Brinell hardness tester

benchtopwith image analysiscomputerized

Introduction
CCD image automatic measuring system integrates PC software with a Brinell hardness tester to perform indentation capture, automatic diameter measurement and Brinell hardness calculation. The system displays the captured indentation on-screen via a CCD camera (1.30 Megapixel), reduces visual error and enables repeatable, operator-assisted or fully automatic measurements. Test settings, results, trend curves and reports are managed within the software and can be exported to editable WORD or EXCEL files.

Functions

• Basic functions: image capture, calibration, image processing, geometric measurement, annotation, image library management and scheduled printing.
• Automatic measurement: automatic detection of indentation, diameter measurement and Brinell hardness (HB) calculation.
• Hardness conversion: conversion of HB to other scales (e.g. HV, HRC/HV/HR) according to selectable standards.
• Data statistics: automatic computation of mean, variance and other statistical indicators for hardness data.
• Out-of-spec alarm: automatic flagging of abnormal values and configurable alarms when results exceed preset limits.
• Report generation: automated generation of test reports in WORD or EXCEL formats; report templates are editable by the user.
• User interaction: one-click capture/run operation; manual measurement and result adjustment via mouse drag-and-drop.
• Noise and surface robustness: advanced image recognition for reliable indentation detection on textured or noisy sample surfaces; two automatic modes address challenging conditions.
• Automatic calibration: calibration using a supplied calibration grid for full-field correction of lens distortion and improved measurement accuracy.
