Vickers hardness tester HMV-G

micro Vickersbenchtopfor automobiles

Overview
The HMV-G Series micro Vickers hardness testers provide standardized Vickers hardness measurement for laboratory and production quality control. The lineup includes G31 models with a built-in CCD camera for automatic length measurement, G21 models, fully automated FA variants with electrically driven revolver and XYZ stages, and manual units with optical heads. Optional color-camera models and electric micrometer-equipped XY stages are available.

Features

• Automatic length measurement (G31 series): integrated CCD camera and software implement standardized automatic reading of Vickers indentations.
• Operator-focused software (G31 series): intuitive main operation sequence designed for repeatable workflows across operators.
• Automated operation (FA/XY series): electrically driven revolver and XYZ stages enable unattended series testing; electric micrometer on XY stage allows precise automatic positioning and full-sample/edge recognition (G31-FA).
