HVS-5 Digital Manual Turret Vickers Hardness Tester

Product Description

The HVS-5 Digital Manual Turret Vickers Hardness Tester is designed for microhardness applications requiring accurate measurement and user-friendly data presentation. The upgraded digital micrometer eyepiece reads indentation lengths directly, eliminating manual viewing errors and significantly shortening calculation time. Its optical system, developed by senior optical engineers, produces high-contrast images suitable for both hardness testing and basic microscopic examination.

The rigid cast-aluminum body enhances stability and maintains structural accuracy even after long periods of operation. A high-resolution LCD panel displays hardness value, diagonal lengths, test force, dwell time, test count, statistical results and date-time information in an organized format. With force options ranging from 0.3 to 5 kgf, the HVS-5 supports hardness testing for steels, alloys, plated layers, hardened surfaces, foils, ceramics and fragile materials. Optional accessories such as a built-in printer and external software enable efficient data management and reduce manual documentation effort.

Product Advantages

1. Advanced optical system offers crisp, bright imaging with adjustable illumination for long-view comfort.

2. LCD interface displays hardness scale, force, diagonal lengths, dwell time, count, average and standard deviation for intuitive evaluation.

3. One-piece cast-aluminum housing maintains high stiffness and reduces deformation under repeated use.

4. Digital micrometer eyepiece allows direct confirmation of indentation length for quicker hardness result generation.

5. Manual turret design ensures controlled lens switching without mechanical wear typical of motorized units.

6. Test forces from 0.3 to 5 kgf support thin coatings, microstructures, brittle materials and surface-treated layers.

7. Optional printing and data-export features improve workflow and reporting efficiency.

8. Dual optical channels support eyepiece viewing and CCD camera integration.
