Hardness Testers
Clemex distributes several models of hardness testers as part of its turnkey systems, covering test loads from 1 gf to 62.5 kgf. Flexible solutions are offered for Vickers, Knoop and Brinell testing, with a range of automation and magnification options.
Clemex CMT Load Cell Hardness Tester
The Clemex CMT LC Hardness Tester combines two worlds: hardness testing and microscopy.
The integrated load cell features the full micro range of Vickers and Knoop test loads from 1 gf up to 62.5 kgf for small Brinell hardness testing.
Controlled by the Clemex CMT software you can easily upgrade to Clemex Vision and turn your hardness test into a microscope: profit from the powerful image analysis software and analyze e.g. the grain size or layer thickness additionally to the hardness tests.
- Test loads applied by load cell technology
- Computer controlled motorized turret
- Auto focus
- Four objectives; 5x, 10x, 20x and 40x
- Two indenters included: Vickers, Micro Vickers, Knoop and/or Brinell
- One hardness test block included (approx.: 700 HV)
- Automatic loading and unloading
- Software interfaced loading: 1 gf to 62.5 kgf
Key features
One for all levels
You have alternating operators at one machine? The fully automatic version with auto-focus limits the operator influence and delivers repeatable and reproducible test results. Just press start & leave the rest to your testing system.
Load cell technology
With an integrated load cell the hardness tester performs according to a wide range of ISO / ASTM Standards with "closed loop" control. Results are therefore not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment, or vibration (no overshoot). It is further designed for easy testing of e.g. CHD traverses as well as high-sophisticated patterns.
Turn it into a microscope
Profit from the powerful Clemex software for image analysis and turn your hardness tester into a microscope! Just upgrade the software and easily analyze the microstructure of your sample with the camera of your hardness tester. Contact our experts for further information.
Choose your hardness tester
Combine the Clemex CMT hardness testing software with one of our hardness testers. You can choose either a single or dual indenter option – depending on your testing requirements. These field proven systems produce accurate and repeatable results and are fully ASTM and ISO compliant.
