Description
The UNIFRAME-MINI machine is a fully automatic unit specifically designed for transverse deformation testing of tile adhesives and grouts in conformance with the stringent requirements of EN 12004.
Great attention has been given to the machine design, as shown by the high-stiffness frame which allows wide access to the test area, the robust loading anvil and supports, the easily readable touchscreen graphic display mounted at head-height and oriented towards the user at a comfortable angle, the appropriately positioned connection ports on the rear of the machine and the compact and ergonomic overall construction.
During operation, the machine measures the transverse deformation of a tile adhesive or grout strip specimen with prescribed dimensions (3mm thickness), whilst subjecting it to a 3-point bending load which is gradually increased in such a way that the transverse deformation is constant at 2mm/min. The test is completed when failure occurs.
The transverse deformation rate is automatically controlled by an advanced closed-loop controller based on a customized algorithm.
- Compact, solid and ergonomic design
- Class 1 accuracy (load and deformation)
- High productivity
- Fully automatic test cycle. The complete test cycle is automatically performed by simply pressing the start button. Correct test execution conforming to the reference Standard is continuously and automatically controlled.
- Soft roller-to-specimen contact and smooth load rate control from the very beginning of the ramp
- Connects to laboratory network via LAN port/software
- Allows remote verification of settings and performances and easy debugging of unexpected malfunctions
