ToniNORM Powerbox, model 2013.010 contains the hydraulics and the electrical components

ToniTROL II, model 0560 Digital controller for the tasks: measuring, controlling, monitoring and evaluating of building materials testing machines.

Compression load frame, model 1546.0600 Load frame designed for compressive strength tests with a maximum load of 600 kN. Two column compact frame with vertical plunger drive. Directly integrated pressure plates made of hardened steel. Spherically seated upper pressure plate. Load measurement by precision load cell on DMS basis directly integrated into the flux of force.

 

Bending load frame, model 1544.00X0 (option)

Load frame designed for flexural strength tests with a maximum load of 10 kN, 20 kN or 50 kN. Two column compact frame with vertical plunger drive.
