AUTOMAX PRO-M | ASTM Automatic Compression Tester for Cylinders
The AUTOMAX PRO-M is the specialized evolution of the flagship PRO series, specifically tailored for the ASTM market. This premium, compact workstation is engineered for high-precision testing of concrete cylinders, providing a streamlined, fully automated experience. While maintaining the power of the PRO line, the “M” configuration focuses on maximizing efficiency for standard-specific workflows, offering the perfect balance of advanced technology and ease of use for North American laboratories.
Key Performance Features
- Integrated ASTM Workflow: Pre-set with dedicated routines for ASTM C39 and C469, ensuring your testing process is perfectly aligned with North American standards from the start.
- Intuitive Control Center: Features a high-resolution, 7-inch color touchscreen that displays real-time load/stress graphs and ensures precise loading rate control via a user-friendly, PC-like interface.
- Dual Frame Capability: Includes two active ports as standard, allowing you to easily switch between a high-capacity cylinder frame and a secondary flexure or small-load frame.
- Quiet & Green Operation: Powered by ES (Energy Saving) Technology, the variable speed motor only runs at the required speed, significantly reducing noise levels and cutting power consumption by up to 35%.
Technical Specifications
- Standard Compliance: Fully optimized for ASTM C39, C469, C78, and C293, as well as AASHTO T22.
- Load Accuracy: Certified to Class A (ASTM E4) starting from 1% of full scale, ensuring reliable data even during the early stages of the test.
- Advanced Control: Employs a high-frequency Closed-Loop PID control (up to 500 Hz) for unparalleled load rate stability and repeatability.
- IoT & Connectivity: Built-in Wi-Fi, LAN, and USB ports enable instant data transfer, remote diagnostics, and seamless integration with the Link-LAB laboratory management system.
- Expanded Testing: Beyond standard compression, it is fully equipped to perform Elastic Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio tests using electronic strain measurement devices.
- Data Security: Automatic storage of thousands of test results with a secure “Audit Trail” to maintain full data integrity and traceability.
