Product Description

The HVS-50Z Digital Automatic Turret Vickers Hardness Tester is engineered for laboratories and industrial facilities that require high-force microhardness testing with automated optical switching and consistent image quality. Its digital micrometer eyepiece enables direct reading of indentation lengths, improving measurement speed and minimizing operator influence. The automatic turret system performs seamless transitions among observation, loading and measuring positions, eliminating alignment errors caused by manual handling.

The optical system incorporates multi-layer coating technology to enhance brightness uniformity and edge clarity, ensuring stable imaging even at higher test forces. The instrument’s cast-aluminum housing improves structural rigidity, reducing deformation and drift during extended operation. A large LCD display provides clear visualization of hardness values, diagonal readings, dwell time, test force, counts and statistical results, simplifying daily operation and enhancing traceability.

With selectable test forces from 1 to 50 kgf, the HVS-50Z supports hardness testing across steels, alloy components, heat-treated layers, coatings, ceramics, glass substrates and brittle engineering materials. Optional accessories—such as a large LCD screen module, built-in printer and software—expand data management capabilities and support professional laboratory documentation.
