Technical Overview & Engineering Design
Designed for commercial geotechnical laboratories and university research facilities, the Exel Scientific Automated Direct Shear System combines dead-weight / pneumatic vertical loading with micro-stepper horizontal displacement control. The modular shear box accommodates standard 60mm square, 60mm round, and 100mm circular specimens. Integrated software logs consolidation curves (t50, t90) and automates shear rate selection.
