INTEGRAL

Universal hardness tester for automatic Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Shore and CHD test methods in compliance with ASTM and ISO hardness standards. Integral is a top level bench hardness tester for fully automatic test cycles. It is entirely motorized and equipped with an automatic turret with indenters and magnification lenses for indent auto-reading after indentation. This multifunctional turret allows multiple tests in different hardness scales with just one tester, without the need to change indenters or lenses when changing hardness method. Load forces are applied through load cells and electronically controlled in Closed Loop (Pat. Affri). The exact hardness result on the first test and R&R data are at the top of its class, absolute accuracy (better than 0.5 %) in every condition. Integral 1 has a large fixed base and a motorized head with long vertical stroke. Wide touchscreen and a user friendly interface for ease in test planning and a clear view of results. Statistics and diagrams are automatically generated and can be stored with test sessions in the large archive. Hardness tests on all metals: iron, steel, tempered steel, cast iron, brass, aluminum, copper and metal alloys. Heat treatment, hardening, nitriding, cementation and hardfacing. Hard and soft plastics.

FULLY AUTOMATIC TEST CYCLE

The hardness tester’s head moves down until contact is made, clamps the piece, applies the force and makes the indentation. The software will move to the camera view mode where the indent is automatically measured.

CLOSED LOOP (PAT. AFFRI)

Load forces are applied through load cells and electronically controlled in "Closed Loop" with a frequency of 1 khz, assuring perfect linearity in every range. Results are not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment, vibration or problems associated with dead weight systems on traditional testers.

REPEATABILITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY

When testing unstable samples or deflective parts, the AFFRI System will follow the sample without losing contact. Accurate measurements on the first test, even in extreme conditions, eliminate the need for multiple repeated tests. The R&R data is at the top of its class.

MOTORIZED HEAD

Automatic movements with automatic stop when contact is made. Till 500 mm of motorized vertical stroke. The approach of the head to the peace and not the opposite allows more accurate, scable and safe measurements.

CLAMPING SYSTEM (PAT. AFFRI)

Secure contact with the specimen is always mantained, even in the unlikely event of any specimen movement during the operation cycle. The clamping system assures perfect stability of any test piece throughout the test cycle, even if it's oiled, rusty or dirty.

WIDE WORKHOLDER

A working table that supports masses beyond 3000 kg and special fixtures or anvils permits steady hardness measurements on bulky and irregular test pieces which cannot be easily reached by the regular bench hardness testers. It also offers a comfortable working base for small pieces.

MOTORIZED TURRET

Up to 7 slots for different hardness scales indenters, different zoom optics and even a milling surface preparation tool. Auto-rotating and auto-tool-switching for a complete automatic measurement cycle. For single or multi hardness test methods using only one tester.

MOTORIZED X/Y TABLE

Universal hardness tester Motorized table

For automatic multi-indentation measurement cycles. The user can program and set the number of indents to be performed and the related movement of the X/Y table before each indent.

AUTO-FOCUS

The Auto Focus performs an automatic focus adjustment for the selected optic with precise positioning at any magnification. This system reduce reading time thus assures high reading accuracy.

REMOTE SUPPORT

The remote controll connects the AFFRI hardness tester from anywere in the world with AFFRI's engineers. Our experts can remotely diagnose any technical issues, provide additional operator training and update software version.

SOFTWARE INTEGRAL

The software controls the whole instrument avoiding settings errors or operators mistakes:

Setup the hardness test scales, the dwell time, the properties of the camera, the test method standards and the conversion scales.

Manage the hardness tester's tools and check if the installed tool is correct for the selected hardness test method.

List of all the done readings and their associated image. Results chart and statistiscs highlighted according to tollerace values (LOW, OK, HI).
