Automatic Compression Testing Machine (Prime CTM) is fully automated version of the manual/semi-automatic compression testing machine. The machine is available in 50kN to 5000kN capacity ranges. It has provision for automatically turning the pump on & off, controlling the set pace rate & switching the machine off under predetermined conditions. The control releases the pressure at the end of every run & reinitializes the machine at the beginning of every test. The pace rate is maintained by means of full three term PIO feedback control using high torque stepper motors & driver sets. Data acquisition, storage, management & analysis are all fully automated.
System Description:
The complete unit comprises of:
Loading unit: The loading unit is of fully welded construction having a top cross head, base & solid side plates with precision ground hydraulic piston fixed to the base. The platens of the machine are hardened, ground & polished. Heavy duty upper platen comes with oil filled ball seating arrangement for increased stability. To facilitate testing of various size specimens, suitable size spacers are provided.
Pumping Unit: The dual stage pump allows the fast approach of the platens, for daylight closure & also allows the automatic, precise control over the load application; a pace rate bar on the display givers operator feedback on the loading rate.
Enhanced Digital Indicator (EDI): This is the touch screen EDI & features the integral load pacing bar display, maximum load & stress result display, USB output & also Wi-Fi enabled. Results from approximately 2000 completed tests can be stored in the memory & these results can be in Imperial/English, Metric of SI units. These results can further be downloaded to PC through USB.
