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...

Type D Test Head * The Type D test head includes an integral BRINtronic automatic Brinell microscope and offers reliable and repeatable operator independent optical indentation measurement of the indentation. In the Type D, the optical components and indenter are housed in a heavy duty steel fabrication to give excellent protection, the top plate and side plates of the fabrication are 25mm thick are given further robustness by webs on each side. The base plate of the fabrication is 30mm thick. A hardened clamp face is fitted to the base of the fabrication base plate. When not in use, the...

Brinell Test Heads All test heads in the Foundrax range are very well proven and are designed specifically for harsh environments such as those found in foundries, forges, steelworks and Heat Treatment Plants. Both the Type B and Type D offer encoded servo motor and load cell control to ensure complete accuracy of both test force application and test force control during the test. These test heads are in service all over the world, are well proven and have a solid track record for reliability in the harshest industrial environments. Many closed loop Brinell hardness testers on the market...

Bridge Type Brinell hardness tester Featuring either our Type B or Type D closed loop servo motor driven test heads or a simple manual test head, this range offers a wide range of options including: • Bespoke bed size. • Fixed or moving bridge options. • Possibility to integrate our bridge modules into your framework - create your own bespoke machine. • Manual or powered movement of bridge and column. • Optional surface preparation. • Integral BRINtronic automatic Brinell microscope. The machines consist of a Brinell Test Head for applying the test forces of up to 29 420N (3000kgf)...

Benefits of the X-BHD Range Built to withstand heavy loads, this range has the ability to perform tests to the high levels of accuracy required in today’s industry. This range is available in various sizes, from small static bridge machines (either floor mounted or integrated into a rail system) to fully automatic machines with powered X, Y and Z movement giving an extremely robust machine suitable for use with very large components. The X-BHD range features include a closed loop automatic multi-force Brinell test head (Type B) with optional integral BRINtronic automatic Brinell microscope...

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 y parameters. Surface preparation evaluation & warning (if required). Ovality-detection according to user-defined y parameters. Displays test results in HBW and mm instantly. Provides results to 2 decimal places (HBW) and 4 decimal places (mm) as well as batch mean, standard deviation etc. Batch summary reports (batch...

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, the software easily and reliably finds the edge even on rough surfaces. The system fully conforms to...

X-BHD - Bridge Type Brinell hardness testers suitable for use with very large components such as those found in the oil Industry The Foundrax X-BHD may be networked to allow automatic downloading of batch parameters. The range consists of heavy duty machines specifically designed to handle the forces generated in Brinell hardness testing. Automatically uploads and saves test results and batch statistics as required. Foundrax Hardness Testers can be used on a wide range of surfaces from hand prepared through to mirror finish reference blocks. But don’t take our word for it... “This machine...

Accessories include integral milling surface preparation Foundrax can offer surface preparation by milling to an adjustable depth of 15mm (unless agreed otherwise) using a milling head custom designed by Foundrax to give long life reliability in a steelworks environment. We can also consider other requirements including handling equipment such as an integrated walking beam indexing conveyor suitable for the loading and unloading of your components from the X-BHD. Where milling is included the machines feature separate mechanical systems to mill the surface, to clamp the component and to...

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...
