Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testing Machine - Low Force
Equipped both with the latest optical system ideal for measuring the dimensions of indentation images and a test-force loading device that lets you set the desired test force! The HM-200 series is ideal for quality control and mechanical characteristic evaluation using Vickers hardness testing of small areas.
The Mitutoyo HM-210/220 Type B series Hardness Tester is ideal for automatic quality control and mechanical characteristic evaluation using Vickers hardness testing in small areas. The Mitutoyo HM-210/220 Type B unit utilizes AVPAK10, a software package that automatically measures the diagonal length of an indentation and calculates the corresponding hardness value. This eliminates the measurement error caused by variations in operator interpretation to reduce costs.
Mitutoyo HM-220 Type B V/K Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testing Machine:
- Integrated vision unit comprised of a 3 million pixel, color USB camera
- AVPAK software supports control, testing, and report creation related to hardness testing as well as parameter settings and automatic measurement
- Optional measuring microscope enables magnified observation and measurement of indentations
- The automatic turret mechanism can manually or automatically change the positions of the indenter and objective lens
- The electromagnetic force motor in the loading mechanism enables the test force to be freely selected over the wide range of (0.05gf to 2000gf)
- The ability to freely set load dwell times delivers control over indentation size
- The long working distance objectives enable a comfortable working distance between the objective and the specimen surface reducing the possibility of collision between the specimen and the objective during focusing operations
- Manual X-Y stage unit with digital micrometer head digitally displays positional information during test-site positioning
- V/K models utilize both Vickers and Knoop indenters
