CONTROLS have long tradition in manufacturing automatic setting time testers for cement and mortar. A new generation, the fourth one, is now available, featuring a large color 5.1” touch screen display. As with the older generations the test procedure is unchanged, a needle (or a probe) drops freely into a cement sample at regular intervals and in ?xed positions. Penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0,1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, when it matches some thresholds pre- defined by Standards initial and final setting times are measured and recorded.
- Advanced electronics technologies providing superior performances and total flexibility combined with simplicity in use Easy-to-use double interface: local mode, with large size 5.1" touch screen color display, and remote mode, with PC Supplied complete with PC software for data processing VICASOFT-BASIC
- With PC software VICASOFT-PREMIUM (optional) up to 32 indipendent units (includign VICAMATIC 2 models) can be connected t
- single PC via LAN port and hub. All units are remotely controlled. Adopting the multi-test network concept laboratory productivity is maximized
- Integrated graphic printer is available as optional accessory showing both results in numerical format and setting time plot Easy setting and storage of user-defined test profiles allowing quick test start
