PCHVT-1000Z Integrated Intelligent Vision Hardness Tester

Product Description

The PCHVT-1000Z Integrated Intelligent Vision Hardness Tester combines optical imaging, electronic control, digital measurement, and intelligent automation into a single compact testing platform. Designed for precise micro-scale hardness evaluation, the system operates through a built-in industrial PC equipped with a high-performance processor and Windows OS. All parameters—test force, dwell time, illumination, measurement mode, and hardness conversion—can be selected directly from the touchscreen tablet or external display .

Integrated with a CCD automatic measurement system, the instrument displays real-time indentation images and performs hardness calculation instantly. The automatic turret switches between objectives and indenter without manual intervention, while the motorized loading mechanism ensures consistent force application. Its visual measurement engine eliminates operator-induced errors and significantly improves efficiency for laboratories, universities, and industrial quality-control environments.

The system also supports extended functionality through network connectivity, external monitors, printers, and dual-screen synchronous imaging, making it versatile for both research and production. With durable die-cast construction, automotive-grade coating, and long-life components, the PCHVT-1000Z delivers reliable performance for years even under intensive daily use.

Side-Integrated Synchronous Touchscreen is an Optional Feature
