Product Functions

Automatic Measurement System

User-friendly Interface:Enables automatic control of the hardness tester, including automatic objective & indenter switching, auto-focusing (optional), and automatic loading control. The light intensity and dwell time can be configured. Users can select and control objective/indenter switching, with parameter changes reflected in the software interface. The software can command the indenter to automatically move to the loading position, perform loading, dwell, and unloading.

Stage Movement Control:Supports automatic point selection via mouse click on the interface. Users can set the start position for linear scanning and random position movement. The motorized X‑Y stage can be moved in any direction via mouse operation, with automatic homing and flexible coordinate reset. The software supports programmable stage movement, and can perform hardened layer gradient testing on specimens. It can store and access multiple specimens, apply different test programs to various specimens, and generate reports with individual test programs.

Data Output & Editing:Outputs various measurement data, hardness value tables, hardened layer depth, maximum value, average value, and minimum value. Displays and outputs the hardness gradient curve with corresponding hardness values.

Continuous marking and multi-point testing function:According to the testing requirements, the test line segment can be drawn. The hardness test can be performed by inputting parameters such as the distance between test points, the number of indentations, and the angle. Effective hardened layer curves and data can be output.

Profile Edge Scanning Function

The system can scan the complete contour of the specimen along its edge, allowing the operator to set the testing path or select measuring points directly.

The system will automatically adjust the starting point of the test line to the edge of the specimen. This function significantly improves the degree of automation and serves as an ideal auxiliary function for the automatic capture feature.

Other Functions

System Linkage: Realizes communication and linkage between the system and the hardness tester via serial port.

Test Force Linkage: The system detects test force changes during switching and displays them in real time.

Turret Linkage: The turret (objective lens / indenter) is controlled by software, no manual operation required.

Loading Linkage: Loading operation is controlled by software, no manual operation required.

Auto Focusing: Automatic focusing function (optional).

Measurement Linkage: Software controls turret rotation and loading, and reads Vickers hardness values directly.

Image Acquisition: Displays hardness images in real time; images can be saved and printed.

Automatic Measurement: Automatically identifies the four vertices of indentation with high speed and accuracy. Multiple professional algorithms are available for different indentations. Supports continuous testing, instant test, and indentation at specified coordinates.

Auto Point Location: Clicks near the four vertices; the system automatically locates the optimal vertex, greatly reducing human error.

Diagonal Measurement: Reads hardness value by selecting the top-left and bottom-right vertices of the indentation.

Four-Point Measurement: Reads hardness value by selecting the four vertices of the indentation.

Micro‑Force Measurement: Specially designed for micro test forces (10 gf, 25 gf, 50 gf). Realizes real-time magnification of tiny indentations without reducing resolution, improving measurement accuracy.
