Different industries bring highly diverse sample shapes and material forms for hardness testing. Thin metal foils, tiny precision pins, large casting blocks, curved shaft surfaces and fragile coated layers all demand customized clamping fixtures and test benches. Many general hardness testing systems on the market only come with basic sample holders, so users must purchase extra fixtures separately, which increases procurement cost and compatibility risks. The full automatic testing system provides rich standard and optional accessories to match various workpiece types, reducing extra procurement work for testing labs and factories.
The standard system configuration includes automatic coordinate test bench, platform control box, measurement software with dongle, digital camera, dedicated data cable, brand computer, thin-shaft test bench, thin plate test bench, flat jaw vise, large and small V-blocks, diamond pyramid indenter, 3 pieces of standard micro Vickers hardness blocks and mini printer. Flat jaw vise is used for flat regular samples, while V-blocks secure cylindrical shafts and round bars. Thin plate bench prevents thin foils and coatings from bending during indentation, protecting both samples and the indenter. Thin-shaft bench is designed for slim shaft parts common in bearing and automotive transmission industries.
The machine hardware supports flexible stroke customization. The Z-axis stroke reaches 210mm, and XY travel can be adjusted according to customer requirements. Objective lens combinations can be selected: 10X+40X or 10X+20X, matching different magnification requirements for micro and macro indentation observation. Dwell time is adjustable from 1s to 99s, which fits different material test specifications. The halogen light source ensures stable illumination for clear indentation imaging even for low-reflectivity alloy surfaces. This Vickers hardness tester is built with modular design, so users can add optional modules later such as the microscopic analysis module when lab testing scope expands.
When customers evaluate equipment, they can select model based on test force requirement. HYHVS-5ZL suits low force micro hardness inspection for coatings; HYHVS-10ZL and HYHVS-30ZL balance micro and medium force testing; HYHVS-50ZL handles high force macro Vickers tests. The whole machine dimension is 580×340×660mm, weight around 47kg, suitable for standard laboratory benches with AC220V power supply. Many mold and medical device manufacturers pick customized fixture packages to test tiny precision components. This Vickers hardness tester delivers flexible configuration options to meet unique sample clamping and measurement needs across different industrial sectors.
