AQUATest 642 represents a modern second generation of equipment for the Jominy end-quench hardenability test of steel, developed in compliance with ČSN EN ISO 642 – Steel: End-quench test for hardenability, including its international equivalents ISO 642, ASTM A255 and JIS G 0561, which define methods for determining steel hardenability by end-quenching. The device builds on proven LABORTECH solutions and offers a higher level of automation, precision and safety. The modern EDICE 30 design is complemented by a 7″ LCD touchscreen, enabling intuitive operation and clear monitoring of all operating and diagnostic functions.

The system features central water flow control combined with a controlled pump, ensuring a stable, standard-defined flow rate essential for accurate and repeatable Jominy testing. Integrated temperature monitoring continuously controls the inlet medium temperature and minimizes deviations affecting test accuracy. The device can be optionally extended with a water heating system up to 60 °C, always supplied with an integrated safety protective cover to eliminate the risk of scalding. AQUATest 642 is available in versions for both European and American markets and is delivered with a Declaration of Conformity and complete technical documentation.

Thanks to its capabilities, it is intended for steelmaking and metallurgical plants, heat treatment facilities, research institutes and university laboratories where precise, fast and repeatable evaluation of steel hardenability according to Jominy is required.

TEAM LABORTECH

LABORTECH once again confirms its position as a leader in testing technology by introducing the next models of the new generation of hydraulic power units – HAS NEO. These units are designed primarily for static and servo-hydraulic testing machines and offer a combination of modern design, high safety, efficient performance and exceptionally low noise. Development focused on intensive engineering work aimed at maximum modularity, easy operation and low operating costs, meeting the current requirements of modern laboratories and industrial environments.

 

The new exterior design is based on the EDICE 30 concept, giving the unit a compact, ergonomic and easily manageable character. HAS NEO is equipped with advanced SIMATIC NEED and SIMATIC HALT diagnostics, enabling continuous monitoring of operating conditions, evaluation of machine status and early detection of anomalies. This significantly reduces unplanned downtime and ensures high operational reliability even in demanding conditions.

A major advantage of this generation is expandability. HAS NEO can be equipped with additional cooling, control of hydraulic grips up to 450 bar, electronic pressure adjustment and other functions according to specific application requirements. The hydraulic circuit is designed with an emphasis on ecology – reduced oil consumption and lower energy demand contribute to overall operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Low noise levels are a remarkable benefit. Sound-insulated covers and optimized pump operation create a comfortable working environment and reduce operator fatigue. High-quality components and intelligent diagnostics simplify maintenance, extend service life and further reduce operating costs.

HAS NEO hydraulic power units are an ideal solution not only for new LABORTECH testing machines, but also for modernization of existing equipment. By combining ergonomics, high performance, ecological efficiency and quiet operation, they provide outstanding solutions for static material testing, testing presses and other applications where long-term reliability, efficiency and operator comfort are essential.
