The SwissMax 600...

...is equipped with an integrated PC operated by Windows. Test results are displayed on a 12“TFT Monitor with Touch screen, also integrated. The handling can’t be easier; the operator overlooks several windows at the same time.
...is operated by the GMS software, i.e. universal software for hardness testing machines, developed by GNEHM Härteprüfer AG for its new modular system to measure hardness within production lines.
...is equipped with a digital USB camera of 3 Mega Pixel, a LED is providing the illumination. The GMS software enables fully automatic measurements of tetragonal and circular indentation, leaving the freedom to operate these manually.
...monitors test loads between 9.804 N and 2451 N (1 to 250) with a precision of 0.1% over 3 million divisions, a reproducibility never reached before in this kind of measurements.
...erfasst Prüflasten zwischen 9.804 N und 2451 N (1 bis 250 kg) mit einer Präzision von 0.1 % über 3 Millionen Zellen.
...has a sensor to measure the depth (Rockwell, ball and indentation hardness testing as per ISO 2039) with a resolution of 0.1 µ. Also the resolution of the optical measurement is of 0.1 µ, even for automatic measurements.
...can keep record of many calibrations, as i.e., for each procedure or for particular sections of the load range and, of course, for each magnification of the optical system.
...indicates if it is working correctly, a control window displays any malfunction or damage.
...can drive or communicate with a positioning system as a cross table or a robot.
...provides an easy way to select programms: every test is automatically registered and archiving; it enables the operator to get back at any time to a previous procedure to pursue the series, make a single test or start a new series.
...keeps record of settings as light intensity and contrast; it is not necessary to optimize those again on return to the same article.
...can, at any time, send the data to a printer or export the data in a net.
...ememorizes a picture of each indentation to make it possible to control the measurements until a protocol is issued or until the data has been exported to the net.
...can store at any time any additional hardness test, even those that are not standardized.
...can be operated in any of the four languages in memory: German, French, English and Italian. Any other language is optionally available.
