Computerised SATM Series for production-line and laboratory force-velocity testing of automotive shock absorbers and dampers — single and dual station, up to 10 kN, servo motorised.

SATM Series
The AGMPL SATM Series are fully computerised damper force testing machines designed for 100% end-of-line quality inspection and laboratory characterisation of automotive shock absorbers. Available in single and dual-station configurations from 7.5 kN to 15 kN, they are used by leading 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across India.
Production models feature automatic pneumatic gripping — parts are loaded, tested, and released without any manual clamping. The SATM-4 series is capable of testing up to 8,000 dampers per day at full production speed.

Common Specifications
Standard Equipment
Production models automatically detect, clamp, and release dampers — no operator involvement between cycles.
Precise velocity control from 1 mm/s to 1,000 mm/s across the full force range with smooth, repeatable motion.
SATM-4 Series machines test up to 8,000 dampers per day — designed for 100% end-of-line quality inspection.
SATM-4M2 tests two dampers simultaneously, doubling output without increasing footprint or operator headcount.
Testing stroke adjustable up to ±25 mm to match each damper's specification — no hardware change required.
F-v diagram generated live on screen during each test stroke for immediate visual quality assessment.
Automatically detects initial contact with the specimen before the test begins — eliminates manual zeroing.
Rigid welded steel frame minimises structural deflection and ensures accurate, repeatable force measurement.
Electronic overload protection, mechanical travel limit switches, and emergency stop on all models.
Test results exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV with force-velocity curves, statistics, and pass/fail results.
