WIZARD AUTO

Standard automatic compression machine

WIZARD AUTO is CONTROLS’ new standard automatic machine for compression and flexural testing.  It has many new features and enhancements to improve the user-friendliness, efficiency, operator comfort and energy savings.

 

Main Features

QC testing performance has just taken a step change improvement with CONTROLS abandoning manual test control and now features automatic closed-loop PID control of loading-rate using VFD inverter-technology control of the high specification AC motor.

Wizard Auto automatically and accurately performs tests at the correct test speed, ensuring compliance to Standards and with no effect due to operator variables.

Mainly dedicated to routine failure tests (compression, flexure and indirect tensile), WIZARD AUTO is the perfect solution to ensure total certainty of testing accuracy and strict conformity to international Standards.

  • Reduced opportunities for operator errors, improving accuracy of results and repeatability
  • Easy-to-use: even for operators with limited expertise.
  • Conforming to Standards: the machine automatically performs the test at correct test speed. Conformance to Standards can be easily proven.
  • High performance: high speed pump closes the daylight above the specimen at the fasted speed allowing a very high throughput of tests.
  • Operator comfort due to the significant noise reduction.
  • Energy saving, with 50% reduction in energy consumption.

Technical Specs

WIZARD AUTO AUTOMATIC POWER AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Hydraulic

  • Sampling rate 50 Hz
  • Internal memory
  • RS 232 port for data download (including load/time graph points) to PC in ASCII format
  • Integrated printer as optional. See accessories

Firmware

  • Real time display of load and stress
  • Automatic application of the selected load rate
  • Execution of loading ramps with the possibility to manually increase or decrease the test speed during the test
  • Peak detection and saving
  • Language selection
  • Multi-coefficient linearization of the calibration curve for better accuracy at low loads
  • Multiple units: Lbf / Ton / kN.

FRAME
Rigid welded steel construction. Spherical seat allows free alignment at the initial contact with the specimen.

SAFETY FEATURES
Includes: Max. pressure valve to avoid machine overloading; piston travel limit switch; emergency stop button; front and rear flexible transparent fragment guard (front rigid door available – see upgrading options)
