Frequently Asked Questions
Have Question? We are here to help
What makes the Mitutoyo HR-530 series unique?
The HR-530 series is highly versatile due to its electronic control, allowing for Rockwell, Rockwell Superficial, Rockwell testing of plastics, and Light Force Brinell hardness testing. It features a nose-type indenter for measuring both flat and internal cylindrical surfaces. It also includes a color touch-panel display for statistical analysis, graphic displays (X̄-R control charts, histograms), and a curved-surface correction function.
Can the HM-200 series perform Knoop hardness tests?
Yes, in addition to Vickers hardness testing, the HM-200 series (specifically HM-200 Series machines with V/K syntax) can perform Knoop hardness tests. These systems will be equipped with both a Vickers and Knoop indenter unit.
Can Mitutoyo testers perform multiple hardness tests?
Yes, some of the more advanced Mitutoyo testers are "twin-type" or "multi-purpose" machines that can perform multiple test methods, such as Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, and even Light Force Brinell, often with a simple scale selection on a touch screen.
What is the primary application for a Micro-Vickers hardness tester?
Micro-Vickers testers, like the HM series, are used for testing small or thin parts, or for evaluating the hardness of specific, small features on a larger part, such as a weld seam or a heat-treated layer. They apply very low test forces, ensuring a small and precise indentation.
How do I choose the right hardness tester for my application?
The choice depends on several factors: the material you're testing, the size and shape of the workpiece, the required accuracy, and the test environment. For example, Rockwell testers are fast and suitable for a wide range of materials, while Vickers testers are highly versatile and great for testing both very soft and hard materials. Micro-Vickers testers are specifically for small parts or thin sections.
