HVS-1000Z Computerized Auto-Turret Micro Vickers Hardness Tester

Product Description

The HVS-1000Z Computerized Auto-Turret Micro Vickers Hardness Tester is engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and efficient microhardness measurement for laboratories and industrial quality-control applications. Equipped with an upgraded digital micrometer eyepiece, the system enables direct reading of indentation lengths on the display, significantly reducing operator error and accelerating measurement speed. Its automated turret intelligently switches between objectives and the indenter, preventing mechanical misalignment while improving workflow efficiency during repeated testing cycles.

Featuring a dual-channel optical system, the instrument allows simultaneous eyepiece and CCD observation, providing clear and high-resolution indentation imaging. The automatic loading system supports test forces from 10 gf to 1000 gf, ensuring stable force application and reliable hardness results. With a robust die-cast aluminum structure and automotive-grade coating, the HVS-1000Z offers long-term mechanical rigidity, vibration resistance, and durability during continuous operation. Combined with advanced software functions—including hardness-depth curve plotting, hardness conversion, data statistics, and automated report generation—the HVS-1000Z is a powerful solution for microstructure evaluation, surface layer hardness profiling, and coating analysis.

Product Advantages

1. Digital micrometer eyepiece enables fast, direct indentation length reading for improved accuracy.

2. Auto turret switches between objective lenses and the indenter automatically, preventing mechanical damage and ensuring smooth operation.

3. Large LCD display clearly presents hardness values, test forces, dwell time, indentation lengths, statistics, and test instructions.

4. High-resolution dual optical channel (eyepiece + CCD) provides stable imaging without switching optical paths.

5. 100× observation and 400× measurement magnification ensure precise microstructure analysis with a 0.01 μm digital resolution.

6. Automatic loading, holding, and unloading maintain consistent force application across multiple test cycles.

7. Die-cast aluminum housing provides long-term structural stability and surface durability with automotive-grade coating.

8. Supports multi-scale hardness conversion (HV, HB, HR) compliant with ASTM, ISO, and JJG testing standards.

9. Optional USB data output and built-in printer provide flexible data collection and reporting.

10. Suitable for metals, alloys, coatings, hardened layers, foils, thin sheets, microstructures, and brittle materials.

Software Features

1. Hardening Curve: Users can input depth points manually, and the software automatically generates hardness–depth curves, calculating hardened layer depth with template-saving support.

2. Hardness Conversion & Correction: Converts Vickers hardness into HB, HR, and other scales; supports curvature correction for spherical and cylindrical surfaces; provides validity verification.

3. Statistical Analysis: Automatically calculates average value, variance, Cp, Cpk, and other QC parameters.

4. Automatic Alarm: Highlights values beyond upper or lower limits to assist with pass/fail evaluation.

5. Test Report: Automatically generates Word or Excel documents, including images, hardness curves, and measurement tables.

6. Data Storage: Saves all original images and measurement data into a single document for future review.

7. Knoop Hardness & Fracture Toughness: Supports HK mode and fracture toughness measurement.

8. Imaging Tools: Includes image capture, video acquisition, processing functions, geometric measurement, annotation tools, gallery management, and fixed-magnification printing.
