Technical notes
- Load/unload electrovalve for test execution via display/PC and automatic stop at specimen failure
- 7”, 800 x 480 pixel, 16 M colors, icon-driven capacitative sensing touchscreen graphic display
- Wi-Fi or GSM module available as option
- Firmware
- Execution of compression, flexure 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.
- Saving of the specimen failure type (to EN or ASTM) in the test 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
- 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.
- With the special calibration procedure, code 50-C0050/CAL for the 300 kN load scale and with the special procedure 50-C0050/CAL5 for the 15 kN load scale. To be specified at time of order.
Features
- Conforms to Test Standard: ASTM C109 | ASTM C349 | ASTM C348 | EN 196-1
- 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 quick and simple to operate.
- Standards compliant – peace of mind: Hardware and firmware are in total compliance with all the main international cement testing standards.
- Pioneering web services: WEBCARE Remote Assistance will enable connection to your testing system for remote technical support whilst the i-LAB cloud-based services will allow sharing of your data with authorized 3rd parties, including real time viewing of the test.
- Multilingual functionality: The system is available in multiple languages and is fully compatible with non-Latin characters for Chinese, Cyrillic (and more).
