Description

Vickers/Knoop Macro-Hardness Tester

Smart hardness testing with smashing performance

DURALINE V1 with Test & Measurement software Windows 10 "N-Sure" including Auto-Measurement module

DUROLINE V Series are ideal instruments for quality assurance, quality control, research and metallurgical departments to monitor the hardness during fabrication and after heat treatment or welding as well as for the performance analysis on metal parts and new alloys. Typical applications are determining the Vickers macro-hardness of steel alloys and metal components, small precision parts, thin material or wire, coatings and performing case depth determinations (CHD, EHT, NHT) on cross sections.

Recently developed by an international multi-disciplinary team with a wide hardness testing experience, the DUROLINE V-Series are based on the latest technology available, focused on fast cycle time with high reproduceable accuracy within international standards. The system features a smart and very service-friendly synergy of a robust and proven mechanical construction with load cell force control and integrated electronics system control featured by a fast CANBUS technology and a high-quality Windows based mini-pc. Monitoring the hardness testing process significantly improved by using modern user interfacing technology such as 10-point multi-touch screen operation supported by a fast & secure display connection. Combined with top quality components and a high performance mini-pc, this system guarantees customers a solid and accurate performance over many years to come. In this way, the DUROLINE V Vickers hardness tester series offers a highly functional and reliable automated indentation test & measurement system.
