Product Description

The CHVS-10 Digital Vickers Hardness Tester is an optical-mechanical-electronic integrated system designed with a closed-loop loading control structure to ensure high force accuracy and consistent repeatability. Its industrial digital display provides clear visibility of hardness value, indentation length, dwell time, test force, brightness level, and measurement count. Equipped with a digital micrometer eyepiece, the instrument calculates hardness automatically by simply pressing the eyepiece button after measuring the indentation, eliminating manual lookup and reducing test time. The CHVS-10 supports manual turret switching, allowing smooth transitions among observation, loading, and measurement positions.

Product Advantages

1. High-resolution optical system—developed by senior optical engineers—produces bright, distortion-free images with adjustable illumination for long analysis sessions.

2. Industrial digital panel displays four-digit hardness values, diagonal lengths (D1/D2), dwell time (1–98 s), test force (0.1–10 kgf), measurement count, and conversion scales.

3. One-piece cast-aluminum housing ensures structural rigidity, high wear resistance, and long-term dimensional stability even under continuous operation.

4. Digital micrometer eyepiece allows direct indentation-to-hardness conversion, improving efficiency and eliminating manual calculation.

5. Manual turret switching provides precise mechanical control for observation, indentation, and measurement alignment.

6. Closed-loop loading control ensures consistent force output across HV0.1–HV10 levels, improving measurement uniformity.

7. Dual optical channels (eyepiece + CCD) allow simultaneous visual observation and digital imaging.

8. High optical resolution of 0.0625 μm and a 200 μm measurement range support micro-indentation testing for thin layers and small components.

Application Range

• Suitable for precision micro-indent testing of thin metallic foils, miniature machined components, and micro-fabricated structures.

• Ideal for evaluating surface-engineered layers such as anodized films, carburized points, fine nitrided zones, and micro-hardened areas.

• Used for hardness mapping on small functional parts, connector terminals, cutting tool edges, micro-gears, and compact molds.

• Supports research involving brittle micro-materials, sapphire chips, ceramic micro-elements, sensor wafers, and fine optical substrates.

• Applicable to laboratory material development, micro-scale mechanical studies, and precision manufacturing quality verification.
