Automatic microhardness tester MICROSCAN AC with 10.1" tablet, Windows, shock-resistant, IP65, on docking station

The Microscan microhardness tester range stands out mainly for its versatility of use, as these instruments feature a mobile body that can lift along the vertical screw axis at adjustable height and simultaneously rotate 180°, in order to also enable the measurement of large parts.

Thanks to the special design of the instrument, to ultra-high-quality objectives, and to the optimal optical path, the image of the indentation is incomparably sharp and bright.

Vickers hardness measurement is characterized by high precision and a wide field of applications. Often more convenient than other test methods, since the required calculations and procedures, as well as the related 136° diamond pyramid indenter, are suitable for all metals regardless of hardness.

This test is particularly suitable for thin materials, such as films, cables, surface treatments and small components. With the use of the appropriate indenter, the system also allows the determination of Knoop hardness.

The Microscan range consists of three main versions, operating in compliance with ISO standards (micro-hardness, low hardness and Vickers hardness) and ASTM standards (micro and macro-hardness).

On all MICROSCAN microhardness testers, the modularity of the hardware, software and accessories supplied allows configuring systems with increasing levels of automation to meet every application need, ranging from research centers, to university engineering departments, to calibration laboratories, Quality Control departments, as well as a wide range of industrial applications.

The Microscan AC version allows the determination of Vickers microhardness of a sample by automatically measuring the indentation diagonals, generated directly by the instrument. This system ensures a high degree of reliability and measurement speed, fully in line with the method described in ISO 6507/2 and ASTM E384.

It uses an automatic device that performs load application and indentation generation. The measuring system consists of an optical unit with LED illumination and a high-resolution digital camera that allows reading indentations in two modes:

Available as an upgrade option for all Microscan AC models, consisting of:

The new software package, compatible with the latest Windows versions, is easy to use and quick to learn.

The entire test cycle, as well as the individual preliminary operations, are guided by the computer. To ensure high repeatability of automatic measurement, the software constantly monitors the brightness level and focus. In addition, the software manages the following functions:

COMPUTERIZED AUTOMATIC READING SYSTEM

for managing and measuring the indentation detected by the camera using dedicated software.
