Operation principle
The machine is controlled by the automatic console. The 2000 kN capacity frame meets the requirements of EN Standards and accepts the range of on-board accessories.
As the second outlet control port is connected to the 250 kN load frame, attachment of a flexural frame is not possible. The 250 kN frame is supplied complete with compression jig, 40 mm, 50 mm/2.0 inch square platens and meets the requirements of EN 196-1.
When selecting the frame to be used for testing the automatic changeover valve incorporated in the system delivers the hydraulic fluid to that frame.
User interface
The new ADR Touch Control Pro has an improved user interface providing a high quality platform for testing that will enhance the performance of our compression machines. It now has a larger 7-inch colour touch screen with a higher definition display, allowing easier observation of test progress. A favourites option is also available, allowing users to save the most common set-ups for immediate access, without the need for navigating through selection menus.
User flexibility
The ADR Touch Control Pro has a unique flexible head with rotation capabilities of 75-degrees and a 45-degree tilt, improving usability and comfort for individual users. It is available with four languages English, Spanish, Portuguese and French, making it even more user-friendly and accessible to a wider audience. The new LAN connectivity feature lets the operator use the PC based APP (ELE Logger) to download test results away from the test area. User flexibility has also increased with the new ADR Touch Control Pro as it can now be operated remotely, so tests can be initiated away from the test area. Many issues can be resolved quickly by our service team through the new remote diagnostics feature and updating to the latest version of software has never been easier.
Compatibility
The all new dual sensor capabilities allow users to test both concrete and cement samples on one frame. The ADR Touch Control Pro is compatible with all existing compression frames and upgrade kits are also available. The upgrade kits can be used to convert existing ADR-Auto consoles to the new Automatic Digital Control Readout
Testing times
The new generation ADR Compression Machines have an increased control over the pace rate, which allows users to run the pace rate higher than average, but still within standard. This produces an average time saving of 10% for a typical 150mm cube sample.
Electrical
Reduced component count and no wire design results in increased reliability and serviceability. New low voltage interlocks and e-stop has increased safety. The ADR Touch Control Pro has the latest Arm Core Processor technology which has improved the processing power and speed.
