For quick and easy analysis, the automated turret enables the exchange of the objective lenses and the indenter. The load, dwell period, and release phases of the macro testing force are all entirely automated. After the unit completes the test, the objective lens will automatically return to its original focus condition, which is over the indentation. This makes it possible to calculate the Vickers Hardness value by taking a quick measurement of the indentation’s diagonals.

The test load for this Vickers method ranges from 1 gf according to ISO standards and from 1 gf up to 120 kgf according to ASTM standards. These standards demonstrate that this method may be used to measure hardness for all load levels, from micro to macro to low.

NextGen’s Macro Vickers Hardness Tester uses Automatic Motorized Turret – Objective Lenses and Indenter.
