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.
