HMV-G21 Series/HMV-G21 FA Type/HMV-G20 Series

Micro Vickers Hardness Tester

Standardized automatic length measurement function using a CCD camera built in a novel G frame (G21 Series)
Capable of automatically recognizing the total image of the sample and the sample edges (FA Type)

HMV-G21 Series

  • Equipped with an automatic reading function, adopting highly specialized algorithms.
    Even scratched samples can be measured with good repeatability.
  • User-friendly software has been adopted that allows all the information to be seen at a glance. This improves operational efficiency and eliminates errors.
  • Equipped with a smart, compact built-in CCD camera mechanism. The instrument can be installed neatly and simply, with no need for wiring arrangements.
  • Thanks to the routine inspection graph generating function, the data can be assessed in chronological order. The stability of the testing system can be evaluated using statistical methods, which means the instrument can be used effectively for obtaining ISO 17025*2) and ISO 16949*2) certification.

HMV-G21 FA Type

  • A stage view function has been adopted that allows the user to observe the total image of the sample for specifying arbitrary positions. It is easy to test a desired test position. Furthermore, the system is equipped with a sample shape recognition function that detects the edges of the sample. Test positions can be configured easily along the sample edges.
  • An Excel compatible programming function has been adopted. Test patterns can be programmed even with an office PC.

HMV-G20 Series

  • The design now incorporates an open space at the center of the frame. This makes it possible to place long samples at test positions that could not be tested conventionally.
  • A USB direct transmission function has been adopted, so data can be stored automatically on a USB memory stick. Test data can be extracted and transferred without using a PC. Furthermore, a color LCD touch panel has been adopted with a big, user-friendly display. This improves the visual ease of use, enabling fast, efficient measurements.
