Properties

Hardness measurement is the simplest type of material test. From the hardness, it is possible to
obtain a rough idea of the strength properties, and thereby make simple pass/fail judgments.
Choose the instrument to suit your application, whether it be rubber testing or hardness
measurement of surface films.

HMV-2 with Auto Detection System ( Optional )
•Micro Hardness Tester HMV-2
Equipped with an automatic switching function that allows test, load, and load holding time selection
to be performed with touch panel operations. Select from different system configurations to suit your
application. For example, it is possible to have an electromotive revolver automatically perform lens-
indenter changeover and other test operations, or the touch panel can be used at eye-line level with
the externally mounted LCD system.

•Semi-Vickers Hardness Tester HSV-30
A Vickers hardness tester that is capable of a wide load range of 1.96 to 294 N. It can perform the
Vickers harness test for both small and large components as well as metallic materials. The user
interface is a large LCD touch panel that allows easy, fast operation.
