A hardness tester for all purposes: no matter if operated in a laboratory or in a rough production environment.
The fixed component support and extra-large test table area allow hardness testing of even the largest components.
In the “E” version, the test head is conveniently and dynamically controlled by the integrated asynchronous motor. Test pieces of virtually any size, weighing up to 3500 kg, are securely clamped in the device. The maximum test height is 510 mm.
The dynamic height adjustment enables comfortable positioning control via potentiometer (8 mm/s). Using the 2-hand-safety device allows a moving speed of up to 17 mm/s (included with E variant).
Workpiece recognition with motorized height adjustment facilitates a high test head movement speed of 17 mm/s. Sensor technology enables the workpiece to be recognized and the bracing speed to be reduced accordingly to protect the device and workpiece.
No long tool changeovers for inaccessible test positions. The downholder can be swivelled in and out via manual or motorized action, as required. Furthermore, the clamping elements can be changed easily and adapted to suit the customer‘s component.
Unique operating convenience for large, awkwardly-shaped moulded and formed components and workpieces. The work table, optional with the M and E versions, can be tilted up to 5° – including built-in grips – no extra workpiece clamping necessary!
High-performance induction motor in the E version facilitates a workpiece clamping force of up to 3500 kg. Clamping power is adapted to the test method and is automatically set to be greater than the test force. Operators do not need to set levels and can rely on the device to guarantee safe, optimized adaption.
