BALANCED LOADER is a new addition in the range of Controls / IPC Global universal automatic testers. The machine is designed to automatically perform most of the tests included into Balanced Mix Design procedures, including IDEAL-CT, IDEAL-RT, Indirect Tensile Strength, Semi-Circular Bend test and many more.
- This model features a wide two-column frame which is fitted with an upper crossbeam that can be set at various heights depending on the accessories to be used.
- The 50kN capacity jack is driven by a brushless motor, housed in an ergonomic cabinet. Closed-loop control ensures reliable test execution both with displacement and load applications.
- No external transducer is required for displacement measurement. Sample failure is detected automatically and stops the test. Alternatively this feature can be disabled and a travel or time limit can be set instead.
- This model is equipped with adjustable limit switches, mounted on one column.
- The interface is granted by a 7” capacitive color touchscreen display allowing the setting of speed/load and travel/load limits, data format download and graph settings, and saving of multiple pre-set test procedures. Real-time test graph and transducer data are displayed on the touchscreen.
- Test data can be stored on 16GB internal memory, transferred to a USB pen drive or downloaded through LAN or RS232 communication port.
- All accessories have to be ordered separately.
