The VH1102 and VH1202 micro hardness tester machines, designed for both Knoop and Vickers methods, provide a versatile, cost-effective, and dependable solution for precise micro-hardness testing in quality control and metallurgical research applications. The VH1002-series empowers operators to take measurements using the digital eyepiece in standalone mode or utilise an optional integrated high-resolution camera and the robust DiaMet™ software.
Buehler’s microhardness testers feature a four-position turret, incorporating one indenter position and 10x and 50x objectives. The turret accommodates either four or six objective slots, allowing customisation to match the magnification requirements of your application. The standard 10x and 50x objective can be supplemented with a 100x objective, enabling a total magnification of up to 1000x. Experience the comfort and precision synonymous with a higher segment.
Key Features
-
Automated Load Selection The manual load selector knob is replaced by a robust motor, enabling automatic load changes without manual intervention. The fast and quiet motorised turret is seamlessly integrated into a fully automatic test cycle, initiated with a single push of the start button.
-
Versatility
- Designed for both Vickers and Knoop testing, conforming to international standards ISO 6507 and ASTM E384.
- Boasting a segment-leading load range of 0.01 – 2 kgf across nine individual load steps.
-
Increased Ease of Use with Automation
- Basic: Gain complete control of the tester and visualise indents on your PC screen using the built-in camera and DiaMet software. A robust data management tool facilitates evaluation and data storage.
- Semi-Automatic: Facilitates the setup of easy traverses for CHD or NHT measurements with its motorised XY-stage, automatically measuring indent diagonals to minimise user influence.
- Full-Automatic: Leveraging a camera, motorised XY-stage, and auto-focus, the fully automatic DiaMet systems autonomously capture and measure hundreds of indents without operator interference.
The VH1102 and VH1202 micro hardness testers not only streamline the micro-hardness testing process but also offer a range of automation options, providing adaptability to diverse user preferences and application requirements.
