Modernization of testing machines with DOLI® controllers using LabMaster testing software

Regardless of whether the EDC or EDCi controller is to be retained or replaced, Hegewald & Peschke offers straightforward modernization with the LabMaster test software.

The existing test software (such as Test&Motion) is replaced by our LabMaster test software, and your system is brought up to date with minimal effort.

What is achieved with software modernization:

Conversion to the current version of our LabMaster testing software if the existing control system is to continue to be used
New control system based on EDCi + current version of our LabMaster testing software if a complete replacement is advisable
If necessary, replacement of the drive train, new control system based on the EDCi controller + current version of our LabMaster testing software

The scope of the retrofit of your testing machine is determined on an individual basis. Our experienced specialists will be happy to advise you on a potential modernization concept that is tailored precisely to your requirements and the condition of the testing machine.

Modernization ensures that your testing system continues to deliver precise, reproducible, and standard-compliant results, and above all, that it is future-proof—including in terms of software and service.

Why switching to LabMaster is a good idea

The LabMaster interface is designed to allow software migration from existing solutions such as Test+Motion (“TaM”) for DOLI controllers. This means that many older systems can be quickly converted to LabMaster with minimal effort.

LabMaster has been continuously developed and supported in-house by Hegewald & Peschke for more than 25 years. LabMaster is upward and downward compatible. Accordingly, LabMaster is compatible with both the current EDCi series and older EDC controllers. In addition, LabMaster can operate on older and current Windows operating systems. With LabMaster, you are establishing a solid and future-proof software solution that is supported by our experienced software team, consisting of software developers and software service technicians. Our customers appreciate the free application support, where they receive immediate assistance from trained personnel with application knowledge when they call.

The intuitive software records force, crosshead travel, elongation, and external sensor data and evaluates these measured variables in accordance with standards. The software has been developed as application-oriented test software, is regularly updated and maintained, and offers, among other things:

Secure data storage in an SQL database
Freely definable test parameters, results, and measurement channels
Extensive export and import options for connection to your network
User management and audit-proof logging

Your advantages at a glance:

Minimal customization effort, short implementation times
Retention of existing hardware (if desired)
Consistent or higher functionality compared to older systems
Comprehensive free application support and training by our team

Who is modernization suitable for?

Operators of testing machines with older DOLI controllers and/or test software that is no longer updated/maintained
Laboratories that want to standardize their test procedures and centralize data storage
Users who want to switch from their previous test software to a modern, long-term supported solution

This is how the modernization works

Analysis of the existing testing machine, control system, and software environment
Coordination of the scope of modernization, software standards, and interfaces
Implementation, testing, and commissioning with training for your users
Optional service contract for maintenance, updates, and support
