AUTOMATIC COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE - 500 KN

AUTOMATIC COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE - 500 KN

Model Number : TM-042AC.500

Manufactured as per International design, Plate model for highest mechanical stability, accurate centering of load and excellent repeatability. Automatic pace rate control, auto stop and manual release on failure of test specimen. As per EN 12390‑4, ASTM C109, AASHTO T22, IS : 14858 (2000). Further details as mentioned in Technical Part on following pages. Note: We strongly recommend using a servo voltage stabilizer to protect the Compression Testing Machine from overvoltage. The machine incorporates sensitive electronic components. Operating it without a stabilizer may cause serious damage or breakdown, which will not be covered under warranty.”

Compliance With International Standards:

Our machine is designed to meet the stringent requirements of cement testing, ensuring compliance with the following international standards:

  1. IS: 4031 (Part 6)
  2. EN 196-1
  3. ASTM C109
  4. ISO 679
  5. BS 4550-3.4
  6. JIS R 5201
  7. IS: 14858 (2000)

Automatic Test Execution:

The machine automates the entire testing process for efficiency and accuracy. Key features include:

  1. Set Parameters: Enter the specimen dimensions and pace rate.
  2. Simple Operation: Place the specimen and center it on the lower platen.
  3. Fully Automated Testing:
  4. Rapid piston approach.
  5. Automatically maintains the set pace rate throughout the test.
  6. Determines stress and logs data without manual intervention.
  7. Stops motor and save the readings automatically upon specimen failure.
  8. Data Management:
  9. Stores all test results internally with date, time, and results in mPa, N/mm², or kg/cm².
  10. Results can be saved to an attached USB drive or communicated online to a PC.
  11. Live graph generation during the test on both the touch screen and connected PC.
  12. Optional built-in printer available for direct report printing.

Additional Features:

  1. Operates on 240V, 50-60Hz, single-phase power.
  2. Dual-stage pump for fast piston approach and precise execution.
  3. Conforms to EN 196-1, ASTM C109, ISO 679, BS 4550-3.4, JIS R 5201.
  4. Adjustable pace rate: 1 kN/sec to 10 kN/sec.
  5. Auto-stop functionality after test completion.
  6. Soft platen-to-specimen contact for smooth load rate control from the start.
  7. Servo motor-driven mechanism for enhanced reliability.

Frame:

  1. Four-column, high-stiffness welded frame for superior stability.
  2. Heavy-duty spherical seat for initial free alignment and automatic jamming during the test.
  3. Surface hardness of platen: 55 HRC, flatness tolerance: 0.03 mm (traceable certificate available upon request).
  4. Optional piston travel limit switch
  5. Emergency stop button for safety.
  6. Servo motor-driven design with live online graph displayed on a 7" touch screen.
  7. User-friendly graphical display.
  8. Displacement-controlled variant available (at extra cost).
  9. Stores up to 100 test results on the touch screen.
  10. Inbuilt USB drive for easy data transfer.

Salient Features of Data Manager PC Software (Optional)

  1. Two-way communication: Operate the machine via PC or touch screen controller.
  2. Results and graphs are saved directly in Excel format.
  3. Records customer details, specimen aging, cube identification marks, and testing date/time.
  4. Prints detailed reports directly from the computer.
  5. Allows selection of test parameters such as pace rate, sample size, and area.
  6. Supports various test types, including flexural, CTM, and aggregate crushing.

This machine is indispensable for precision cement testing, meeting the highest standards required for construction and civil engineering projects.
