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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
