Software UTM2 UTM2 software has been developed by Matest on


Windows platform to allow operators a better management
UNIvERSAL TESTING MACHINE 2 and control of the Matest digital testing machines.

Flexibility, operating rapidity, precision and automatic


data storage are the main features of the UTM2 software,
conceived for the management and the execution of the
most complex tests for all levels of operators experience.

UTM2 software includes pre-set test profiles, according to


the EN specifications and the most important International
Standards.

Easy to install and to use, UTM2 is the best solution for


anyone managing extensive production and for research
and testing laboratories.

System requirements
UTM2 licenses are available in different languages (Italian,
English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Czech, Slovak
and Turkish; other languages are available upon request),
and can be installed on the following operating systems:
Windows XP, Windows vista, Windows 7 and Windows
8 (upgrades would be available if new operating systems
were released).

n automatic identification of the machine connected to the PC;

n remote and interactive control of the testing machine;

n easy set up of the operations sequence of the test to be performed;

n customization of test profiles (data setting, properties of the measuring analogue channels and of the speed
charts); customization of colours and scales of the graphs and the screens activated; customization of test
certificates (document heading, date, test type, graph type and number of pages);
MAIN FEATURES
Software UTM2

n selection of the algorithms used by the software to process the results required by the Standards;

n visualization of the instant loads; instant definition of the load/deformation/stroke graph with zoom function on
the graphic points of interest; visualization of emergencies, alarms and possible errors;

n memorization of the test results into a database, that can be elaborated by the operator (test data can be
commented by means of text titles to be reported on the certificate or on the graph);

n data storage of all the parameters set for the test, with the possibility to process them again and manage the test
archive;

ARC - ELECTROMECHANICAL ASPHALT ROLLER COMPACTOR
B039
EN 12697-33
The machine has been developed and manufactured entirely by Matest. It works with an
electromechanical system and therefore it does not require any air source (compressor) or
hydraulic pressure.
It is used to produce representative sample slabs of several dimensions of bituminous mixtures
laid and compacted on site.
The compaction is performed through a segmented roller with alternated operated rotation which
simulates the on-site action of a street roller.
The compaction cycle can be programmed in accordance to a certain load or deformation value.
The flexibility of the program grants the production of samples with uniform density and
dimensions, fully meeting Standards specifications and research requirements; these samples
are compatible for rut test with Matest Wheel Tracking apparatus B038.
The sample slabs can be also cored or cut off to obtain cylinders and beams for bending fatigue,
indirect tensile, static and dynamic creep, stiffness, and 4-point tests.
Main features:
sturdy frame made of steel
electromechanical system
perfect horizontal flatness of the slab surface
uniform density and dimensions of the slabs
integrated touch screen control unit based on Windows operating system
