The measurement cycle and the physical contact with the sample by the indenter are managed by the software with phase control by load cells in closed loop load control (patent AFFRI) this eliminates manual errors and the influences of external vibrations. With a single motion the tester automatically descends toward the sample locking it and then performs the hardness test measurement cycle. Test measurements that are fully controlled by the computer eliminates human error and increases the accuracy, repeatability and reproducible of the measurements.
The Anvil specimen holder can accommodate predetermined sample holder for each chord dimension of ‘OR’ according to ASTM 1414 without having to perform manual settings.
The measurements are stored in the computer hard drive and analysed for statistical processes.
