CHVS-10Z Digital Auto-Turret Vickers Hardness Tester

Product Description

The CHVS-10Z Digital Auto-Turret Vickers Hardness Tester is an advanced optical-mechanical-electronic integrated system that uses a closed-loop loading control structure to deliver high force accuracy and excellent measurement repeatability. A large high-resolution LCD screen provides clear visualization of the test force, indentation lengths, dwell time, measurement count, conversion scales, and real-time hardness results. Equipped with a digital micrometer eyepiece, the instrument automatically calculates hardness with a single button press after indentation measurement. The auto-turret mechanism completes the switching of observation, loading, and measuring positions, ensuring smooth, efficient, and highly stable operation for laboratory and industrial environments.

Product Advantages

1. High-precision optical system designed by senior engineers provides bright, distortion-free images; illumination is adjustable for extended operation comfort.

2. Large industrial LCD panel displays four-digit hardness values, diagonal lengths (D1/D2), dwell time (1–99 s), force levels (0.1–10 kgf), brightness, test count, and conversion scales.

3. One-piece cast-aluminum housing ensures long-term structural rigidity and resistance to deformation, with an automotive-grade coating that improves durability.

4. Digital micrometer eyepiece enables direct conversion of indentation to hardness values without manual lookup, enhancing speed and accuracy.

5. Auto-turret switching enables precise and rapid transitions between observing, loading, and measuring positions, reducing operator workload.

6. Closed-loop loading control maintains accurate force output across HV0.1–HV10 scales and improves repeatability.

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

8. High optical resolution of 0.0625 μm and a 200 μm measuring range support fine micro-indentation analysis on thin layers, coatings, and small components.

9. Optional built-in printer and software allow data printing, storage, and PC-based measurement to eliminate manual error.

Application Range

• Micro-indentation testing for precision metallic micro-parts, connector pins, and miniature components.
