Semi-Automatic Compression Testing Machine
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10926
Semi-Automatic Compression Testing Machine (code EL-CTLE-10926) is a two column plate type compression machine with a touch screen digital indicator, in which pressing the start button completes the test and gives the result in N/mm² and kg/cm². It is offered in 1000, 2000 and 3000 kN capacities, uses a 0.55 kW single phase AC motor driving a dual pump with rapid approach, and has an in-built portable printer, RS232 data download and transparent safety doors.

What Is the Semi-Automatic Compression Testing Machine Used For?
Compression machines of this kind crush cubes, cylinders and other samples to find the stress at which they fail. The operator enters the sample details through the menu, so that the HMI can work out peak stress from the sample type, shape and area, sets the sample between the platens with distance pieces as needed and closes the front and rear safety doors. After start is pressed, the rapid approach pump closes the daylight and the pace rate is then held with the manual controller, guided by the pace rate bar on the screen. At failure the peak load and peak stress are shown, stored under a record number and printed or downloaded through RS232.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which capacities are available?
The machine is available in capacities of 1000, 2000 and 3000 kN, each with a two column plate type frame and a hydraulic power pack.
How is the test run?
Once the sample details are entered, pressing only the start button completes the test, with the touch screen showing the final result in N/mm² and kg/cm².
What does the touch screen HMI show?
It displays actual load, peak load, peak stress, the record number, total sample area and sample number, together with time in seconds and the pace rate in kN/sec.
How are results printed or transferred?
Results can be printed on the in-built portable printer, and test data can be downloaded through an RS232 interface for keeping on a computer.
What safety features are fitted?
A safety maximum pressure valve prevents overloading, the piston stroke has a safety limit switch, and removable transparent front-rear safety doors enclose the test space.
What motor and pump drive the machine?
A dual pump is driven by a 0.55 kW AC motor for a 220 V (110 V), 50-60 Hz single phase supply, with single and double speed pumping for rapid approach.
