Features :
- Computerized (PC based) Vickers Hardness Machine.
- Direct & accurate measurement of Vickers hardness number using "State of the art" image processing technology.
- Wide testing range : from soft metal up to hardest.
- Small size of indentation makes it a non destructive testing on finished components.
- Small loads allow testing on thin sheet metals.
Advanced Window based software :
- User friendly software with windows features. Online indentation setting & focusing on PC monitor
- Advance image processing : Algorithms implemented for precise calculation of hardness numbers with various options to cover all ranges of specimen.
- Batch file processing : Option for Data, storage & reports generation. Statistical Evaluation : Software for calculating standard deviation, mean, median, histogram etc.
- Wide options in calibration mode. Calibration/Verification on PC monitor makes easier to operate.
Application :
‘FIE’ Computerized Hardness Tester is a simple and accurate means to produce and automatically measure the diamond impression to give Vickers hardness number.
These testers are suitable for measuring the hardness of precision metallic parts with wide testing range - from soft to hard and their accurate results are widely acclaimed.
Construction :
The robust machine frame is designed to accommodate the high precision loading. Specimen is placed on a testing table. The test cycle is fully automatic. The accurate load is applied on a diamond indenter by means of a lever and weights. After a specific lapse of a time the load is removed automatically. The image is digitized using a CCD camera fitted on the machine and is captured by the PC.
The diagonals of the indentation are automatically measured by PC to give the Vickers Hardness Number.
