The Autoshear is an automatic machine for direct/residual shear testing incorporating a high-resolution stepper motor fitted with a high precision load transfer mechanism. The user can — via a large 6" touch screen colour display — start, pause and stop the test, select the data-recording mode, view the readings and diagrams during the test execution and carry out the transducers calibration.
