Precise control

The fully automatic ZHV30/zwickiLine testing machine with closed-loop technology reduces testing costs and minimizes operator influence—your guarantee for efficient, cost-effective low-force hardness testing.

The ZHV30/zwickiLine can be controlled with either the testXpert hardness edition software, or with the high definition software. Depending on customer requirements, ZwickRoell thereby offers the perfect software solution.

ZHV30/zwickiLine hardness testing machine

The ZHV30/zwickiLine testing machine (fully automatic) with closed-loop technology reduces testing costs and minimizes operator influence.

Advantages & features

Applications

Can be used for all optical hardness testing methods in the low-force range for single, series and multiple hardness traverse tests to the following standards:

Vickers hardness to EN ISO 6507
Knoop hardness to EN ISO 4545
Brinell hardness to EN ISO 6506

This hardness testing system is ideal for automated hardness testing to determine values for the following methods:

case hardening depth (CHD) as per EN ISO 2639
conventional depth of hardening after surface heating (DS) as per EN 10328
depth of hardening after nitriding (Nht) as per DIN 50190-3
weld seam tests on steel pipes as per EN 10208

The ZHV307zwickiLine hardness testing system covers the metals (steel producers and suppliers, hardening shops), automotive and aerospace industries, together with academia, government departments and agencies and medical engineering (ceramics and dental materials).

Advantages with testXpert hardness edition

Versions with testXpert^®hardness edition

The fully automatic ZHV30/zwicki hardness testing system with closed-loop technology reduces testing costs and minimizes operator influence. A guarantee for efficient, cost-effective low-force hardness testing.
The hardness testing system has been designed as a ‘top loader’; the measuring unit is automatically lowered to the specimen. Test-area height can be varied as required.
The Xforce HP load cell and ZwickRoell testControl measurement and control electronics guarantee fast, precise test-load application in the ranges HV0.1 to HV30 and HBW1/1 to HBW2.5/31.25.
The innovative lens mounting fixture for the indenters ensures smooth application of all test loads.
The measuring microscope employs GigE camera technology and is equipped with a motorized turret for the indenter and up to 4 lenses, allowing a wide range of applications to be covered.
Control of the hardness testing machine and evaluation of test data are handled by testXpert software "hardness edition". Test reports (with test parameters and test results) are generated automatically.

Advantages with the high definition software

The fully automatic ZHV30/zwickiLine is equipped with closed-loop technology (Xforce HP load cell).
The hardness testing system has been designed as a ‘top loader’; the measuring unit is automatically lowered to the specimen. Test-area height can be varied as required.
The innovative lens mounting fixture for the indenters ensures smooth application of all test loads.
The measuring microscope employs a 1.3-megapixel USB camera and is equipped with a motorized turret for the indenter and up to 4 lenses, allowing a wide range of applications to be covered.
Operation and control of hardness testing system via high definition software.
Fast, easy positioning of test points in overview image.
Automatic indentation measurement with lighting and shadow correction eliminates operator influence when determining the hardness value.
Automatic hardness traverse testing.
