universal hardness tester / Rockwell / Brinell / Vickers

The ZHU/Z2.5 is the most versatile and flexible hardness testing machine in the world, It has a Zwicki Line testing machine with a hardness measurement head which contains a digital travel-measuring system and an exchangeable indenter with sensor foot. It can be used with all Zwick Materials testing machines and in automated applications.

All indentation depth measurement method hardness tests, including Martens hardness HM, Rockwell hardness, and ball indentation hardness can be performed. Vickers depth measurement HVT, Brinell depth measurement HBT, and Knoop tests can be performed with an optical unit accessory attached to the head. This unit contains a measuring microscope and a linear displacement component, which allows the microscope and load unit to exchange positions without the need to move any components under test.

A simple change of the test setup allows compression and flexure tests to be performed.

A motorized version of the displacement unit enables fully automatic testing.

The testXpert? software is the best fit for this setup, as it features a cost-effective module developed for optical hardness testing methods.
