C121-52Electric switch for the piston
This electric switch is fixed on the compression frame to cut off mains and to stop the machine when the maximum stroke of the piston is achieved. It can be installed only on digital compression machines.

C111-22Distance pieces for 1300, 1500, 2000, 3000 kN ASTM
( Concrete )
Used to reduce the vertical clearance between the compression platens, according to the height of the specimen to be tested, to prevent piston overtravel. The distance pieces are placed between the ram and the lower compression plate.
Steel distance pieces are placed under the compression machine’s lower platen, to reduce the vertical daylight.
The number in brackets indicates the height of each distance piece included in the code (note that a code may contain more than one item).
C112-10Upper and lower compression platens with seat ball
( Concrete )
Upper and lower compression platens, complete with ball seating, for tests on blocks. Two different sizes available:

SSW-LINKFirmware Upgrade for SmartLab Software
( Soil Cement-Mortar Concrete )
One software for multiple tests SmartLab has been developed with a modular and flexible approach to allow each laboratory to configure the software to its specific needs.
By using a Matest digital controller and a suitable firmware upgrade (SSW-LINK), any testing machines – including those from other brands – can be connected to the SmartLab platform and begin running a test. To use the SmartLab software, it is necessary to purchase the firmware license which unlocks up to 3 machines.
SmartLab can execute the following tests:
- Automatic and Manual Oedometric test;
- Automatic and Manual Shear test;
- Triaxial test;
- Compression test on concrete;
- Flexural test on concrete;
- Indirect tensile on concrete;
- Compression test on cement and mortar;
- Flexural test on cement and mortar.
