Micro Hardness Testing Picodentor Hm 500
Microhardness testing instrument picodentor HM500 is checked for quality by our expert professionals as per the DIN EN ISO 14577/1 standards. It works on indentation depth method in which indenter is continuously pressed into the material tested with an increasing test load, and then unloaded. This microhardness testing instrument picodentor HM500 is widely demanded in different industrial applications. Furthermore it is extensively used for bulk material and coatings thinner than 1 m (0.04 mils).
Design
- High resolutions for load (less than to equal 1 N) and distance (40 pm) PICONDENTOR can be used for a broad range of applications
- Motorized z axis and fully automated surface detection for higher productivity
- Enhanced high resolution optical system with auto focus and multiple objective turret
- Custom granite structure for enhanced frame stiffness and low noise floor
- Minimal sample preparation due to large working area and open layout
- Measurement of dark surfaces without sample pretreatment
- Measure on the smallest structures and cross sections with high precision programmable X/Y table with a repeatability of less than to equal 0 5 m
- Vickers, Berkovich, spherical and custom indentors are available
- Additional vibration damping through closed measuring chamber and active anti vibration table
- Easy operation through the customizable WIN HCU Software
