Automatic Direct and Residual Shear System (ShearSCAN Pro)

The VJ Tech ShearSCAN Pro is equipped with stepper motors and applies vertical and horizontal loads to the sample.

Its advanced electronics facilitate a range of tests:

  • Standard Shear Testing: The system supports both direct and residual shear testing.
  • Oedometer Testing: This is enabled through the use of a provided adaptor, which requires the csOEDO module.

When coupled with VJ Tech’s Advanced Shear Module (csCONSHEAR), the ShearSCAN Pro is capable of performing:

  • Three Consolidation Modes: Offering varied options for sample preparation.
  • Three Vertical Control Methods (during Shear): These include Constant Normal Stress, Height, and Stiffness control, providing flexibility in test parameters.
  • Shear Testing Flexibility: Users can choose between speed control and stress control methods for shear testing, it also allows them to run slow cyclic testing.
SKU: VJ2585 Category:
  • Integrates a compact submersible load cell positioned close to the sample rather than using an external load cell to measure shear load.
  • Supports standard Direct Shear tests, as well as, advanced test types such as slow cyclic shear via our Clisp Studio Module (+/- 20mm travel from the mid-point of the sample).
  • Capable of performing Oedometer tests (requires additional components)
  • Compact tabletop design to minimise footprint
  • Multiple Units can be controlled from a single PC via a LAN or Ethernet/USB hub
  • Built-in logger allowing high-speed sensor data conversion (24-bit, up to 5000 samples/s)
  • Optional standalone use via Touchscreen display with data export to PC or a USB Drive
  • Built-in live data tables and graphs for immediate analysis and real-time data visualization
  • Built-in auto protection for mechanical limits & sensor limits
