Universal test stand Didactic

Specially designed for teaching.
With the same base unit, by simple change
in position of the cylinder and in adding the
accessories corresponding to the desired
tests, this test stand replaces classical
compression, traction, flexion, shear and
pull-out machines for construction materials,
metals, wood and composites.
An interface permits acquisition and
visualisation of curves, in real time, on a
compatible PC.
Measurement by electronic pressure sensor.
Force 200 kN in thrust, 150 kN in traction.
Jack stroke: 160 mm.
Separate control desk with integrated PC.
Standard software: display of measurement
of pressure sensor vs. time.
Elect. supply: 400 V, three-phase.
Power: 1 kW.
Dimensions: 960 x 1 040 x 140 mm.

Modernisations
Updating of your old test bench by changing
the piloting system
Mechanical advantages:
Recuperation of existing equipment (jack, displacement sensor and tools).
Reduced space requirement of the desk including, in a same piece, the hydraulic
unit, the screen, the keyboard and the central unit.
Easy jack loading using a lever.
Possibility of limiting the load by means of a safety valve.
Information technology advantages:
Possible display of one or several graphs as per tests.
Automatic putting to scale of the graphs.
Analysis of the graphs after testing.
On screen monitoring of the load rise curve.
Automatic calculation, after testing, of the resistance values in compression,
traction and flexion.

LVDT sensor and conditioning

electronics. Stroke: 10 mm.
Precision lower than 0.5%.

Example:
In flexion test with an extensometer bridge
and strain gauges on a concrete or steel beam,
you can see evolving during the test,
in real time, the diagram of the deformation
of each of the gauges and in this way observe
the stresses in traction, compression and the
neutral fibre.
