Description

The new Vicamatic/A machine has been completely redesigned. As with the older generations, the test procedure is unchanged where a needle (or a probe) drops freely into a cement sample at regular intervals and in fixed positions. Penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0.1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, when it matches some thresholds pre-defined by Standards initial and final setting times are measured and recorded.

Main Features

  • New functional and ergonomic design
  • Advanced electronics technologies providing superior performances and total flexibility combined with simplicity in use
  • Easy-to-use double interface: local mode, with large size 4.3" touch screen color display, and remote mode, with PC
