AsphaltQube is a fully integrated standard testing system based on the revolutionary EmS Electro-mechanical Servoactuated technology, suitable for QC / QA tests. Now you can perform the most common asphalt standards in one compact, modular, easy to use machine.

79-PV72Q02/I2: AsphaltQube, modular electro-mechanically operated asphalt tester complete with 10kN static / 15kN dynamic E-Mech actuator, 20kN load cell, 30mm actuator LVDT, -20° to +80°C temperature transducer and IMACS2 controller.
208-230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph

Main features:
  • Brand new technology including the new revolutionary EmS actuator
  • Easy and versatile with his fully integrated modular system, that includes a 15 kN capacity CEMA1 actuator
  • Enhanced environmental cabinet that grants a wide temperature range with fast and accurate temperature control
  • Easy-to-use and ergonomic testing system
  • Clarity in results with the Integrated Multi Axis Control System (IMACS)
  • Fully integrated and very compact in design, a perfect solution for both static and mobile testing facilities
  • Optional air compressor that comes integrated in the machine
  • All-in-one touchscreen PC (optional)

EmS technology's main benefits:
  • Improved dynamic performance over servo-pneumatics
  • Stand-alone with no need of compressed air supply
  • Lower maintenance
  • Robust and durable giving a more resilient solution
  • Compact design requiring, in general, a smaller footprint
  • Easy to use

The flexible system allows you to perform the test with AsphaltQube (permanent deformation, cyclic compression, indirect tensile stiffness, indirect tensile fatigue, crack propagation, direct tension-compression, dynamic / complex modulus) plus triaxial compression, four-point and two-point stiffness and fatigue flexural tests.

The AsphaltQube can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
Designed around the third generation Integrated Multi-Axis Control System (IMACS2) controller, AsphaltQube Pro EmS is a welcome addition to the current IPC Global range of modular testing systems. The new 30kN capacity dynamic actuator benefits from the revolutionary Electromechanical Servoactuation Technology (EmS) allowing to perform an infinite range of QA / QC or new materials’ development tests.

79-PV72Q35/I2: AsphaltQube Pro EmS, 30kN modular electro-mechanically operated asphalt mix and unbound tester with inbuilt IMACS2 controller. 220-380V/50-60Hz/3ph

79-PV72E32: AsphaltQube Pro temperature controlled cabinet controller, range -40 +80°C, with possibility to perform static setpoints or decreasing temperature ramps. 110-230V/50-60Hz/1Ph

Main Features:
  • The new EmS electromechanical actuator with high pre-load ball screw delivering 30kN backlash-free dynamic force over 100mm travel, with minimum noise
  • Adjustable motorized reaction frame, controlled by software or integrated joystick controller, able to adjust the vertical daylight according to the test configuration.
  • An optional modular temperature-controlled cabinet, available with a range -40°C to +80°C, easy to set-up and maintain thanks to a two-piece modular construction. Fixed or ramp temperature can be set-up with IPC Global’s
    UTS Neutron software.
  • Exceptional cooling performance especially at low temperature, with possibility to perform thermal cracking tests.
  • Suitable for Triaxial cell for 100mm and 150mm dia. asphalt mix or unbound granular material specimens. Optional air compressor that comes integrated in the machine
  • All test transducers, confinement pressure line and Four-Point bend jig clamping motors can connect directly to the rack inside the temperature controlled cabinet.
  • Clarity in results with the 3rd Generation Integrated Multi Axis Control System (IMACS2)
  • Fully integrated and very compact in design, a perfect solution for both static and mobile testing facilities
  • All-in-one touchscreen PC (optional)
