LTB-6 Microcomputer-Controlled Electronic Rock Direct Shear Tester

Name: LTB-6 Microcomputer-Controlled Electronic Rock Direct Shear Tester
Brand: Laibote (Tianjin) Testing Machinery
Availability: InStock

Building on existing domestic and international products, this testing machine is a next-generation apparatus for rock and concrete testing, developed using dual‑channel AC servo motor drive technology (a domestic first), advanced sensor technology, microcomputer control, and sophisticated software processing. It is capable of conducting direct shear tests on rock structural planes—such as joint surfaces, bedding planes, foliation planes, and cleavage planes—as well as on the rock itself and on the interface between concrete or mortar and rock. Additionally, it can perform shear‑failure strength tests on the bonding interfaces between concrete and other materials.

LTB-6 Microcomputer-Controlled Electronic Rock Direct Shear Tester

Description

Product Introduction

The microcomputer-controlled electronic direct shear apparatus for rock was developed in accordance with the national industry standards SL 264‑2001, “Test Procedures for Rocks in Hydraulic and Hydroelectric Engineering,” and JTGE 41‑2005, “Test Procedures for Rocks in Highway Engineering.” Building on existing domestic and international products, this instrument incorporates a pioneering dual‑channel AC servo motor drive system, advanced sensor technology, microcomputer control, and sophisticated software processing—representing a new generation of testing equipment for rocks and concrete. It is suitable for conducting direct shear tests on rock structural planes (such as joint surfaces, bedding planes, cleavage planes, and fracture surfaces), on the rock itself, and on the interface between concrete or mortar and rock; it can also be used to determine the shear‑failure strength of interfaces between concrete and other materials. This testing device has been carefully designed based on feedback from both engineering application and research communities, addressing the inherent drawbacks of conventional electro‑hydraulic servo systems—namely, instability, oil leakage, and high, difficult‑to‑remedy failure rates. The machine features a compact structure, an aesthetically pleasing design, simple maintenance, and user‑friendly operation. The entire testing process can be fully automated via microcomputer under Windows. With AC servo‑based load application, normal‑force control is more precise, stable, and smooth. Key features include:
