memory of the machine).With data storage onboard, the firmware enables the performance of up to four transducer calibrations (two load cells and two potentiometric linear transducers). The touchscreen shows a real-time test graph and transducer data.

An emergency button is installed on the front panel to quickly stop the machine. Test data can be downloaded in Controls, txt, or ASCII format from a USB pen drive or from a LAN communication port.

Test accessories are sold separately.
