Automax PRO-M SMART line, fully automatic control console

Technical specifications

• DC motor, 720W, 50-60Hz
• Maximum working pressure 700 bar
• Load/unload electrovalve for test execution via display/PC and automatic stop at specimen failure
• Active control of up to 4 frames by selection via display/PC (third and fourth frame as option). See accessories.
• ES Energy Saving technology to reduce the power consumption and enable silent operation
• Flow-sharing technology to perform loading and unloading cycles at controlled rate
   

• 524,000 points high-resolution/stability analog channels
• 6 channels to be factory configured:
  • 2 channels for load sensors
  • 2 channels for load or displacement/strain sensor
  • 2 channels for displacement/strain sensors 
• Control frequency 250 Hz
• Sampling frequency 250 Hz
• 7”, 800 x 480 pixel, 16 M colors, icon-driven capacitative sensing touchscreen graphic display
• Unlimited storage capacity for test data on internal 8 GB SD card
• USB port for test data storage on external USB memory stick and for firmware upgrade
• Ethernet port for PC / Internet /network communication
• Optional integrated graphic printer including Load-Time plot
• RS 232 port for data downloadingin ASCII format

• Execution of compression, flexure, indirect tensile, ACV tests in automatic mode with load rate controlled by a closed-loop P.I.D. system
• Execution of loading ramps with the possibility to manually increase or decrease the test speed during the test
• Possibility to reach at controlled speed a load target and to keep a steady loading phase.
• Simultaneous display of load, specific load, actual load rate, load/time and stress/strain graph
• Saving of the specimen failure type (to EN or ASTM) in the test results
• Automatic performance of Elastic Modulus tests according to the main International Standards with automatic calculation of tests results
• Download data to internal printer (optional) or to PC via RS 232 port or to USB memory stick
• PC / network communication via Ethernet
• Multi-coefficient linearization of the calibration curve for better accuracy at low loads thus avoiding the use of a second pressure transducer
• Recording facility for up to 10 test profiles for each channel including: type of test (e.g. compression, flexural, indirect tensile), specimen size and shape, load rate, test standard and other general information. Each one of the recorded test profiles can be recalled automatically to save time
• Improved PID algorithm and Multi PID selection. Up to 3 different PID settings can be tuned for a variety of materials (ACV, flexure, compression with neoprene pads, etc.)
• Compatible with the newly released Datamanager software, tailored for construction material testing laboratories, for real-time data acquisition, display and management
• Peripheral devices integration and web services available as option (see page…)
• Automatic load measurement verification procedure, by connecting suitable load cells and our digital readout unit to PC
• Language selection (including Cyrillic and Chinese)
• Unit selection (kN, ton, lbf)
• USB port for firmware upgrade and safe backup of the original configuration data (PID, calibration, etc.), in case of loss and/or data corruption. The restore of the machine to the factory settings is easy avoiding the need of any technical support.

• Overall dimensions: (hxlxd) 1292x350x450 mm
• Weight approx .: 80 kg
