Universal hardness testers Brinell-Vickers-Rockwell

Standard-compliant hardness testing according to Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Knoop

Universal hardness testers are convincing due to their wide range of applications in quality assurance and quality control during production as well as in the laboratory environment and in the R&D sector. They offer the possibility of standard-compliant hardness testing according to:

  • Brinell (DIN EN ISO 6506)
  • Vickers (DIN EN ISO 6507)
  • Rockwell (DIN EN ISO 6508)
  • Knoop (DIN EN ISO 4545)

with just one hardness testing machine.

Technical features

Electromechanical load application

The universal hardness testers work with electromechanical load application for precise implementation of the test forces and sequences defined in the standard. The advantages of this method:

  • Precise load application for maximum accuracy & reproducibility
  • Individually adjustable load application time
  • No overshoot on contact between indenter & test load

Exchange systems for indenters

HPuniversal turret systemTo ensure a high degree of flexibility in the hardness testing procedures, the indenters can be changed quickly and easily. Two systems are available for this, depending on the hardness tester:

  1. Magnetic indenter holders: The indenters can be replaced without tools using magnetic contacts
  2. Motorized turret: The motorized turret is equipped with several indenters and lenses that can be changed automatically or manually by rotation in just 0.5 seconds - without the need to change test tools.

Testing software for hardness testing machines  

The HardWin XL hardness testing software is included with all universal hardness testing machines. It impresses with its intuitive user interface and wide range of functions. In addition, the standard scope of the HardWin XL testing software already includes a wide range of options at no extra charge, including:

  • automatic evaluations
  • Autofocus
  • Automatic light control

Special software extensions can also be purchased, e.g:Weld seam inspection with HardWin XL software

  • for recording hardness curves
  • for scanning
  • for weld seam testing
  • for sintering testing
  • for multi-sampling or mapping

Maximum flexibility and accessories

With different equipment variants, the universal hardness testers can be optimally adapted to your needs - from a device for individual tests to a fully automated system. We also offer an extensive range of accessories for the hardness testers, such as motorized XY cross tables for automated tests or various microsection specimen holders.
