HMV-2 
Micro Hardness Tester

LCD Touch Panel for Easy Operation, Automatic Load Change Function, Superior User Interface

The micro hardness tester is a piece of equipment that is indispensable to metallographic research, product, quality control, and the creation of product certification materials. For this type of work, it is important to be able to measure the hardness of small parts and a metallic structures used in precision equipment, processed surface layers, metal plating layers, etc. This type of measurement must be performed on a limited small area with small damage to the area being measured, and must yield extremely reliable results. The HMV Series hardness testers have been designed to meet these demanding conditions, providing outstanding performance with ease of use and user friendly design.

Automatic Load Change Mechanism
Test load and load duration can be selected by LCD display and Touch panel operation.

Test Modes to Match the Objective
Standard and easy testing
In addition to standard testing mode which allows the setting of various test conditions, easy testing mode can also be selected for quick, hardness measurement based only on test load and load duration settings.
Serial testing / Single testing
In serial testing mode, first a batch of indentations is made, and then the diagonal length of those indentations are measured. In single testing mode, the diagonal length of indentation is measured after each load application.

High Accuracy Measurement
The minimum unit of diagonal length measurement is 0.01 p m (when the objective lens is X40), thus high-accuracy measurement is possible.

Excellent Man-Machine Interface
The use of an easy viewing LCD touch panel makes operation, including test condition settings and display of results, quick and easy to understand.

Convenient Analysis & Graph Display Functions
A wealth of analysis functions is included as standard features, such as statistical calculation data editing, conversion, graph display and an acceptable/not acceptable decision function.

Automatically Revolving Electric Turret (only with HMV-2T)
After an indentation is made, the electric turret automatically revolve, ma to measure the diagonal length of the indentation. This saves both the time and labor of the operator.
