Automatic Computerized UTM

EN ISO 6892 | EN ISO 7500-1 | ASTM A370
Automatic computerized 1000/2000kN testing machine for steel and concrete has been specifically designed to suit the requirements of Central and Commercial laboratories of the construction industry and Civil engineering in general.

70-C0821: Computer controlled Universal Testing Machine, for tension tests up to 1000 kN and compression tests up to 2000 kN, complete with three set of standard grips, PC, printer and software.
380 V, 50 Hz, 3 ph

Main features:
  • 1000 kN capacity in tension and 2000 kN in compression
  • Completely automatic test cycle at a press of a button up to the printout of the test certificate
  • Strain gauge load cell incorporated in the piston, providing accurate load measurement
  • Rapid vertical displacement of mobile frame by remote control
  • Hydraulic gripping system controlled by remote control
  • Three sets of grippers for round re-bars up to 40 mm dia. and flats up to 70x35 mm
  • Front loading of specimens for quick and easy operation
  • Display of stress/strain diagram in real time
  • Printout of stress/strain diagram and test results
  • Optional second frame facility to control an additional frame up to 5000 kN capacity for concrete testing 

This universal tester, in fact, can be used for tensile tests on steel re-bars up to 40 mm dia., flats up to 35x75 mm,  and compression tests on standard concrete specimens.
It can also be used, with the appropriate accessory, for transverse and bending test on steel, flexural tests on concrete beams and general compression tests. Special accessories are also available for testing steel strands and electro-welded steel  screen.

All the control functions are managed from a standard keyboard and mouse. The frame differ substantially from the old traditional models because of the originality of the design as for example the remote control displacements and gripping systems. The software include a complete suite of programs: tensile, bending, flexure  and compression tests.

Once the specimen has been placed in the machine (using accessories if required) and the specimen data introduced, the test is run completely automatically at the press of a button up to the printout of the test certificate and the storage of the test data.
