WIZARD AUTO | General Utility Standard Automatic Compression Testers for Cubes, Cylinders and blocks
The WIZARD AUTO (General Utility Edition) serves as the industry-standard solution for laboratories that require a balance of power and simplicity. This model is specifically engineered to handle the high-capacity demands of testing not only standard cubes and cylinders but also masonry blocks and other larger specimens. As the workhorse of the Controls Group’s automatic range, it provides a cost-effective path to full automation, replacing manual hand-pump systems with a reliable, pre-programmed hydraulic cycle that guarantees consistency across every batch.
Key Performance Features
- One-Touch Automation: Featuring a “Start to Finish” automated cycle, the controller manages the rapid approach, precise loading, and final specimen failure without requiring constant operator monitoring.
- Dual-Channel Versatility: Designed with a dual-channel display that monitors both load and loading rate simultaneously, ensuring the operator stays within the strict tolerances of international testing standards.
- High-Capacity Hydraulic System: Optimized for the high pressures required for high-strength concrete and masonry, featuring a specialized oil-flow pump for smooth, jitter-free loading.
- Rugged Durability: Built with a heavy-duty, high-stiffness frame that minimizes frame stretching, ensuring that the energy released at failure is safely contained and results are accurate.
Technical Specifications
- Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with ASTM C39, AASHTO T22, and EN 12390-4, making it suitable for a wide variety of global infrastructure projects.
- High Precision Calibration: Meets or exceeds Class 1 (ISO 7500-1) and Class A (ASTM E4) standards, delivering accuracy within plus or minus one percent starting from ten percent of the maximum scale.
