Flexible testing

Due to the wide test load ranges possible, the Duramin-650 is suitable for many different applications that previously needed several individual macro indentation hardness testers.

Reliable precision

Based on load cell technology, the Duramin-650 conforms to all standards while offering excellent accuracy and repeatability throughout the entire load range.

High capacity

Duramin-650 is optionally available with a motorized XY-stage for fully automatic testing of test series.

KEY FEATURES

  • Duramin 650 Stable testing conditions

    Stable testing conditions

    The motorized test head, or V-concept, ensures rigid testing conditions without compromising on the testing height capacity. The sample remains at the same height to secure accurate and reproducible results, regardless of the sample size and weight.

    Stable testing conditions
  • Duramin 650 Perfect working height

    Perfect working height

    The Duramin-650 automatically adjusts to the correct working height by moving the measurement turret down until it touches the sample's surface.

    Perfect working height
  • Duramin 650 Automatic protection

    Automatic protection

    The machine automatically stops during a collision or any unexpected vibration or movements. This protects the indenters and lenses from being damaged and also provides optimal operator safety.

    Automatic protection
  • Duramin 650 Automatic exchange of indenter and lens

    Automatic exchange of indenter and lens

    Duramin-650 is available with a six-position automatic turret that facilitates the exchange of up to three indenters and three objective lenses. The exchange of indenter and lens runs fully automatically, hereby avoiding misalignment and operator errors.

  • Duramin 650 Simple test execution

    The optional overview camera makes it easy to position the test point series across the sample and execute the test series with a few mouse clicks.

  • Duramin 650 Test point editor

    Optional test point editor

    Duramin-650 is also available with a built-in test point editor to define and set up measurement lines for fully automatic testing.

  • Duramin 650 Relevant software

    Software modules for specific needs

    Application specific software modules are available for a variety of needs: a weld measurement module, surface mapping, edge detection, and a Kc fracture toughness calculator.

  • Duramin 650 Load cell based

    Accuracy during load application

    Through eliminating the common overshoot and undershoot from dead weight systems, load cell technology ensures the highest degree of accuracy and repeatability during load application. The absence of mechanical weights not only eliminates friction problems but also makes the equipment less sensitive to misalignment caused by vibrations. Combined with a motorized turret, the entire measurement cycle of loading, indenting, unloading, focusing, and evaluating is carried out extremely quickly.
