Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testing Machine - Low Force
Equipped both with the latest optical system ideal for measuring the dimensions of indentation images and a test-force loading device that lets you set the desired test force! The HM-200 series is ideal for quality control and mechanical characteristic evaluation using Vickers hardness testing of small areas.
The Mitutoyo HM-210/220 Type A unit utilizes a test-force loading device to set the desired test force and the latest optical system ideal for measuring dimensions of indentation images. Its color touch panel controller provides a full suite of basic functions necessary for hardness testing including converting the hardness value into various types of hardness scales.
Mitutoyo HM-220 Type A V/K Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testing Machine:
- The automatic turret mechanism can manually or automatically change the position of the indenter and objective lens
- The electromagnetic force motor in the loading mechanism enables the test force to be freely selected over the wide range of (0.05gf to 2kgf)
- The ability to freely set load dwell times delivers control over indentation size
- The long working distance objectives enable a comfortable working distance between the objective and the specimen surface reducing the possibility of collision between the specimen and the objective during focusing operations
- Newly-designed MH Plan objectives are optimized for measuring indentation images
- The motorized turret allows for up to four objective lenses and two indenter assemblies to be mounted at the same time
- LEDs, which have a longer life, produce less heat, consume less power, and are more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, are employed for the illumination system
- V/K models utilize both Vickers and Knoop indenters
