Edmund Buhler SM 30 A control Programmable Orbital Shaker

The programmable version of the SM 30 orbital shaker

The Edmund Buhler SM 30 A control reuses the mechanical base of the SM 30 A orbital shaker and adds a programmable touch screen to store and repeat heavy-load protocols.

Speed adjusts in steps of 5 over the same 15 to 300 rpm range as the non-programmable version.

Touch screen and programming

The capacitive touch screen, glove-compatible, allows manual or automatic operation over 10 programs of 10 segments each, with an audible and visual end-of-program signal.

A programmable delayed start and automatic restart after a power failure round out the programming functions.

Platform and load capacity

The 560 x 400 mm platform holds a maximum load of 30 kg. The unit ships without a fixation rack, to be selected separately based on vessel format.

• Speed from 15 to 300 rpm, in steps of 5
• Programmable or continuous operation
• Reversible direction of rotation during a run, for better mixing

Safety and integration options

The Defined Stop option is available for the SM 30 A control, for integration with robotic systems requiring a repeatable stop position.

USB 2.0, RS 232, and control interfaces are available as options for remote operation, alongside the Safety Package for speed monitoring.

Rack and fixation accessories

The SM 30 A control accepts the same racks as the SM 30 A (Combifix SM A/B/C, SM universal tray), as well as the TH 30 incubator hood.

Ideal Applications

The Edmund Buhler SM 30 A control suits the following applications.

• Heavy-load agitation protocols that need to be reproduced exactly
• Integration with robotic systems (Defined Stop option)
• Labs requiring a log of interruptions
• Heavy loads up to 30 kg
• Positions requiring remote operation (USB, RS 232)

Choose the SM 30 A control when:

• You want to store and repeat heavy-load agitation protocols
• You are integrating the shaker into a robotic system
• You need a log of interruptions for traceability
• A glove-compatible touch screen suits your workflow
• You are considering remote operation via USB or RS 232

Buhler Value Proposition

The SM 30 A control combines the robustness of the SM 30 A with a programmable touch screen, for easier integration into automated workflows at high load.

Edmund Buhler has manufactured laboratory shakers in Germany since 1880 and remains a family-owned company.
