COMPUTER CONTROLLED DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM

SCM3000 is a Computer controlled digital system able to conduct the test either in stroke control or in load control or in strain control modes. Test can be force controlled maintaining the load rate constant in time. The ECH/FR proposed version has also the possibility of position control by using a linear (Baluff or equivalent) displacement sensor (250mm) attached to the piston of the hydraulic actuator or an strain sensor (strain gage, LVDT gage, etc.) connected to the electronic system through a signal conditioning. The SCM3000 system included in this proposal includes the transducer signal conditioners for load (force transducers), stroke (inductive sensor in the cylinder) and external strain sensors (LVDT gages and strain gages), to provide high accuracy, low drift and low noise transducer signal with standard filters.

Computer included with at least these specifications: MICROTEST will provide latest computer system at least based on Intel processor, 4GB RAM, 250 GB HDD with touch screen monitor and support (Windows 7 or latest)

SERVO HYDRAULIC TEST SYSTEM ECH/3000

The controller has the possibility for limiting the load applied during specimen setup. The load threshold is user adjustable The system acts in two ways in this case: by limiting the applied load by the use of user adjustable alarms (typically maximum/minimum force) and by limiting the maximum applied pressure by the Hydraulic Power Supply unit In addition the system has a general limit for all the controlling channels, for the maximum load for the load cell (full scale limit). The controller has at least two limits per connected transducer. The hydraulic system consists of hydraulic power pack which gives a continuous non pulsating flow of a minimum of oil pressure up to 240 bar
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS )is recommended to provide power to the servo controller and PC in safe system operation and shut-down.
