Automatic image analysis for Brinell hardness tests (1-3000 Kg), Knoop and Vickers hardness tests (0.25 – 120 Kg); this reliable hardness tester ensures a repeatability of +/- 0.002 Brinell. Machine management happens through a built-in computer. This universal hardness tester is perfect for industry as well as for research (as a laboratory hardness tester). It can mount a X-Y table for pieces positioning.
Integral Universal is, as the name suggests, a universal hardness tester able to perform different hardness tests, including Martens test. In fact, it can execute multiple types of measurements, according to DIN-ISO, ASTM DIN regulations, and works perfectly on any type of metal and alloy, as well as on synthetic materials, ceramics, abrasive stones, plastics, rubber, aggregates and many other materials. Upon request, load forces for additional tests can be added.
Integral Universal is characterized by the possibility to execute automatic image analysis for Knoop, Vickers (0.25 – 120 Kg) and Brinell hardness test (1 – 3.000 Kg, with a repeatability of +/- 0.002 Brinell) as well as for all the other hardness tests requiring the reading of the indentation. Readings happen through a built-in camera and are shown on an integrated monitor, providing with high-definition electronic measurement, with precision of 1 micron and a zoom range from 20x to 400x. Moreover, everything is 100% automatic: thanks to the auto focus, aided by the piece presser, and the light intensity adjustment.
For steel, and metal in general, we can say that the main hardness tests are, indeed, 3: Brinell hardness test, Rockwell hardness test, and Vickers hardness test (with diamond indenter). Vickers and Brinell, require the possibility to read the indentation with a camera, while Rockwell measures the depth of penetration of the indenter. But hardness is a very wide topic, and a universal hardness tester shall be able to measure not only these three scales.
Integral Universal
Industrial universal hardness tester
Integral Universal is controlled by a touch screen computer installed on board the machine, complete of integrated hard disk and Windows 10 operating system, with Easydur proprietary software that allows the operator to follow the various automatic hardness testing phases: test selection, Rockwell depth measurement, rapid and high-precision Brinell and Vickers measurements; filing of piece images and impressions, dimensional measurements.
The complete statistics program supplies charts and histograms as well as a large data storage.
A data output allows the test report to be printed.
Easy and intuitive machine management is made possible by a built-in computer, and the automatic selection of loads and test scales can be done from the dedicated menus. The test recipes can easily be created, stored and recalled at will.
The durable structure of this universal hardness tester is protected against dust and any atmospheric agents as well as against shocks, thereby making this durometer the perfect choice also in tough industrial environments (it is a true industrial hardness tester!).
Thanks to its high precision, it can of course be used also in laboratories for quality control purposes, in manufacturing plants for fast measurements and lot selection, as well as in research institutions, technical schools and universities, and so on.
It is possible to carry out tests on even on blank or unclean surfaces, so Integral Universal is ideal also for installation in foundries and forging facilities.
