Load Frame, Master Loader Plus, Elite Series, 15000 lbf (68KN)

The New HM-5035.3F Master Loader Plus is ideal for just about any application from road construction to high-volume commercial and educational laboratories, which require higher loading capacities up to 15000 lbf (68KN), such as those involving larger sized samples of aggregate/asphalt/soil or mixtures. Its wider stance, and large vertical and horizontal clearances, allows it to accommodate large samples.

Its heavy-duty design and precise stepper-motor control provide a stable platform for years of reliable service allowing the HM-5035.3F to perform any tests required up to its load capacity of 15000 lbf (68KN). Like all Elite Series load frames, the HM-5035.3F is built around Humboldt's integral, 4-channel data logger with touch-screen control, which allows the load frame to be used as a standalone device capable of full test control and data logging. It can also be controlled by a networked computer at any location with access to the network.

Humboldt's HM-5035.3F Can Run The Following Tests:

• CBR
• LBR
• MARSHALL
• TSR
• SCB TEST AASHTO METHOD
• SCB TEST ASTM METHOD
• IDEAL-CT
• HVEEM AASHTO METHOD
• HVEEM ASTM METHOD
• HVEEM COLORADO METHOD
• R-VALUE
• EXUDATION
• USER DEFINED TEST for: Unconfined (UC), Unconsolidated Undrained (UU), Consolidated Undrained (CU), Consolidated Drained (CD)

The HM-5035.3F provides four (4) integral and independent data acquisition channels, which can be utilized in stand-alone configurations or accessed through a LAN-networked computer using Humboldt's Next Software. The HM-5035.3F load frame is built with durable, high-quality components and features the use of a stepper motor, precision gears and gear box to ensure smooth and reliable operation, as well as precise results.

In stand-alone mode, the HM-5035.3F load frame provides a 7" (178mm) touch-screen controller, giving you finger-tip control of your testing processes, as well as providing real-time, visual views of your data in both tabular and graphic formats. This waterproof, touch screen provides colorful, at-a-glance monitoring of testing functions without the use of a computer. Operators can see all the data in several formats at the machine while the test is running. Data can then be viewed simultaneously or downloaded later to a computer in the lab, in the next room or at a different location, while also providing report generation capabilities from within Humboldt's NEXT software or our enhanced test-specific modules.

Touch-Screen Controller Provides:

• 4-channel data acquisition
• Hi-res, 7", waterproof, touch-screen provides total control and real-time graphical display of tests
• Machine /Test control and data acquisition via touch-screen
• Control up to 4 different tests at the same time
• Calibration of channels to load cells, transducers and other suitable instruments
• Real-time graphical chart and numerical display of tests via touch-screen display
• Effective sampling rate of 50 readings per second
• Stores up to 1000 tests with 3000 points per test
• 2 USB ports. One in front for data transfer and the rear port is for powering a wireless access point.

When operated from a networked computer the NEXT software provides robust machine and test control, as well as report generation. It also provides the ability to control and monitor multiple machines from a single computer.

Humboldt's NEXT Software Provides:

• Machine control, and data acquisition via networked computer
• Provides the ability to use Next Software's, advanced test-specific modules
• Real-time graphical chart and numerical display of tests via computer display
• Effective sampling rate of 50 readings per second
• Stores unlimited tests with up to 3000 points per test.
• Up to 255 individual tests can be run simultaneously from a single PC
• Advanced, test-specific modules are available, which provide all the calculations and graphs required per testing standards
• Provides advanced graphing capabilities
• Provides full-unit customization
• Reports can also be exported to Excel or a CSV file, if desired, and, we can provide custom integration/export solutions for LIMS, EQuIS, gINT, etc.
