SPECIMEN AUTO-CONTACT AND CLAMPING

Industrial testing machine analyzing metal cylinder hardness with precision controls.

Fully motorized adjustable testing vertical capacity including automatic contact with test surface and clamping from every distance with single start input. The activation of the test cycle is automatic, it starts when the head makes contact with the specimen which is automatically recognized at any position within the vertical stroke.

Vertical capacity from indenter to the base LD750: 720mm / 28″ LD250: 390mm / 15″

Horizontal capacity from column to the indenter LD750: 265 mm / 10.5” LD250: 190 mm / 7.5”

Our universal hardness tester is a robust, reliable system, designed to function even in hostile environments. Heavy and bulky samples can be easily placed using a forklift or overhead-traveling crane.

AUTO-COMPENSATION OF ALL DEFLECTIONS

When testing unstable samples or deflecting parts, the AFFRI System will follow the sample without losing contact thanks to its stroke for indenter and clamping hood.

Load forces are applied through load cells and controlled in “Closed Loop” with a frequency of 1 khz, assuring perfect linearity in every range. Results are not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment or vibration.

Accurate measurements on the first test, even in extreme conditions, eliminate the need for repeated tests. The R&R data is at the top of its class.

AUTOFOCUS

Automatic focus adjustment for each optic with precise positioning at any magnification by mean of real image scanning brightness, at continuous step for infinite accuracy. This system assures high reading standards, reproducible focusing quotes and reduces reading time. Hardness results are not affected by subjectivity.

Hardness test result: 198 HBW10/1000, indentation diameter 2.40341mm on scratched metal surface.

AUTO-READING THROUGH CAMERA

From perfectly polished to rough & etched samples, the software automatically measure indents on any sample surface. Automatic light regulation on dark, opaque or polished samples. The software controls and adjusts the light and contrast to find the right combination and measure the indent.
