PCHVT-10Z Integrated Intelligent Vision Vickers Hardness Tester

Product Description

The PCHVT-10Z integrates Vickers hardness testing with intelligent vision technology to automate loading, imaging, indentation recognition, and hardness calculation. Using a CCD-based imaging module, the system displays clear indentation images in real time and performs automatic measurement to reduce operator influence. All test parameters—including force, dwell time, conversion units, and statistical results—can be selected and processed directly on the computer. The built-in control system supports multi-point measurement, hardness-depth curve analysis, batch data storage, and report generation, enabling precise and highly efficient hardness evaluation across metals, coatings, microstructures, and treated layers.

The side-integrated synchronous touchscreen is optional

Vickers Automatic Measurement & Control System

The system automates the full test cycle, including loading, holding, unloading, indentation observation, image capture, and hardness measurement. The CCD imaging module provides clear indentation visualization, and the software supports multi-point spacing measurement for case-depth analysis, statistical calculation, conversion, result judgment, curve plotting, and graphic data storage. It enables sequential testing under different loads and significantly reduces manual error.

Software Features

1. Hardness tester control: turret switching, loading, dwell-time setting, brightness control, force feedback.

2. Automatic measurement of indentations with automatic curve plotting and updated statistics.

3. Manual measurement mode supporting four-point and diagonal methods.

4. Hardness conversion among HB, HR, HV, HK with correction for curved samples.

5. Statistical functions including average, variance, Cp, Cpk with optional auto-save.

6. Individual and batch data storage with image saving and document recall.

7. Automatic WORD/EXCEL report generation with hardness values, statistics, images, and curves.

8. Supports Knoop hardness measurement.

9. Supports indentation fracture toughness measurement.

10. Includes full image processing tools: capture, calibration, enhancement, geometric measurement, annotation, album management, and scaled printing.

Applications

Suitable for metals, non-ferrous materials, foils, hard alloys, coatings, heat-treated layers, nitrided/carburized layers, plating layers, microstructures, glass, and wafers. Ideal for laboratories, production QC, micro-analysis, and material research.
