Machine Parameters：

Software Function:

● System linkage: Through the communication interface it realizes the linkage between the system and the

hardness tester. 

● Pressure linkage: When converting test force, the system percepts the test force change and displays in

real time. 

● Turret linkage: The software controls the shifting between the objective and the indenter without manual

control.

● Loading linkage: The software controls the loading without manual control. 

● Measuring linkage: The software controls the turret, loading and directly reading the Vickers hardness

value. 

● Light source linkage: Manual focus.

● Image acquisition: Real time display of hardness image, store and print image. 

● Automatic measurement: Automatically find the four vertices of indentation with fast speed and accurate

data, there are many professional algorithms to be suitable for different indentation. It continuously and

immediately measures at specified coordinates once loading. 

● Automatic point search: The system automatically finds the best vertices near the four vertices of the

indentation, greatly reduce the human error. 

● Diagonal measurement: Click the top left and lower right corner of the indentation, you can read the

hardness value. 

● Four point measurement: Click the four point of the indentation and you can read the hardness value.

● Hardness conversion: According to the national standard, automatically convert the hardness value

between Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, real-time display. 

● Graphic report: Automatic record of measurement data, automatic generation of hardness-depth

curves, saving or printing the hardness-depth curves and all indentation measurements. Save or print

the indentation image and the current indentation hardness value. All the reports are saved in WORD file. 

● Results statistics: Output the multiple measured results of indentations by EXCEL and automatically

count the measurement number, maximum value, minimum value, average value, variance, etc. of

hardness.

● Linkage control: Through the communication interface the system percepts the test force changes,

controls the turret, loads and directly reads.

● Automatic displacement: Equipped with high precision X-Y automatic test table.

● Automatic identification: Leading indentation automatic identification technology, read D1 / D2 and

HV value in 0.3 seconds.

● Stable performance: The indentation of non mirror polishing, uneven light, not in the center can be

read automatically.

● Powerful functions: Such as manual reading, automatic reading, hardness conversion, depth-

hardness curve, indentation image, picture and text report.

● Easy to use: Through the hardness block calibration, in line with the users’ habits. It can be normal

used with half day training.

● Automatic reading: Original algorithm of automatic reading to automatic read a variety of indentation

with fast speed and high accuracy.

● Good repeatability: It is automatic reading with high repeatability and can satisfy the requirement

of professional users.

● Automatic scanning: Can automatically scan the sample edge and shape.
