The HMV-2 micro hardness tester is indispensable to today´s metallographic researcher. This type of work requires the ability to
precisely measure the hardness of small parts, metallic structures used in precision equipment, processed surface layers, and metal plating layers, all with little damage to the specimen. The HMV Series hardness testers have been designed to meet these demanding conditions, providing outstanding performance with ease-of-use and user friendly design.

Features –

LCD Touch Panel Provides an Easy User Interface for inputting Load Rates, Duration, and Other Testing Parameters Automatic Load-Change Mechanism – The LCD touch panel facilitates easy selection of test load, load duration, and
other testing parameters.

Select Test Modes to Match Your Objective -  The HMV offers several different test modes to meet the needs of todays researcher. In addition to the standard test mode, which provides a simple load/duration indentation, the researcher is also able to select other modes
for more complex measurements.

High Accuracy Measurement – A minimum unit of diagonal length measurement of 0.01µm (when using the X40 objective lens) ensures measurement accuracy to the most exacting standards.

Convenient Analysis & Graph Display Functions -  A wealth of analysis functions are included as standard, such as statistical
calculation data editing, conversion, graph display, and a go/no-go decision function.

Automatic Revolving Electric Turret (only with HMV-2T) – Automatic rotation of the turret between indenter and objective lens
accelerates operator productivity, thus saving time and money.

Applications –

Metal Microstructures: Small Precision Devices (Gears, Axels, Cams)

Hardened Surface Layers: Wire materials (tire cords, piano wire)

Welds and other adhesion points: Thin samples (metal foil, razor blades)

Paint layers and metallic plating: Electronic components (ICs, PCBs)

Fine Ceramics:  Medical-related items (artificial teeth, bones)
