Every system we ship can be installed and commissioned on your site by our own engineers. The procedure below is the standard sequence we follow: most single-machine installations are completed in one to two working days, and a complete laboratory line takes three to five.
-
1
Site and utility preparation
Before dispatch we send a site checklist covering floor loading, power supply, compressed air, drainage, ambient temperature and humidity. You confirm the figures and we confirm the machine layout drawing.
-
2
Unpacking and positioning
The machine is crated with shock indicators. Our engineer supervises unpacking, checks for transit damage and positions the unit on levelling feet or anchor bolts according to the layout drawing.
-
3
Mechanical and utility connection
Frames are levelled, fixtures and grips are mounted, and power, air and water lines are connected through the isolation devices specified in the manual.
-
4
Software, calibration and verification
Control software is installed and configured with your test methods and specimen templates. Load, displacement, pressure and temperature channels are verified against reference instruments and the readings are recorded in the acceptance protocol.
-
5
Operator training
Operators are trained on specimen preparation, method selection, daily checks and result interpretation, and each of them runs a complete test cycle unaided before the engineer leaves the site.
-
6
Acceptance and handover
A site acceptance test is performed against the agreed specification. The signed protocol, calibration certificates, spare parts list and electrical drawings are handed over for your quality system.
Site requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Power supply | AC 220 V or 380 V, 50/60 Hz, single or three phase according to model, with protective earth |
| Compressed air | 0.6 to 0.8 MPa, dry and oil-free, for pneumatic grips and clamping devices |
| Cooling water | 0.2 to 0.4 MPa, not above 25 °C, for hydraulic and high-temperature systems |
| Floor and space | Level concrete floor, at least 3 x 2 m clear area, loading of 500 kg/m2 or more |
| Environment | 10 to 35 °C, relative humidity up to 80 %, no corrosive gas and no strong vibration |
Service around the installation
Remote commissioning
Where travel is restricted we commission over a video link: our engineer guides your technician through the same checklists and signs off the protocol remotely.
Spare parts and consumables
Wear parts, grips, seals, sensors and heating elements are kept in stock for at least ten years after delivery.
Preventive maintenance
Annual service visits cover calibration, mechanical inspection and software updates, and a service report is issued for your quality records.
Plan your installation
Send us the model list and your site address and we will confirm the schedule, the engineer assigned and the documents you need for customs and site access.
