Automatic Vicat X6

Our 6-station Vicat testing device features twelve independent Vicat molds, each capable of precise initial and final setting time measurements. With variable dynamic impact control, each mold can be tested independently and simultaneously, offering customizable test intervals tailored to specific testing requirements. This flexibility allows for the testing of different samples at different times, accommodating varying cement types and testing schedules.

The device captures the entire chronological sequence of the setting process, not just the traditional ‘start of setting’ and ‘end of setting’ values. This comprehensive evaluation is essential for understanding the setting behavior of modern construction materials, which often feature special properties requiring detailed analysis.

Equipped with advanced software developed by the Vector, the device enables real-time monitoring of all tests on a single screen. The software records each impact’s temperature and penetration depth with an impressive accuracy of 0.1mm, providing detailed data for in-depth analysis. It supports dynamic adjustment of penetration step times based on automatic detection of the setting time, offering a high level of control and precision.

The device allows for both dry and underwater testing. Underwater testing offers the advantage of maintaining optimal environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, which are critical factors in accurate cement testing. The integrated water tank with circulation and drainage ports ensures a stable temperature in the test chambers, and the device records the water temperature at every test impact.

Safety and ease of maintenance are integral to the device’s design. All moving parts are equipped with safety sensors to prevent operation outside specified limits. The drop system uses contactless sensors for reliable performance, and the automatic needle cleaning system prevents mortar residue build-up, allowing for quick and easy needle replacement. Needle drop height adjustments can be made directly from the software, enhancing user convenience.

The user-friendly software generates comprehensive PDF reports, capturing the start, end, and duration of all tests. It includes fields for operator and company details and allows for logo insertion, ensuring that reports are professional and personalized. With the ability to save unlimited test results, labs can easily track and compare data over time. USB connectivity facilitates secure and straightforward data transfer, and the software’s password protection enhances security.

Our device is fully compliant with EN 196-3 and ASTM C191 standards, with free-fall needle weight and dimensions aligned accordingly. Users can configure the number of impacts and starting positions via the software, with each mold customizable for specific cement and water mix recipes.

The device also captures false final setting times, ensuring accuracy in all measurements. Additional software features can be added upon user request, making the device customizable to meet specific testing needs.

Device comes with comprehensive support, including warranty and spare parts guarantee. Full software and technical service support are provided, ensuring that your investment is protected and that your lab can operate with confidence.

Our Advanced 6-Station Automatic Vicat Testing Device redefines efficiency and accuracy in cement consistency and setting time testing. By automating the testing process and providing precise, reliable measurements, it helps laboratories enhance productivity while maintaining strict adherence to industry standards. Experience the future of cement testing with a device engineered for excellence.
