Electromechanical UTM Versa Pro

Until now Universal Test Machines for asphalt mix and unbound materials could be divided into three types – pneumatic, hydraulic, and modified AMPTs. The Electromechanical UTM Versa Pro with Versa Motion Test System (VMTS), powered by eMotion Technology and controlled by the industry-leading cDAC data acquisition and control system, supported by dedicated DIMENSION asphalt testing software combines the best features of the three other machine types to create the perfect solution for testing laboratories.
With the UTM VersaPro, you can easily and accurately perform both research level and standard asphalt mixture and unbound material tests at affordable prices and in an eco-friendly environment.

Main Features

• Electromechanical actuator EMT1 with 150mm stroke replaces pneumatic or hydraulic loading actuator ensures minimal subframe and specimen movement, more stable set up, better secured LVDTs and other transducers
• Test frequency range from static to 100Hz
• Compatible with our standard temperature- controlled cabinet with temperature range –25°C to +70° [1]
• Easily interchangeable LVDTs and other transducers with uniform plug and play connections
• Standard and bespoke testing procedures – static, dynamic, compressive, tensile
• Ambient temperature-dependent. Testing temperature is subject to actuator and test fixtures’ temperature range limitations.

Main Applications

• Superpave+ Performance Testing
• Asphalt mix design
• Quality Control
• Recycled Materials Studies
• Additive performance evaluation

Key Benefits

• With an industry first 150mm stroke actuator you can perform variety of tests without crosshead adjustment. This is the perfect platform to be used with your existing test fixtures and temperature control.
• Hydraulic performance for pneumatic price
• Plug & play adaptable and expandable system
• Easily interchangeable cutting edge TEDs technology enables transducers to be swapped between channels and even cDAC boxes, as the calibration stays with the transducer. Connect any load cell, LVDT, extensometer, strain gauge or other types of transducer to cDAC. Record crack progression with software triggered photos for digital image analysis.
