New Automax range

Controls presented at Bauma 2013 in hall C1, booth 121 for the first time the new Automax range: Automax Classic is a fully automatic unit for testing compressive and flexural strength of construction materials. It is available as Compact-line all-in-one with the frame or as Smart-line separate stand-alone control console.

In addition to the functions and features of Automax Classic  Automax E-Modulus performs loading and unloading cycles for determination of Elastic modulus of construction materials, it measures sample strain with dedicated on-sample transducers and calculates results...
