AUTOMAX MULTITEST Computerized Control Console

Description

AUTOMAX Multitest represents a step change in versatility that allows modular upgrades from basic failure tests up to advanced displacement controlled tests.

The system in fact offers step-by-step flexibility to build your testing system to cover possible future testing needs.
The console is supplied with DATAMANAGER software for standard failure tests to EN and ASTM, but with additional frames, accessories and dedicated software packages, your system can easily perform many tests including:
  • Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson Ratio determinations (with optional software package 82-SW/EM)
  • Tension on steel rebar (with optional software package 82-SW/UTS)
  • Displacement controlled tests for FRC/Shotcrete characterization (with optional software package 82-SW/DC)
See Accessories

 

  • Suitable for any kind of test from basic failure tests (compression, flexure, splitting, tension) through cyclic tests for elastic modulus and poisson ratio determination up to advanced displacement controlled tests
  • Suitable for any type of sample, can be connected up to 4 frames ranging from 15 kN up to 5000 kN in compression and 500 kN in tension
  • Suitable for any budget: the machine can be upgraded in step-by-step investments by adding suitable testing frames, accessories and dedicated software packages 
  • Suitable for any user: 4 easy-to-use software packages available, each one tailored for a specific test method, guiding the operator through all the test phases
  • Test cycle with closed loop PID control automatically performed by pressing the start button via PC
  • DC-driven variable speed pump for silent operation, energy saving and highly accurate drop-by-drop oil flow for precise control during complex tests
  • 500 Hz high control frequency for optimum oil pressure adjustment during critical tests 
  • Double frame control, expandable to four, with active frame selection via software
  • Soft platen-to-specimen contact and smooth load rate control from very beginning of the ramp
