LD3000AX

Universal hardness testers for Vickers, Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell and Brinell hardness test methods in compliance with ASTM and ISO hardness standards. LD3000AX is a hardness testers for fully automatic test cycles including indentation autoreading through the high resolution camera and the autofocus system. Motorized measuring head and equipped with an automatic turret with indenters and magnification lenses. The instrument allows for hardness measuring in different hardness scales with just one tester, without the need of several testers in own laboratory. Load forces are applied through load cells and electronically controlled in Closed Loop (Pat. Affri). Wide touchscreen for easy test planning and a clear view of results. Statistics and charts are automatically generated and can be stored with test sessions in the large archive. User friendly interface with conversion tables and round correction values for tests on covex cylindrical surfaces or various diameters. Hardness tests on all metals: iron, steel, tempered steel, cast iron, brass, aluminum, copper and metal alloys. Heat treatment, hardening, nitriding, cementation and hardfacing. Knoop test on ceramic and glass materials.

Test loads: Variant from 1 to 250 kgf (From 9,807 to 2452 N). Variant from 3 to 3000 kgf (From 29.4 to 29421 N)

One button hardness measurement

The hardness tester measuring head moves down until contact is made, applies the force and make the indentation. The software will move to the camera view mode where the indent is automatically measured.

Closed Loop (Pat. Affri)

Closed loop load cells control load forces with a frequency of 1 khz, assuring perfect linearity in every range. Results are not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment or vibration.

Motorized measuring head

Automatic movements with automatic loading when contact is made. The approach of the head to the sample and not the opposite allows more accurate, scable and safe measurements.

Protected diamond indenter

The Affri diamond indenter has a life-span longer tanks to the special protective cup. The indenter retracts and moves down just after the test piece is clamped thereby minimizing the risk to accidental shock.

Clamping system (Pat. AFFRI)

Universal hardness tester clamping system

Secure contact with the specimen is always mantained, even in the unlikely event of any specimen movement during the operation cycle. The clamping system assures perfect stability of any test piece throughout the test cycle.

Motorized turret (Indenter/Objective)

One slot for an indenter and one slot for an objective. Auto-rotating and auto-tool-switching for a complete automatic measurement cycle.

Software LD3000AX

The preinstalled software controls the whole instrument avoiding setting errors or operators mistakes:
Powerful software for test cycle managing and automatic indent reading. Wide settings parameters for measurement setup, image adjustments, statistics and data storage.
