This hardness tester is designed for testing the hardness of metals by all Rockvell methods (according to STN EN 6508) and Brinell for a carbide ball Ø 2.5 mm.
The device is equipped with a control computer with the operating system MS Windovs 10, new software for the collection and statistical evaluation of hardness tester data, which work according to the Rockwell method. This product makes full use of the network and allows automatic export of data to a server for further processing.
If necessary, the measurement results are also accessible to other users.
The device allows direct evaluation and display of measured data on the screen, archiving of data in the database and printing of measured and processed results on a connected printer. Control part in the computer, allows to start the measuring cycle of the hardness tester from the screen, to select the course of measurement in automatic or manual mode. This minimizes the measurement error caused by the instrument operator. The operator chooses the length of the measuring cycle, which allows the measurement itself to be accelerated.
The control computer allows
- to determine the penetrating body, main load, weight assembly for the selected method
- enter the measurement time
- set date and time
- set communication language: Slovak, Czech, English, German
- corrections for uneven surfaces
- conversion to other scales according to DIN 50 150
- determination of indentation depth and material strength
- data transfer to FLASCH
- after connecting the printer, print the created protocols in the selected language
- check sensor settings
- statistical processing of results
- automatic load loading - methodology
