Faster, more reliable Brinell hardness testing – Production Brinell hardness testing machines – BRINscan and BRIN400 range RUGGED PRECISION Laboratory accuracy under steelworks condition

Welcome to Foundrax Foundrax offer the highest hardness measurement performance within the industry, built to thrive in the toughest of industrial production environments. As Brinell test innovators and specialists, we have listened and partnered with our customers to deliver their requirements for over 65 years. The Foundrax Brinell hardness testing range extends from the smallest Brinell accessories to very large custom designed machines incorporating the latest automatic optical Brinell measurement technology – the Foundrax BRINtronic system. For many years we have worked with both...

The BRINscan range The MkIII fully hydraulic single force machine is suitable for high intensity single force production lines in use 24 hours a day, seven days per week and proven over 35 million tests. The MkV features either the Type B or Type D closed loop test head and offers similar heavy duty rugged reliability but with the option of multiple test forces available. Both machines feature guided overhead hydraulic actuation to ensure the test forces are translated vertically up through the frame of the machine and – unlike most other machines which feature a moving test head and fixed...

• In-line testing. • Fully automatic testing without operator intervention. • High-throughput testing. Designed and engineered to perform reliably in the most arduous of environments, the BRINscan series are well suited to in-line testing of components. Featuring either our Type B or Type D (as standard) closed loop servo motor driven test heads or single force hydraulic test head proven over more than 30 million cycles. Integral BRINtronic automatic Brinell microscope for instant, reliable and repeatable results Designed and engineered to perform reliably in the most arduous of...

Fully automatic system gives total operator independence. Ultra rugged, designed for manufacturing production environments. Automation enables high-throughput testing. Easy to integrate into an automatic line. Foundrax are the most experienced company in automatic Brinell hardness testing in the world. Dwell time: 1 - 30 seconds Electrical supply: • 400V AC 50Hz 3 phase + Neutral + Earth 16A max (or your plant supply by agreement) This BRINscan MkIII has tested every single track link used by the British army over the last 35 years – with on

BRIN400 range Designed and engineered to perform reliably in arduous environments, the BRIN400 series enhances productivity for in line and off line testing of materials. There are two models in the range – the BRIN400B and the BRIN400D. Both machines are fabricated from 12mm steel plate for rigidity and strength. The BRIN400D features all the above but comes with integral automatic BRINtronic microscope for instant, reliable, repeatable measurement and recording of the results. This ensures that Brinell hardness testing can be achieved reliably, accurately and quickly with no operator...

The BRINtronic system On the shop floor or in the laboratory, the measurement of the indentation is the key to reliable results. Over 30 years of experience of automatic measurement has created an algorithm that makes hundreds of accurate indentation diameter measurements every time on surfaces with only minimal preparation. Quicker surface preparation means lower cost and higher productivity. The BRINtronic system features a simple, intuitive, icon driven interface and is quick to move between test screens, batches and alternative test parameters. It will automatically evaluate the quality...

The BRINtronic demonstrably finds the indentation more effectively and the edge more reliably than any other automatic Brinell microscope. It recognises and ignores noise from grinding marks across all normal industrial test surfaces, you don’t need to worry about alignment of the grinding marks for reliable results. It can measure on all normal surfaces so you can use normal reference blocks (no need for special ones) and it requires only about 3-5 seconds of surface preparation with a hand grinder. Comprehensive software traps protect you from false results which means that the BRINtronic...

No adjustment so no risk of error and no frequent reverification The BRINtronic does not require the operator to make any adjustments to the type of illumination (for example switching between ring light illumination and overhead lighting) and therefore there is no risk of incorrect measurements as a result of operator setup error causing the system to find the edge incorrectly. There is also no need for the operator to adjust any digital cursor or to subjectively decide where the edge is, as the software easily and reliably finds the edge even on rough surfaces. The system fully conforms...

The BRINtronic will do all this without the need to adjust the illumination or change any lens. The software features numerous traps and self-checks in order to ensure that the measurements it uses to define the indentation are validated in a number of independent ways. The principle behind the design is that the system gives you the right answer or no answer and that in the event of doubt the answer is either withheld or the operator is clearly warned (for example if the measurement is attempted on an unprepared surface) and even then the result should only vary by one or two points from...

Very low uncertainty of measurement gives high confidence >/ - therefore reliable, accurate, repeatable results. ^ Works as well on rough surfaces as mirror finishes. ^ Completely operator independent results whoever the operator. ^ Quick to move between batches & alternative test parameters. * Surface preparation evaluation & warning (if required). v' Ovality-detection according to user-defined parameters. * Displays test results in HBW and mm instantly.
