Portable Optical Vicker Hardness Tester Direct, Automatic, Fast
Easy Operation
As the first portable instrument ever, the POT does not determine
the size of the indentation of the Vickers diamond, and
consequently the hardness of the material, indirectly but directly:
”Through Indenter Viewing” means that you can see the indentation
of the Vickers diamond "grow" on the surface of the test object at
the same time as the test load is applied – this is ensured by
special optics and a CCD camera. As soon as the test load is
reached, the indentation is automatically evaluated and
transferred,which means that the diagonals aredirectly determined,
without making adetour via a measuring microscope.
Your benefits: the measurement is not only faster but also excludes
subjective errors in the determination of diagonal lengths.
Plus: by representation on the display,the POT is the only hardness
tester to enable direct control and immediate evaluation of the
measurement quality.In addition, the image of the indentation
enables direct recognition of the diamond's condition.
POT Advantages – your benefit:
POT can be used irrespective of the material – without any
additional calibration. You can use the same instrument to measure
the hardness of all sorts of materials without any reference
specimen and without any laborious settings: from steel and
nonferrous metals through plastics, carbide metals, glass, and
ceramics up to different coatings. The static application of the
test load reduces the vibration of the test object and therefore
the influence of the test material’s elastic properties on the test
result.
Yet another benefit: you can use the POT to measure even very thin
test objects(≥0.1mm), such as coils or sheet metal and metal foils,
on which stationary or mobile hardness testers have previously
failed, without any problem. Consequently, hardness testing becomes
independent not only of the material but also of the mass and
geometry of the test object. This means that the POT opens up new
application fields for mobile hardness testing.
POT can measuring any quality material ( only thickness ≥0.1mm).
POT Extensive fields of application:
POT‘s standards in mobile hardness testing: tests are not only
independent of the test position and direction of testing but in
this case also of the test object’s material and mass or geometry.
Hereby the POT opens up a large variety of new application fields
which were previously not open to portable hardness testers. Some
application examples of possible application areas for the POT
hardness tester are as follows:
• Heat treat shops – easy and fast determination of surface
hardness, no calibration required
• Aviation – on-site hardness testing on thin-walled components and
on different alloys without any additional
calibration
• Manufacturers of coils – at last reliable mobile hardness testing
on sheet metal
• Testing companies – on-site measurement by means of a universal,
portable unit
• Research institutes, labs, and training companies – ”view through
the diamond”:observation of the indentation process, and
measurement control
