Integral In Line is a hardness tester with a multi-slot head with integrated milling. it’s suitable for high and very high production rates on delicate pieces such as cylinders-springs, where the preparation milling must give a rounded surface without sharp edges.
Thanks to its high-speed revolver head, this instrument can perform a complete test in 20 seconds: milling, hardness test and automatic indentation measurement with appropriate camera follow automatically one another. The head of Integral In Line is tilted by 90° and faces the operator.
This solution finds its perfect application in production lines with automatic conveyor, for 100% piece testing. The hardness tester is equipped with a second horizontal drive axis on the roller conveyor, so that the distancing of the tests can be programmed at the start, the middle and the end of the cylinder-spring body.
On request, it is also possible to install a 180° rotating device to perform tests on the underside of the product being tested.
One of the benefits of the multi-slot head is that the machine can perform both Rockwell and Brinell tests, without the need to change the indenter.
