Introduction

A robust precision-engineered steel structure incorporating the EmS Electromechanical servo-actuation mechanism for vertical load application and "Orbital" proprietary gyration and mould rotation system (Patent pending) delivering highly accurate and repeatabletest results, together with stiffness and angle stability values that fall comfortably within the limits defined in EN 12697-31.

The large 7" user-friendly integrated touchscreen control panel shows the test graph in real time.

The on-board firmware includes nine languages and also offers the option to control the tests from a PC.

A traceable calibration certificate conforming ASTM and AASHTO Standards is also included.

Operating principle

Standard specify the method for compaction of cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures using a gyratory compactor. Such compaction is achieved by combining a rotary shearing action with a vertical static force applied by a mechanical head.

The method can be used for:

● Preparation of specimens of a given height at a predetermined density, for subsequent testing of their mechanical properties;

● Derivation of a curve of density versus number of gyrations;

● Void content for a given number of gyrations.

Standards apply to bituminous mixtures (made either in laboratory or from on-site sampling), with aggregates not larger than 37.5 mm. During operation the bituminous mixture is contained in a cylindrical mould (100 or 150 mm diameter). Compaction is achieved by the simultaneous application of a low-static compression and a shearing action, which results in the motion of the centre-line of the test piece, which generates a conical surface of revolution while the ends of the test piece remain approximately perpendicular to the axis of the conical surface.

Galileo systems include a smart controller with a wide 7" 16:9 colour touch screen control panel. An intiutive and user friendly graphical interface with clear, high contrast design pictograms allows for:

● User to input of test parameters, choosing from preset pattern related to relevant standards or user customizable patterns. The servo-controlled operation of the machine allows vertical strss, rate of gyration and gyratory angle (Research version only) to be quickly modified from the control panel of the PC

● Displaying and plotting either height, load, density, hear stress, angle and compaction energy against gyratory cycles in real time. Test data may be stored and retrieved or transferred to other software analysis packages

● Calibrating of transducers with a highly accurate interpolation to assure the most precise data acquisition

● Diagnostic features to quickly check all the machine devices; moreover, the LAN/Ethernet communications port allows for direct remote connection via the intranet or internet for an immediate diagnostic analysis from manufacturer.

The software includes a wizard guided mode to help and assist the operator throughout the compaction procedure steps.
