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

Load forces are applied through load cells and electronically 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, vibration or problems associated with dead weight systems on traditional testers.
 

When testing unstable samples or deflective parts, the AFFRI System will follow the sample without losing contact. Accurate measurements on the first test, even in extreme conditions, eliminate the need for multiple repeated tests. The R&R data is at the top of its class.

Automatic movements with automatic stop when contact is made. Till 500 mm of motorized vertical stroke. The approach of the head to the peace and not the opposite allows more accurate, scable and safe measurements.

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, even if it's oiled, rusty or dirty.

A working table that supports masses beyond 3000 kg and special fixtures or anvils permits steady hardness measurements on bulky and irregular test pieces which cannot be easily reached by the regular bench hardness testers. It also offers a comfortable working base for small pieces.

Up to 7 slots for different hardness scales indenters, different zoom optics and even a milling surface preparation tool. Auto-rotating and auto-tool-switching for a complete automatic measurement cycle. For single or multi hardness test methods using only one tester.

For automatic multi-indentation measurement cycles. The user can program and set the number of indents to be performed and the related movement of the X/Y table before each indent.

The Auto Focus performs an automatic focus adjustment for the selected optic with precise positioning at any magnification. This system reduce reading time thus assures high reading accuracy.

The remote controll connects the AFFRI hardness tester from anywere in the world with AFFRI's engineers. Our experts can remotely diagnose any technical issues, provide additional operator training and update software version.
