Hardness testing fixture holds the lot
No fewer than 19 different specimens can be supported for hardness testing by a single fixture developed by Indentec.
The microprocessor-controlled machine will incorporate a software-driven transfer mechanism designed to pick and place flat steel tensile specimens for hardness testing.
When the specimen is located on the test anvil, three Rockwell tests will be made automatically in sequence on a 1min cycle, the specimen being repositioned after each test.
On completion of the cycle, the transfer mechanism will automatically return the specimen to the robot, the test data being fed to the host computer for processing and conversion to other hardness scales.
Indentec has supplied many automatic machines of this type for test cells in recent years.
