Micro and Macro IRHD hardness tester

Fields of application DX-13 is ideal for measuring hardness on thermoplastic and vulcanised rubber samples according to the standardised IRHD method, such as O-rings, cables, rubber hoses and medical items. Particularly recommended for samples of small size and thickness, usually less than 6 mm Integrated in the company’s control-production system, is of great help for: Analysis of Process Capacity; Final product and mould approval tests; Quality control tests on standard and non standard samples Fully automatic test cycle The instrument is operated and the hardness value is determined through...

Closed Loop technology with coaxial force management Forces are applied electronically by the load cell with Closed Loop control system frequency of 1000 pulses per second with high sampling rate electronics (20 bits at 1kHz). This technology also allows the entire test cycle to be monitored and assessed to determine certain elastic properties of the tested material, analysing parameters such as force and displacement. Motorised indenter stroke Thanks to the motorised 50 mm stroke, the test cycle is simplified and improved through increased reproducibility Every geometry and value can be measured...

The DX-13 software was developed and put into operation by our own research and development department to ensure maximum attention and precision during IRHD hardness testing activities In developing it, we made sure that it could accommodate all the 8 scales provided for in the main international reference standard (ISO 48-2) for this analysis macro area Method M Testing of very small samples (microtest) Method CM To make the scale change faster and safer, the DX-13 software is self-guided: when selecting the scale to be used on the display, the force settings are automatically adjusted and the...

Connectivity ERP+ MES system The software ensures two-way integration and communication (export and import) between data exchange systems. Complete control over production is therefore ensured thanks to an active communication between hardness tester and: Corporate ERP (any administration or process software) corporate MES (Manufacturing Execution System) used for managing production orders, quality control and process automation The returned reference values are precise and accurate, tailored to your needs. It is indeed possible to: Create personal hierarchical access profiles that store and...
