The new generation of `Drive` instruments is the result of 40 years of experience in the measurement of rheology of rubber and incorporates the most modern technologies regarding mechanical construction, measurement sensors and control software. Have a look at the movie.

Automatic sample loader
The device allows to position 5 test pieces on the loading slide and automatically perform the tests on all the samples.

Before starting a test, the software automatically regulates the instrument according to the test conditions required for the next sample in the queue.

When the test conditions are within the expected tolerance limits, the sample loader moves the sample in the right position and starts the test.

Save your time: use the Sample Loader

Instrument Control Panel
The instrument is equipped with a large touch-screen display with dimensions 10.2“.

The buttons on the display permit to start and stop the tests.

The display provides complete information about the status of the instrument: connection to the software, temperature of the dies, diagnostic of the sensors installed.

Touch-screen display: everything at your fingertips

Light panel
A light panel, installed in the front part of the instrument, changes the color and permits to check the status of the instrument from a distance. The indicator light identifies the following statuses: Instrument ready, instrument under test, instrument setting test temperature, no specimen in the queue (with autoloader).

Test dies
Pressurized test chamber conforming to the international standards.

Specifically designed Low-friction and Long-Life seals permit to perform up to 10.000 tests and minimize maintenance needs.

The micrometric adjustment of the distance between the chambers is carried out independently by the exclusive mechanical adjustment vernier. The device allows you to easily adjust the thickness of the specimen to meet the requirements of ISO 6502-3.

The thermal insulators, used to avoid heat transmission, have been chosen for their excellent mechanical characteristics and low thermal conductivity.

The insulators are coated with a surface treatment based on fluorinated polymers, which ensures extremely high resistance to chemical agents and ease of cleaning.

High Resistenace Seals = Less Maintenance

Temperature regulation
The regulation of the temperature is performed using thermo-regulators with PID micro-processor and with 0.1°C resolution.

Independent temperature control units ensure sophisticate temperature control and easy replacement in case of failure.

Electrical heating resistances have been specifically designed for this instrument to ensure quick and efficient heating.

The test chambers are equipped with a compressed air cooling circuit, controlled by the temperature control units, which allows rapid temperature reduction.

Torque Calibrator Supplied
The supplied torque calibrator allows the user to periodically check the torque reading of the instrument.

The calibration wizard inside the software:

• Requires the insertion of the calibrator between the instrument surfaces
• Waits for the thermal conditioning of the instrument
• Performs the comparison between the instrument measurement and the calibrator torque value
• Requires removal of the calibrator after verification
