SEMI AUTOMATIC COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE AZA1138

The Azalab AZA1138 Semi Automatic Compression Testing Machine is engineered for high-precision compressive strength testing of concrete cubes, cylinders, blocks, and pavers. Designed for construction quality control, laboratory testing, R&D, and compliance verification, this 2000 kN (200-ton) unit offers the perfect balance between automation and operator oversight.

Built to comply with ASTM C39, EN 12390-4, and IS 516, the AZA1138 ensures accurate, repeatable, and traceable strength measurements essential for modern infrastructure and structural design.

The machine features a motorized hydraulic power pack, automatic pace-rate control, and a digital load display with peak-hold functionality. This reduces operator dependency, minimizes human error, and increases throughput in busy laboratories. A heavy-duty four-column or C-frame structure ensures rigidity and minimal deflection under full load. All platens are precision-ground and hardened to ensure uniform stress distribution.

The semi-automatic system automatically regulates loading rate while allowing the operator to initiate and stop tests via a user-friendly control panel. Optional PC connectivity allows for data logging, reporting, and seamless integration into lab workflows.
