• Can pilot up to 60 ACE EmS units from one single PC with user able to select single or multiple unit batches.
• Once the software is installed and linked to the first ACE EmS, it is easy to add more units by enabling the associated LAN communication (IP address) without complications or costs.
• Calibrations of displacement transducers and load cells are stored as txt file and easy to recall, up to 10 calibration points can be recorded for each channel.

• Oedometer test results are saved and displayed in real-time, speeding data capture.
• Results are then processed using Wykeham Farrance (WF)’s easy-to-use Geo-Analysis templates, written by experts around international standards allowing you to concentrate on analyzing your materials; not on programing your testing machine.

• Standard WF consolidation cells from 50.47 to 112.80mm dia. normally used with front loading oedometer can also be used with the ACE EmS.

• ASTM D2435 – Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Consolidation Properties of Soils Using Incremental Loading
• ASTM D4546 – Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Swell or Collapse of Soils
• ASTM D3877 – Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Expansion, Shrinkage, and Uplift Pressure of Soil-Lime Mixtures 
• BS 1377:5 – Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes. Compressibility, permeability and durability tests
• EN 17982:5 – Geotechnical investigation and testing. Laboratory testing of soil. Incremental loading oedometer test

Complete configuration is composed by:

• ACE EmS
• PC software or Touch screen display ( see accessories)  
• Consolidation cell (see accessories) 
• Template for data processing ( see accessories) 

• Versatile fully automatic Oedometer soil consolidation testing machine featuring incremental loading, swelling, CRS (constant rate of strain), CHG (controlled hydraulic gradient) and unconfined test.
• Environmentally friendly and quiet — the ACE EmS benefits from the new Electromechanical Servoactuation (EmS) technology requiring no dead weights or large & noisy air compressors, thus drastically reducing noise levels.
• Modular and expandable, gradually connect up to 60 units via LAN port using the same PC software allowing you to build your laboratory without interruption — resulting in excellent return on investments.
• Small footprint featuring a benchtop shorter than 50 cm.
• Highly performant with load capacity of up to 20 kN, equivalent to 10,000 kPa on 50.47mm Oedometer consolidation cell.
• Optimized PID closed-loop control delivering fast, smooth and accurate loading and precise load holding through the multiple test steps.
• Optional local user interface with 6” touch screen high resolution color display allowing full control of a single unit, without a PC, including full test execution. USB pen drive included for unlimited storage, TXT format data output.
