Whether used for production purposes or in the lab
- With its different models, the DuraVision covers a wide range of applications and is suitable for extensive testing tasks in a handwheel operated version, with motorized nose cone infeed or as a fully automated hardness tester.
- The easy to use hardness testing software supports the operator with single tests, as well as complex test tasks.
Hardness testing according to current standards
- Our DuraVision series offers a wide load range from 0.3-250 kg or from 3-3,000 kg for test methods including Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Knoop, plastics testing and carbon testing. All methods are covered by the ISO 6506 / ASTM E10 , ISO 6507 / ASTM E384, ASTM E92, ISO 45452, ISO 6508 / ASTM E18, DIN 51917 and ISO 2039 standards.
- With every test method, you can expect high reliability of your test results and test your specimens with the highest level of precision.
- Automated test point evaluation and automatic brightness control make hardness testing more efficient and precise than ever before.
Testing the hardness of different materials and shapes
- Whether steel, aluminum, brass, zinc, gold, ceramics, carbon or plastic, with the right test method, our macro hardness tester produces accurate test results in any environment.
- The test specimens are either placed or clamped directly on the standard test anvil, on special prism, plane or spherical test anvils or other specimen fixtures. With the fully automated models, you can also use specimen grips for embedded specimens or matrices.
Hardness Testing Methods – Deep Insights with the Right Test Method
Depending on the model, the hardness tester covers load ranges from 0.3-250 kg or 3-3,000 kg.
The macro hardness tester covers optical methods and differential-depth methods for your hardness testing applications. This includes Vickers, Brinell, Knoop or Rockwell.
Different lenses are based on material hardness and test load and display your test results in high resolution. Your test results can be converted into other hardness values in accordance with industry standards.
DuraVision - reliable results & high return on investment
- Your investment in a DuraVision hardness tester significantly reduces the costs in your hardness testing processes. Fast and easy preparation of test tasks, the ability to store templates for recurring tests, and full automation of the test process reduce the operation time of hardness tests and save our customers time and money on a daily basis.
