Automax PRO-M SMART line, Fully Automatic Control Console for Advanced Testing
The AUTOMAX PRO-M is the premium, top-of-the-range control console in the Controls Group “Smart-Line” series. While the WIZARD AUTO focuses on entry-level automation for routine compression, the PRO-M is a sophisticated, multi-discipline workstation designed for advanced research and high-capacity commercial laboratories requiring unparalleled precision and connectivity.
Key Performance Features
- Advanced Multi-Test Capability: Beyond standard failure tests, the PRO-M is factory-fitted with superior hydraulics to perform Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Poisson’s Ratio determination, and displacement-controlled testing on Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC).
- Smart Connectivity (Link-LAB): Acts as a central hub for the laboratory. It can integrate inputs from ancillary devices like balances, digital calipers, and barcode scanners to eliminate manual data entry and transposition errors.
- Intuitive Interface: Features a 7-inch high-resolution color touchscreen that functions like a tablet, providing real-time graphing of load, stress, and strain for immediate data visualization.
- Energy-Saving DC Technology: Utilizes a high-torque DC motor and flow-sharing technology, offering silent operation and highly accurate load control at both very low and high speeds.
Technical Specifications
- Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with ASTM C39, C469, and EN 12390-13, covering both standard compression and advanced mechanical property assessments.
- Multi-Frame Management: Includes active control for up to 4 testing frames (e.g., compression, flexure, and tensile), allowing operators to switch between frame types via the digital interface.
- Data Intelligence: Equipped with a 16 GB internal SD card for unlimited data storage, plus Ethernet, RS232, and USB ports for seamless integration into LIMS or cloud-based networks.
- Superior Resolution: Features high-stability analog channels with up to 524,000-point resolution, ensuring extreme accuracy for sensitive elasticity measurements.
- Hardware Versatility: Driven by a 720W DC motor with a maximum working pressure of 700 bar, allowing it to handle the most demanding high-strength concrete and steel rebar testing.
