Instrumented Indentation Test
Working in collaboration with the German Federal Institute for Materials Research (BAM), the Zwick Group is at the cutting edge of this innovative method and plays an active role in standards committees at national and international level.
Hardness Testing Machine ZHU zwicki-Line 0.2/Z2.5 and ZHU zwicki-Line 2.5/Z2.5
Mount a hardness measurement head on a zwicki-Line testing machine and the result is the ZHU/Z2.5 - the most flexible, versatile hardness testing machine in the world. The head is designed for use with all Zwick materials testing machines and is also suitable for automated applications. A change of test fixture additionally allows this modular testing system to be used for compression and flexure tests.
Integrated into the hardness measurement head are a digital travel-measuring system and an exchangeable indentor with sensor foot. All hardness tests using indention depth measurement are covered, including Martens hardness HM, Rockwell hardness, ball indentation hardness, Vickers depth measurement HVT und Brinell depth measurement HBT.
To carry out hardness tests to Vickers, Knoop or Brinell, an add-on optical unit is used with the hardness measurement head. This unit consists of a measurement microscope and a linear displacement unit which allows the measurement microscope and load unit to change positions, avoiding movement of components under test. A motorized version of the displacement unit is available, providing a fully automatic testing system.
testXpert® is the natural choice of testing software, with a cost-effective add-on developed exclusively for optical hardness testing methods.
