PDF Datasheet | Request Info

Features & Benefits Fully automated operation Performs micro-indentation hardness testing to ASTM and DIN specification Standard and custom traverse pattern capability Custom reporting capability with a professional look Vickers or Knoop indentation measurement Dynamic detection of the indentation corrects for variations in illumination intensity for improved repeatability Specimen data and hardness values are stored in the integrated database for easy search and reporting

OmniMet MHT provides full automation of the hardness testing process on supported testers with minimal operator involvement for improved productivity. The operator has only to load the specimen, select the required profile of indentation pattern and initiate the test. The automated operation leaves the user free to undertake other work. Upon starting the test, all operations are automated, including rotation of the motorized turret from the objective to the selected indenter, moving the motorized stage to the indent positions, initiating the indent cycle for each indent, rotating the turret back to the measuring objective, focusing and measuring all of the indents, and finally, providing a report of the hardness profile with a determination of the case hardness depth if required. Following this automated operation, the test data may be saved to the MHT database for future review or shared with co-workers using the supplied sample data viewer software.
