Cutting & Coring Machines

Advanced Automated Asphalt Saw, AUTOSAW II from IPC Global is an automated specimen clamping and sawing system for fast, accurate cutting of beams from asphalt prisms prepared in the PReSBOX or slab compactor and for trimming cylinders from GALILEO, GYROCOMP, SERVOPAC and other gyratory compactors.

77-PV47105: AUTOSAW II, Automated Asphalt Saw, complete with asphalt Multi-slab Jig. Blade not included.
400 V, 50 Hz, 3 ph

Main features:
  • Touch screen CPU control allows for easy set-up including carriage speed and retraction sequence
  • Intelligent system with adjustable limit switches allow for repetitive cuts with minimal carriage overtravel saving time
  • Protection cabinet with several automatic locking access doors to ensure unparalleled safety and clean operation in laboratory environments.
  • Slab and prism of any shape and dimensions can be sawn without additional accessories (see table for maximum dimensions)
  • Pneumatic clamping of prisms and cores
  • Compressed air gun for cleaning specimens and sawing system
  • Easy spacer system allows precise preparation of beams or cores
  • Automatic advance and retraction of saw blade to home position
  • Adjustable cutting speed for optimum specimen finish and throughput
  • Numerous interlocks to ensure operator safety
  • Motor features dynamic braking to immediately stop while switched off
  • Motor mounted on twin chrome-plated steel rails with sealed bearings
  • Stainless steel water collection pan
  • Unique clamping mechanism for cylindrical specimens minimizes specimen damage. Use of a sacrificial PVC tube produces a superior finish and minimizes edge chipping
  • Jig for round cores, 100 or 150 mm dia, with both automatic or manual feeding of the sample, length up to 200 mm, and jig for 200 mm dia. cores with manual feeding
  • Quick and easy specimen set-up

An easy-to-use spacer system sets the specimen position and allows beams or cores to be cut without the need for measurement. The saw blade advances and retracts to the home position automatically.

The Autosaw includes the multislab jig. Completed with the suitable accessory, can be used to cut also asphalt cores at the desired length.
It can be fitted with 650 mm dia. blade with a maximum cutting depth of 200 mm and prism length of 500 mm (extendable to 700 mm, on request).

Cutting speed is operator selectable for optimum specimen finish and throughput. The asphalt saw allows an easy-to-use sawing systems for fast, accurate cutting of beams for asphalt prisms to be used in the different tests.
Complete with table and clamping device for slabs, water pump for cooling the blade and filtering system.

Ideal for Research and Central laboratories.

The Autosaw can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
IPC Global's Multi Core-Drill is a superior laboratory asphalt core drill whose robust and rigid design provides a precise coring of asphalt prisms, cylindrical and slab samples to the highest quality.

77-PV75202: Multi Core-Drill, laboratory asphalt core drilling machine with clamps for prisms up to 450 x 180 mm. Three speeds: 540, 1300, 1800 rpm. 2200 W, 10 A. 230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph

The Multi Core-Drill has been designed to be easy to use, flexible and adaptable providing users with precise drilling capabilities. This will enable users to have absolute confidence in the quality of their specimens and the reliability of their test results.

Main features:
  • A powerful three speed motor, specifically designed for high performance coring, ensures efficient and high quality specimen preparation
  • Guided rail provides a smooth and precise track for the drill to travel while cutting samples
  • Transparent protection/splash covers conform to CE requirements for safety and ease of cleaning
  • A unique sliding table and stainless sample tray provide easy sample alignment for precise cut positioning and catches debris for long life and easy cleaning. Included as standard.
  • Transveral bidirectional movement for parallel coring
  • Transversal coring
  • Coring cylindrical asphalt samples

Designed, in particular, for coring samples 100 mm dia., 150 mm high for Dynamic Moduluis (AMPT, AASHTO TP79) and 38 to 75 mm high for Indirect Tensile Tests (EN 12697-24 and 26) coming, as example, from Gyratory compactors.

Included as standard the Multi Core-Drill comes with the support and clamping devide that sits inside the stainless steel tray and ensures asphalt samples produced by IPC Global's PReSBOX are held firm and in the correct position for drilling.

The Multi Core-Drill can also be provided with an optional device which allows for up to 80 mm transversal movement of the drill for parallel coring. This device, in combination with the longitudinal movement of the carriage, ensures high cutting alignment and increases the number of cores obtained from the same prismatic sample. Bidirectional coring is suitable for 38, 50 and 75 mm dia. See upgrading options.

The innovative transversal coring clamp system allows users to obtain cylindrical asphalt specimens in 38, 50 and 75 mm dia. This unique accessory (see accessories) ensures that samples, both 100 and 150 mm dia., are securely clamped whilst drilling is commenced to provide perfect specimens every time.

A unique, easy and intuitive cylindrical clamp accessory allows users to quickly and easily core asphalt specimen from cylindrical samples produced in the gyratory compactor up to 150 mm dia. (see accessories). The same coring can also be done, as alternative, with the KorBit machine model standardly supplied complete with adjustable clamp.

The Multi Core-Drill can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
