Compression Test Machine ALPHA 1-2000

Test Facilities

  • geotechnical Institutes
  • tunnel construction
  • soil and rock mechanics

Application

  • determination of rock-mechanical parameters such as uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and lateral extension ratio
  • stress deformation behaviour
  • determination of the crevice tensile strength

Description

  • individual components test frame and drive station with integrated hydraulics, fast-reacting digital controller and user-friendly test software are removed and connected with each other depending on the configuration.  This allows the user a wide range of configuration levels and options.

  • 4-column load frame with extremely high longitudinal and lateral stiffness to keep material expansion as low as possible during the first specimen fracture

  • the machine columns are screwed backlash-free to the machine base and top

  • machine base and top made of solid material, all contact surfaces are precisely mechanically processed

  • machine columns in chrome-plated design

  • servo-hydraulically controlled low-friction test cylinder with force transducer for exact and precise test control and evaluation
  • ergonomic test chamber height
  • safeguard

Drive & Control

  • drive station for automatic force control in a closed servo-hydraulic control loop
  • PROTEUS test software for simple test control and evaluation

Options / Accessories

  • test frame with adjustable test chamber height

  • drive-in aids for specimens and fixtures

  • triaxial cell for triaxial strength tests on rock samples

  • extra stiff test frame uniaxial / triaxial tests
  • longitudinal and lateral strain measurement equipment
  • drive station AS with powerful separate hydraulic unit
  • analysis software
