CONTROLS have long tradition in manufacturing automatic setting time testers for cement and mortar. A new generation, the third one, is now available. The new machine has been completely redesigned based on the innovative CVI-TECH philosophy.
CONTROLS offer three versions, with EN or ASTM standard accessories, or standalone without accessories: 63-L2701/E: VICAMATIC-3, automatic electronic apparatus for setting time test on cement/mortar/gypsum. Complete with EN 196-3 accessories: initial setting time needle 1.13 mm dia., mould and PC software VICASOFT-BASIC. 110-240V, 50-60Hz, 1ph 63-L2701/F: VICAMATIC-3, automatic electronic apparatus for setting time test on cement/mortar/gypsum. Complete with ASTM C191 accessories: initial setting time needle 1.00 mm dia., mould and PC software VICASOFT-BASIC. 110-240V, 50-60Hz, 1ph 63-L2701: VICAMATIC-3, automatic electronic apparatus for setting time test on cement/mortar/gypsum complete with PC software VICASOFT-BASIC. Supplied without accessories (mould, needle) and mould centering ring. 110-240V, 50-60Hz, 1ph As with the older generations the test procedure is unchanged, a needle (or a probe) drops freely into a cement sample at regular intervals and in fixed positions. Penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0,1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, when it matches some thresholds pre-defined by Standards initial and final setting times are measured and recorded. 63-L2700/E10: Accessory for needle cleaning and in-water testing 63-L2700/E11: LAN hub for PC connection of up to 7 VICAMATIC-2 units or up to 6 units in case of multi-hub network. LAN cable from hub to PC is included. Each VICAMATIC-2 unit is supplied complete with LAN cable 63-L2700/PR: Upgrading of a VICAMATIC-2 unit for incorporating a graphic printer into the head. Test settings and results are plotted both as numerical and graphical format including penetration depth/time diagram. The upgrading shall be factory installed 63-L2700/E9: Water thermostatic unit for VICAMATIC -2. Up to 2 units may be connected. 230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph 82-SW/VS: VICASOFT-PREMIUM software for PC connection of up to 32 VICAMATIC-2 units including remote control of each unit, data acquisition - processing - filing, printout of test reports. |
Used to determine the consistency of mortars and building lime.
Two versions available conforming to EN and ASTM standards, manual and motor operated. Hand operated models: 64-L0038/A: Hand operated flow table, conforming to EN 459-2 and EN 1015-3 63-L0040/A: Hand operated flow table, conforming to ASTM C230 Motorized models: 64-L0038/G: Motor operated flow table, conforming to EN 459-2 and EN 1015-3 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph 63-L0040/G: Motor operated flow table, conforming to ASTM C230. 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph Motor operated models are driven by a motor speed reducer and the number of drops are preset on the digital counter, which stops automatically the machine at the end of the cycle. Supplied complete with flow mould and tamper. EN versions include also the filling hopper. 63-L0037/1: Flow caliper to EN 459-2 and EN 1015/3 63-L0040/1: Flow caliper to ASTM C230 |
