Here are the main functions of NextGen’s NG-5000 – Macro Vickers Hardness tester:

1. Automatic hardness measurement: With the push of a button, the program instantly calculates the hardness value, statistics, and the diagonals of the indentation (also assistance with manual measuring);
2. Hardness curve: The software automatically plots the hardness curve using the depths of test points provided by the user. Durometer curve (s). A depth template file can be used by the user to save and load the depths for further testing for convenience;
3. Converts HV to different hardness scales, including HRA, HRB, HRC, HBW, HK and others);
4. Data memory/store function: All measurements’ data will be saved in the appropriate lower sheet;
5. Statistics: Updates statistical information such as average, minimum and maximum, and standard automatically deviation;6
6. Test report: automatically produces a Word report using a template that is customizable;
7. Data archiving: Images and measurement data can both be archived in a single file for access at a later time;
8. Knoop Scale: This measurement method is configurable;
9. Additional Functions: Consists of fundamental imaging system operations such as image capture, camera calibration, image processing, etc;
10. An integrated camera that the software can use to measure and analyze indentation images; The Machine Turret and Lightness can be controlled via THVS-A software.
