BCO-FCO / LONG SAMPLE – FULL AUTOMATIC SEMATRON TOUCH CONTROLLED SERVO-HYDRAULIC FLEXURAL TEST MACHINE FOR LONG SAMPLES (BOTH COLUMN AND C-TYPE)
BESMAK® BCO-FO Series Flexural Test Machines are designed for determining the flexural strength of hardened concrete specimens. Each machine meets the accuracy requirements of Class 1 as per ISO 7500-1 and is configured to perform tests according to EN 12390-5 (concrete beam flexural strength), EN 1339 (concrete paving slabs), and EN 1340 (concrete kerbstones). With a load capacity up to 1000 kn. The BCO-FO series provides a safe and efficient solution for testing concrete beams, slabs, and other specimens in flexure, ensuring reliable results for quality control and design validation.

FRAME
- Rigid load frame in 4-column, C-type construction
- The columns are screwed free from play to the machine’s upper and lower blocks
- Suitable for testing long sample concrete beams, kerbs, interlocking pavers, flagstones and blocks of different size.
- All transmission surfaces are additionally plane – parallel – treated and fine machined
- T-Sloted Lower platen marked to allow distance of rollers interval.
- Rod type limit switch attached to piston for secure operations
- Single-acting-Spring Return or double acting type pistons machined from the solid metal for high stability
- At the end of the test process to start a new test the piston returns to the default position
CONTROL UNIT AND DISPLAY
- Fully automatic compression test machine with close-loop “Sematron Touch Series” advanced controller
- Controller has 1000 Hz (1 kHz) data acquisition-processing and automatic calibration feature (2,5 kHz option is available)
- Controller has 12 channels 4 analog, 4 digital and 4 serial.
- Automatic user-defined pace rate adjustment with high accuracy
- Users can hold the load at any desired point for a specific time
- Linux based 10 inch LCD touch screen with built-in test software
- Fast response real-time graphic display
LOAD MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL
Load measurement and control is carried out with a pressure sensor with a sensitivity of class 1 or better according to EN-ISO-7500-1 standard, starting from 1% of the capacity.
HYDRAULIC UNIT
Advanced hydraulic unit with multi-piston hydraulic pump driven by electrical motor, smooth and high flow rate, fast piston approach, with manifold and pressure limit valve, oil tank, comes with necessary joints.
