B.O.S.S. Brinell Optical Scanning System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The B.O.S.S.® Brinell Optical Scanning System is an automated system designed to enhance the speed and accuracy of Brinell hardness testing. It improves quality control by storing each measurement in a statistical program.
Key Features:
  • Minimize Errors: The system provides quick and easy measurements by simply positioning the scan head over the impression and pressing a button, instantly displaying diameter and Brinell hardness.
  • Increased Accuracy: Offers 0.01 mm resolution on most surfaces, reducing operator influence and fatigue.
  • Data Collection: Each test is saved with a timestamp, and statistical reports such as X-bar, R-charts, and histograms can be generated.
  • Modular Architecture: Compatible with desktops, laptops, and tablets, and can be integrated into automated systems.
  • Intuitive Software: Facilitates easy navigation for setting measurement conditions, tolerance, and scale conversion.
System Components:
  • Scan Head: Precision optical scan head connected via USB to a PC with B.O.S.S. software.
  • Software Modules: Includes advanced statistical, image save, and inch/millimeter scale software.
  • Options and Accessories: Various cables, scan head holders, and tethers are available.
Product Variants:
  • Lab B.O.S.S. Systems: Desktop-based systems with different scan head options.
  • Lap B.O.S.S. Systems: Laptop-based systems with USB-style scan heads.
  • Tablet B.O.S.S. Systems: Tablet-based systems with USB-style scan heads.
  • USB B.O.S.S. System Only: Requires a customer-supplied compatible PC.
Additional Features:
  • Manual Measurement: Allows measurement of other visually discernible aspects.
  • Image Save Function: Saves images as .bmp files for viewing, printing, or reporting.
  • Pin Brinell Option: Automatically calculates BHN number based on pin type.
  • Tolerance Settings: Configurable to provide warnings and indications for test results.
Compliance: All systems conform to relevant EU standards and are CE marked.

Minimize Errors Measurements are Quick and Easy Locate the scan head over the impression and press the button. Diameter and Brinell hardness are displayed instantly. Reduce Operator Influence on Results It is well known that measuring Brinell impressions can result in measurement errors of 0.1 mm between operators–the range is even greater between labs. This error can take up your entire tolerance specification. The B.O.S.S. will virtually eliminate operator influence on test results. Gage R&R evaluations show dramatically improved repeatability. With the B.O.S.S. your test results won't change...
