Tabletop testers feature detachable actuator
Offerings include an actuator/controller-only configuration (no load frame) and a two-column model for use with ovens and large samples
Digital controller for materials testing
Full-function, self-contained test controller for new and retrofit applications is designed for both manually operated and servo-equipped electromechanical and hydraulic testing machines
Managing concrete evidence
Software manages the entire concrete testing and certification process with automatic generation of compressive strength reports and posting of results to private web portals
Available as a standalone machine with a digital controller or with Admet's Mtest Windows materials testing system, the load frame can be configured for tension, compression and bend tests ranging from less than 0.5 450kg.
Expert 450x offers what are said to be unique features.
Removable digital controller - by enabling users to remove and relocate the controller from the base, Admet facilitates testing materials in wet or dusty/abrasive environments that may damage the electronics.
Actuator bellows seal kit - The Expert 450x, with a top-mounted actuator, accepts an optional neoprene bellows seal kit that completely protects the actuator from liquid, dust or fiber infiltration.
This feature substantially reduces maintenance and maintains accuracy in harsh environments.
This contrasts with typical unprotected or track-mounted 'accordion' bellows on load frames that allow infiltration.
Horizontal operation - once the controller has been removed from the base, the Expert 450x can be operated in a horizontal position.
This offers users greater flexibility in positioning and testing materials.
Several load-speed ranges - The Expert 450x is offered with three different motor/gear packages that affect the load capacity and maximum speed of the machine.
The Expert 450x universal testing machine is priced starting at $3750, and is available immediately from ADMET and its representatives.
