Fully Automatic Dedicated System for Physical Property Testing 。

The system breaks away from the traditional manual operation mode of cement mortar testing, integrating advanced mechanical transmission, intelligent recognition, automatic control, and data‑interconnection technologies to establish… Unmanned automated operation, end-to-end closed-loop control, and precise traceability of test data. A modernized testing system. The system can fully automate the entire testing process, from cement mortar molding and curing to specimen breaking, thereby completely eliminating test deviations caused by human error, reducing labor input, and enhancing both testing accuracy and operational efficiency. It provides core equipment support for achieving digital and intelligent upgrades in the physical‑property testing stage of cement enterprises.

The system automatically performs sample preparation and molding, curing, and crushing tests. After intelligent data storage and standardized processing, the test results are synchronized in real time to the enterprise data platform and visualization terminals, providing a clear, end-to-end view of cement and clinker physical‑strength testing. This enables monitoring of the testing process, traceability of test data, and analysis of test outcomes.

Core Design Principles

This system adheres to Unmanned, intelligent, and information-based Adopting a centralized control design philosophy, it establishes a highly automated inspection workflow:

1. One-click start, fully autonomous throughout the entire process. : Prior to testing, after manual confirmation of the baseline parameters, the system automatically monitors equipment operating status and displays process parameters in real time, eliminating the need for manual intervention throughout the entire process.
2. Automatic closed-loop, with results delivered directly. : The system automatically performs the entire testing process, calculates the age automatically, and directly outputs the test data upon completion.
3. Modular layout, flexible management It adopts a modular, workstation‑based design, supporting both independent subsystem operation and integrated system coordination, enabling seamless switching between automated and manual modes to accommodate diverse production and inspection requirements.

Overall System Layout

This system employs Three separate compartments, modular integration The scientific layout is divided into Sample preparation room, curing room, and crushing room Three independent functional zones, each with its own sub‑station system, can both collaborate seamlessly to perform end-to-end testing and operate independently for standalone control, thereby optimally accommodating the laboratory’s on-site installation and operational requirements.

1. The three major functional zones utilize intelligent conveyor belts and robotic arms to handle sample transfer, enabling fully enclosed, automated handling throughout the entire process.
2. The specimen is prepared using QR code + digital encoding Dual-identification technology ensures end-to-end information linkage from sample preparation to digestion, effectively preventing sample mix-ups.
3. Each substation system supports independent automated operation, and individual equipment can also be operated manually, meeting the requirements of commissioning, maintenance, and emergency operations.

System Architecture and Workflow

(1) Sample Preparation Room: Fully Automated Sample Preparation Workstation

The sample preparation room serves as the system’s core unit for specimen preparation, with equipment arranged in a compact configuration around an intelligent robotic arm and equipped with a dedicated safety‑operator access corridor, enabling efficient, enclosed, and standardized sample‑preparation operations. Core equipment : Material feeding equipment, mixing and vibrating compaction equipment, leveling equipment, test mold storage equipment, constant temperature and humidity equipment, human–machine interaction equipment, inkjet coding equipment, demolding, cleaning, and lubrication equipment, mold assembly and oiling equipment, and intelligent robots. Work Process : The sealed‑barrel scanner reads the QR code on the barrel body → the system automatically retrieves the corresponding material information → batching, mixing, vibration compaction, and surface leveling are performed according to standard proportions → wet curing is carried out → molds are demolded, cleaned, and reassembled → digital codes are automatically sprayed onto the sides of test specimens → the specimens are conveyed via a conveyor belt directly to the curing room.

(2) Curing Room: Intelligent Constant-Temperature Curing Workstation

The curing room is a dedicated curing unit for test specimens, featuring a standard curing tank that has been redesigned and optimized. It offers self‑cleaning, automated water supply and drainage, and precise temperature control, ensuring that curing conditions fully comply with national standards. Core equipment : Pond maintenance module, intelligent conveyor belt, transfer robot, automatic water pumping and draining module, and precision temperature control module. Work Process : The curing room automatically scans the digital code of each specimen, confirms the specimen information, and precisely places it into the curing tank. Curing under constant temperature and humidity is then carried out according to the national standard procedure. Once the specified age is reached, a robotic arm automatically picks up the specimen and transports it to the testing room.

(3) Breakage Interval: Fully Automatic Strength Testing Workstation

The fracture zone serves as the final testing unit for the specimen, equipped with a specially designed flexural and compressive testing machine and fixtures, featuring an automatic cleaning function to fully automate flexural and compressive strength tests. Core equipment : Fully automatic flexural testing machine, compressive strength testing machine, intelligent transport robot, and automatic cleaning device. Work Process : Scan the QR code to identify the specimen’s digital code → The system automatically executes the failure‑mode testing procedure → Completes flexural and compressive strength tests → Test data is uploaded in real time and stored automatically. Features and Benefits : Supports standalone workstation operation and manual control of individual devices, ensuring stable testing and accurate results.
