Automax PRO-M SMART line, Fully Automatic Control Console for Advanced Testing

Description

AUTOMAX PRO-M Power Control System fitted with superior hydraulics can also perform, in addition to standard failure tests, the Modulus of Elasticity Determination tests, Characterizations of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) under displacement-control and tensile tests on steel specimens


AUTOMAX PRO-M introduces new features and capabilities that will revolutionize the operations of any progressive construction quality testing laboratories.
LinkLAB is CONTROLS’ new proprietary Laboratory Connectivity Package. 
It allows your AUTOMAX PRO-M to be a connected part of your laboratory infrastructure by taking inputs from any number of ancillary measuring systems and devices increasing efficiency and eliminating transposing errors.

Smart automatic and connected concrete Power and Control System for standard failure testing.

AUTOMAX PRO-M is CONTROLS’ new top-of-the-range Compact-Line compression machine and is the first choice for automatic standard failure tests and advanced concrete mechanical properties assessment. 

  • Huge boost in efficiency and error elimination: LinK-LAB – Integrated testing station solution for seamless connection and data inputs from many ancillary devices for dimensional measurement, weight, bar code, etc.
  • Fully automatic – time saving: Full test-cycle automation maximizes productivity and ensures tests are performed accurately according to pre-set methods, eliminating operator variables.
  • Highly accurate and energy saving: Our DC motor technology quietly and efficiently delivers super accurate load control at both low-speed and low-loads.
  • Intuitive, quick and simple operation: The integrated control system features an intuitive 7” color graphical display, which works like a tablet or smart-phone, and makes AUTOMAX PRO-M quick and simple to operate.
  • Standards compliant – peace of mind: Automatic performance of Elastic Modulus tests according to the main International Standards with automatic calculation of tests results.
  • Advanced: Allowing the execution of displacement-controlled tests on beams, notched beams, round or square slabs
  • Easy rebar testing: simply attach the stand- alone tensile frame and carry out rebar testing as well as all the compression tests.

  • RS 232 port for data downloading in ASCII format


Firmware

  • Execution of compression, flexure, indirect tensile, ACV tests, Elastic Modulus, Poisson Ratio Determination plus Displacement-controlled tests (with 50-FW/DC) and tensile tests (with 50-FW/UTS) in automatic mode with test speed controlled by a closed-loop PID system.
  • Simultaneous display of:
    • load, stress, actual load rate, load / time graph in standard failure test
    • load, stress, strain, stress / strain graph in Elastic Modulus and Poisson ratio tests
    • load, displacement, stress / displacement in displacement controlled tests (with 50-FW/DC)
    • load, stress, displacement and % elongation (crossbeam), displacement and % elongation (extensometer, if connected), stress/%elongation graph in tensile tests (with 50-FW/UTS)
  • Saving of the specimen failure type (to EN or ASTM) in concrete compressiont tests results
  • Automatic performance of Elastic Modulus tests according to the main International Standards with automatic calculation of tests results
  • Execution (with 50-SW/DC) of displacement controlled tests on beams, notched beams, round or square slabs
  • Execution (with 50-FW/UTS) of automatic tensile tests with:
    • Control up to yield by:
      * Stress (method B to EN 6892-1)
      * Strain by using extensometer (method A1 to EN 6892-1)
      * Strain by using crosshead (method A2 to EN 6892-1)
    • Control after yield by grips' separation
    • elaboration of tension test results: ReH, ReL, Rp, final elongation, etc. conforming to EN ISO 6892-1 and EN 15630-1
  • 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

Each one of the recorded test profiles can be recalled automatically to save time.
  • Improved PID algorithm and multi PID selection. Up to three different PID settings can be tuned for each channel for a variety of materials (e.g. cylinder with neoprene pads, low strength specimens) and test methods (e.g ACV, flexure, elastic modulus, displacement control)
  • Compatible with the newly released DATAMANAGER software, E-Module, D-Control and UTS software packages, tailored for construction material testing laboratories, for remote control, real-time data acquisition and results calculation.
