Benchtop indentation hardness tester

for rotary tablesfor rubberO-ring

This Micro-IRHD hardness tester with laser centering system is the most advanced solution for the automatic measurement of the hardness of small pieces. To carry out the test you only need to: • Enter the identification of the pieces to be measured • Place the parts to be measured on the specimen holder disc • Press start The specimen holder disc starts rotating, the laser laser centering device finds the perfect testing point and the hardness tester performs the test in the target positions. The positioning and measurement process is repeated, without operator intervention, for all the pieces positioned on the measurement line. The results of the measurements are compared with the tolerance limits ad automatically saved in the database Applications of the instrument The instrument permits to perform the serial measure of micro-irhd hardness of O-rings and small parts eliminating the human influence in the sample positioning. The instrument is useful for: • Product approval or Quality Control tests which require the repeating of the tests on statistical basis • Mold approval tests • Process capability analysis • Testing of small parts difficult to be centered manually O-rings or small parts with a thickness between 1 and 20 mm can be tested. The laser testing process can be stopped to perform tests with standard samples. Exclusive Plus RUBY INDENTOR Gibitre is the only world manufacturer of which uses a Ruby ball indenter for Micro-irhd durometers to ensure: • perfect sphericity • perfect surface finish • very low wear of the ball over time
