HR-530 Rockwell & Brinell Hardness Tester with Closed-Loop Force Control and Advanced Surface Testing (AI)

Rockwell

Multi-Scale Testing, Curved Surface Capability, and Integrated Touchscreen Interface for Versatile Applications (AI)

The closed loop test force control on the HR-530 Rockwell and Brinell Hardness Tester feature a unique electronic control design capable of Rockwell, Rockwell Superficial, Rockwell testing of plastics (A & B) and Light Force Brinell hardness testing. The HR- 530 is capable of testing the inside wall hardness of rings without cutting the ring into pieces. An easy-to-use brake-start system automatically begins testing when initial force is reached.  

  • The curved surface correction function enables curved surfaces, such as round bars and spheres, to be tested for hardness as easily as flat surfaces 
  • Color touch screen control panel displays statistics and graphs; up to five display formats show needed information 
  • Nose-type indenter enables measurement of a specimen’s flat top surface as well as inside surface of cylindrical specimen 
  • The HR-530 is available in 9.8″ (250mm) or 15.S” (395mm) height capacity models 
  • Complete with a combination diamond indenter, a 1/16″ carbide ball indenter, one flat and one V anvil, 2 HRC, 1 HRBW, 1 HR30TW and 1 HR30N test block 
  • Hardness testing of plastics according to ASTM D785 (Procedure A and B) and 1SO2039-2 are also possible 

Features

  • Supports Rockwell, Rockwell Superficial, Light Force Brinell, and plastic (A & B) hardness testing on a single machine.
  • Capable of measuring the hardness of ring interior walls without cutting the specimen, down to a minimum diameter of 34mm.
  • Features a 5.7-inch color LCD touch-screen for easy operation and clear data visualization.
  • Uses electronic test force control for high-precision loading, ensuring accurate results even with varied materials.
  • Includes an auto-brake and auto-start function where the test cycle begins automatically once the specimen makes contact with the indenter.
  • Offered in two frame sizes to accommodate specimen heights up to 250mm for the standard model or 395mm for the large model.
