2026 New product: Fully Automatic Vickers Hardness Tester
One Button Operation,Auto Z-axis Lifing ,Auto Focus
I. Are You Facing These Challenges?
1. High Operational Threshold & Steep Training Costs
Traditional Vickers hardness testers demand highly skilled operators. Manually adjusting focus and finding a clear interface leaves room for human error, easily leading to measurement deviations. New recruits often require weeks of mentorship before they can work independently. Worse still, staff turnover means you have to start the training process all over again.
2. Low Efficiency & Time-Consuming Batch Testing
Every step—from sample placement, focusing, load application, dwell time, reading, to data conversion—relies entirely on manual operation. Testing just dozens of samples a day eats up most of the working hours. This creates a heavy reliance on specific operators, and inevitably, testing results vary from person to person.
II.Solution Here! Laizhou Laihua Fully Automatic Vickers Hardness Tester
Simply place the sample on the worktable, and the motorized Z-axis leadscrew will automatically raise or lower it. Once the focus plane is located, just press the start button to automatically complete the entire process: load application, dwell time, focusing, and measurement. The hardness value is displayed directly on the screen. New employees can get up to speed quickly, fundamentally resolving the pain points of “difficult operation and expensive training.”
III. Core Highlights
1. Motorized Z-Axis Leadscrew
The worktable is driven by a motorized leadscrew for precise upward and downward movement. This eliminates the need for manual handwheel operation, ensuring highly accurate positioning and excellent repeatability.
2.Auto Focus Function
After the indentation is completed, the turret automatically switches to the measuring objective lens. There is no need to manually turn the focusing handwheel, as the system automatically achieves a sharp focus on the image.
3.Fully Automated Testing Process
From load application and dwell time to indentation recognition and hardness calculation, the entire testing process is fully automated.
4.Auto Measurement Imaging System
Equipped with a high-definition imaging system, the indenter is automatically measured. The system intelligently recognizes the edges of the indentation and calculates the hardness value, completely eliminating visual reading errors caused by the human eye.
IV. Traditional Models vs. This Upgraded Model
For laboratories currently using traditional Vickers hardness testers, what exactly changes after the upgrade?
| Operation Step | Traditional Model | Upgraded Model |
|---|---|---|
| Worktable Elevation | Manual elevation via handwheel | Computer-controlled elevation |
| Focusing | Manual focusing handwheel to find a clear interface | Auto-focus, completed automatically by the system |
V. Operating Procedures
1. Sample Placement: Place the test sample steadily on the worktable.
2. Parameter Setting: Select the test force, dwell time, and other relevant parameters.
3. Find the Focus Plane: Press the button to raise the Z-axis automatically until a clear image of the specimen is visible on the computer screen.
4. One-Touch Start: Press the start button. The indenter will contact the specimen, followed by electronic load application and automatic dwell time.
5. Auto-Measurement: The turret automatically switches to the measuring position, followed by auto-focusing, indentation image recognition, and hardness value calculation.
6. Display Results: The hardness value, indentation size, and converted scales are displayed directly as the test results.
VI. Technical Features
1. Closed-Loop Load Control System – Ensures high test force accuracy, with excellent indication repeatability and stability.
2. High-Resolution Touch Screen – Provides intuitive and clear display, features adjustable backlighting, and supports energy-saving mode.
3. Digital Measuring Eyepiece – Eliminates the need for reference tables or manual diagonal input; simply press the button to automatically calculate the hardness value.
4. 20-Level Adjustable Illumination – Features a sliding adjustment mechanism to accommodate different materials and surface conditions.
5. Precision Optical System Design – Features a uniquely precise integration of mechanics, optics, and lighting, resulting in clearer indentation imaging.
6. Multiple Data Output Options – Supports data upload to a computer to generate reports in Word and Excel formats.
7. Multiple Hardness Scale Conversions – Supports conversions based on various international standards, including ASTM, DIN, and GB.
