Edmund Buhler SM 30 B control Programmable Reciprocating Shaker
€4.372,00 excl. VAT
The SM 30 B control is the programmable version of the SM 30 B universal reciprocating shaker from Edmund Buhler. It suits labs that want to store and repeat heavy-load linear agitation protocols using a touch screen. Its 560 x 400 mm platform holds a maximum load of 30 kg, with speed adjustable in steps of 5 from 15 to 300 rpm. The capacitive touch screen, glove-compatible, allows manual or programmed operation over 10 programs of 10 segments each. The Defined Stop option is available for the SM 30 B control, for integration with robotic systems. The SM 30 B control accepts the same racks as the SM 30 B, with its modular stroke, as well as the TH 30 incubator hood. USB 2.0, RS 232, and control interfaces are available as options for remote operation.
Edmund Buhler SM 30 B control Programmable Reciprocating Shaker
The programmable version of the SM 30 reciprocating shaker
The Edmund Buhler SM 30 B control reuses the mechanical base of the SM 30 B reciprocating 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, stroke, and load capacity
The 560 x 400 mm platform holds a maximum load of 30 kg. The standard 30 mm stroke can be replaced with a 46 mm or 50 mm stroke as an option.
- Speed from 15 to 300 rpm, in steps of 5
- Programmable or continuous operation
- Log of interruptions for traceability
Safety and integration options
The Defined Stop option is available for the SM 30 B 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 B control accepts the same racks as the SM 30 B (Combifix SM A/B/C, SM universal tray), as well as the TH 30 incubator hood.
Ideal Applications
The Edmund Buhler SM 30 B control suits the following applications.
- Heavy-load linear 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
- Protocols requiring an extended stroke (46 or 50 mm)
Choose the SM 30 B control when:
- You want to store and repeat heavy-load linear 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 need an extended stroke (46 or 50 mm as an option)
Buhler Value Proposition
The SM 30 B control combines the robustness of the SM 30 B with a programmable touch screen and a modular stroke, 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.
