Technical notes

  • Hydraulics
  • Wide flow rate range allowing the control of several frames with different capacities from 15kN up to 5000kN.
  • Forced ventilation oil cooling system.
  • High efficiency oil filtering system with anomalies warnings (e.g.low oil level and dirty oil filter).
  • Oil flow regulated by servo controlled proportional valve with high fre­quency driving signal.
  • 2 (extendable to 4, see upgrading options) electronic ON/OFF valves for remote automatic selection via PC of the active frame.
  • Hardware and firmware
  • 8 active channels (each one can be used by the machine as feedback variable to control test execution):
  • Zero and gain digitally adjustable
  • Data acquisition synchronized on all channels
  • Calibration of the 8 channels in engineering units, via linearization function (up to 10 steps) which allows optimisation of readings accuracy over the whole test range.
  • User interface The system is controlled via the PC. An alphanumerical keyboard and an icon driven display are also provided for factory settings and use of unit in local mode.
  • Software

Features

  • Unique technology based on servo-controlled proportional valve optimized for construction materials for load, stress and displacement controlled tests, with superior performances: fast reaction time, excellent sensitivity to minor variations, extremely wide oil flow range
  • All above features extended onto up to 4 different frames ranging from 15 kN to 5000 kN
  • Accuracy and reliability thanks to advanced electronics, efficient closed-loop control, high effective resolution, optimized P.I.D. algorithms
  • Performs user defined displacement/deformation tests for research purposes: Unlimited combinations of load/stress, displacement/strain cycles, load/stress ramp sequences and test procedures
  • Low frequency dynamic tests with a maximum of 0.1 Hz (depending on the wave amplitude)
