Advantages and features

  • Load levels with motorized load-change: 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000 (in gf).
  • Motorized turret for changing between indenter and lenses enables automatic test sequence.
  • Turret for four lenses and two indenters (Vickers and Knoop) eliminates risk of confusion.
  • Load application via dead-weights guarantees test-force repeatability and long-term stability.
  • Freely adjustable dwell times from 5 to 60 seconds.
  • Individual lighting setting for each lens.

Advantages of the software controlled version

Software-controlled versions for semi to fully automatic hardness testing systems offer the following additional advantages.

  • Operation and control of hardness tester via high-definition software.
  • 1.3-megapixel USB camera.
  • Fast, easy positioning of test points in overview image.
  • Automatic indentation measurement with lighting and shadow correction eliminates operator influence during determination of the hardness value.
  • Motorized X-Y table with 100 mm x 60 mm travel.
  • Automatic hardness traverse testing.

ZHVµ micro Vickers hardness tester and accessories

Manual ZHVµ-M micro Vickers hardness tester

The manual ZHVµ micro Vickers hardness tester is equipped with an ocular for measuring indentation diagonals. The measured values can be transferred to the testXpert III testing software for further evaluation and reporting.
