5941 Cooper Technology, among the leaders in the design and manufacture of computercontrolled testing equipment for asphaltic and unbound materials, has unveiled its next generation of intelligent technology.

New developments to the pioneering company's standalone four-point bending beam (BB) machine SA4PT Control Unit MKII that facilitates the rapid throughput of modulus and fatigue tests, now integrates the fully automated software of the Beam Flex V3 1.0.

This cutting edge software enables fully automated frequency sweeps through automatic beam clamping to dramatically increase test throughput and virtually eliminate any chance of operator error.

According to the company reliability and serviceability performance is greatly improved saving expensive testing time and delivering fast results. UK-based Cooper Technology was established in 1990 and designs and manufactures high performance testing equipment for asphaltic and unbound materials used in highway construction. Its product range includes gyratory compactors, and roller compactors to prepare and compact specimens in addition to servo hydraulic and servo pneumatic universal testers, triaxial testers, fatigue systems and wheel trackers to perform standards.

  • HP series – strong pneumatic-tyre rollers with many options are performing impressively
    September 15, 2021
    The pneumatic-tyre rollers from the HP series have been on the market across the world for several months and are showing what they can do in practice. This is a completely new generation of pneumatic-tyre rollers, which have been a permanent feature of HAMM's product range since the 1960s. The new HP series model stands out thanks to the large, newly designed water tank. Like the diesel tank, it is generously dimensioned so that the machines have sufficient capacity for a full working day without stopping to refill. For this reason alone, the rollers are already extremely productive
