Connectivity Options

Our new range of automatic COMPACT-Line compression testers is the outcome of 50 years of innovation and technical leadership in concrete strength testing equipment and feedback from our customers and distributors. All our compression machines (except the Wizard Auto) have smart connectivity features that connect your compression machine to your laboratory infrastructure allowing:

- Direct inputs from any number of ancillary measuring systems and devices increasing efficiency and eliminating transposing errors during Sample Information Acquisition
- Connection of a high-resolution smart camera for Test Video Recording to obtain a verifiable audit trail.

Link-LAB Laboratory Connectivity Package - Sample Information Acquisition

Link-Lab connectivity package allows your machine to be an integrated part of your lab

Description

 

Our Link-Lab connectivity package allows PILOT PRO, AUTOMAX PRO, PRO-M and AUTOMAX Multitest to be an integrated part of your lab infrastructure to achieve two main objectives:

  • improve testing efficiency by taking inputs from ancillary devices (balances, calipers, barcode readers) to reduce manual data entry and to eliminate transposing errors during Sample Information Acquisition
  • improve testing transparency by connecting a high-resolution smart camera for Test Video Recording to obtain a verifiable audit trail 


The Link-LAB connectivity package is available in two versions:

  • LinK-LAB Local (*)available for systems that operate stand-alone using the controller only without a PC.
  • LinK-LAB Enterprise is available for new and existing systems controlled by PC via Datamanager Software.


Sample Information Acquisition
Both versions allow direct acquisition, according to the device/s connected, of sample weight, dimensions and identification number.
Compatible direct-input devices include: digital balances, calipers, ID barcode readers. See more information on the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

 

(*) Note: caliper and barcode cannot be both connected on the compression machine (Link-LAB Local), but on the PC (Link-Lab Enterprise)

Main Features

Direct inputs from ancillary devices (balances, calipers, barcode readers) during sample information acquisition is useful to:

  • achieve tidier operation increasing your testing efficiency
  • reduce manual data entry eliminating transposing errors.

Testview PRO - Laboratory Connectivity Package - Test Video Recording

Link-Lab connectivity package allows your machine to be an integrated part of your lab

Description

Our Link-Lab connectivity package allows PILOT PRO, AUTOMAX PRO, PRO-M and AUTOMAX Multitest to be an integrated part of your lab infrastructure to achieve two main objectives:

  • improve testing efficiency by taking inputs from ancillary devices (balances, calipers, barcode readers) to reduce manual data entry and to eliminate transposing errors during Sample Information Acquisition
  • improve testing transparency by connecting a high-resolution smart camera for Test Video Recording to obtain a verifiable audit trail.

Test Video Recording (available for Link-LAB Enterprise only)
Video recording helps to make your tests results 100% reliable and above all, transparent.

  • It proves the test has been performed
  • It provides test results that cannot be altered as the load and strength values are displayed in real-time and watermarked.
  • Recording can be automatically saved along with the test results in the PC software’s archive to be viewed and consulted by 3rd party engineers, clients, head-office and branches alike.


The video recording is available by fitting any CONTROLS machine controlled by PC via Datamanager software with our smart camera.

It is also possible to enable, in the Datamanager PC software, an extra module called SID READER that allows the smart camera, not only to record the test and test results, but also to read and recognize the barcode on the sample.

This is how it works:

  • Before testing begins, the Datamanager software connects to the smart camera to ensure the barcode on the sample matches the sample to be tested.
  • The sample ID, read by the camera, will be displayed during the test and recorded along with the date, time, elapsed time, load and strength values.
  • Testing is automatically carried out up to failure, without any operator’s interventions.
Main Features
    • Prove the test has been performed
    • Provide reliable test results that cannot be altered 
    • Record the test execution to be viewed by 3rd party engineers, clients, head-office and branches alike.
