Ball indentation hardness (H) (ISO 2039-1) (plastics)
6 Position Turret
A special feature of the EW-9000 is the motorised turret which comes as standard on each system. The turret can hold 3 different indenters and 3 objectives up to 40x magnification, or 6 different indenters on a PURE ROCKWELL model
Combine the turret with an optional X-Y stage, a rotary table or inclination table and create the worlds most comprehensive 4 or 5 axis hardness testing system.
Workpiece position is fixed. No hand wheels, no difficult supporting and no spindle to carry heavy parts. No wear and tear caused by heavy work pieces. No work load and no additional drive systems required.
Protection, Safety, Online Systems
EW-9000 intelligent sensor systems will register any irregular or unusual forces being applied to the turret, and will stop the test head from descending. In this way the system cannot cause injuries. No significant force is applied when any of the objectives are in viewing position.
The EW-9000 test head with force actuator, with or without turret, can be used in on-line structures or integrated in to production lines requiring automatic testing procedures. The newly developed optical system allows stunning, high definition indent magnification (0.7x to 1000x). Refined algorithms guarantee accurate automatic measurement.
EW-9000 Firmware
EW-9000 Firmware is the advanced user operating system of the EW-9000 Series. The software incorporates, manual and automatic measurement for all scales, image editing, file storing, image storing, report printing, turret operation, manual or automatic focussing and many other advanced functions.
The firmware converts to 3 different hardness (and tensile) scales simultaneously. The conversions can be set to material and standard (ISO/ASTM).
The system also controls an (optional) X-Y stage, rotary or inclining table that can be plugged into the standard built-in driver of the tester. No additional charges, no external devices.
In combination with an X-Y stage the tester offers the option of running case depth hardness programs, pre defined testing patterns and/or other specific or special tasks defined by the user.
All data can be copied or exported in to MS applications like Word, Excel, or a report generator that emails test results directly to your workstation, or server. All data can be accessed over the LAN or WLAN connections.
Anvils, Test Tables, Special Indenters
Each EW-9000 is supplied with a standard set of test anvils and work tables. Each set includes 1 V-groove anvil, 1 flat anvil 80mm, 1 large round testing table ø200mm.
Additionally, you can opt for a large range of specific anvils such as a spot anvil, set of V-groove anvils, tungsten alloy or diamond surface anvils.
The tester can be equipped with a furnace or cooling unit to test work pieces under high or low temperature. Robot work piece loading and unloading can be supported by the built-in industrial computer.
To support large work pieces or cylinder blocks you can opt for the (350mm x 250mm) large working stage that incorporates T-grooves for solid work piece fixing.
Flexible working heights
The EW-9000 has a standard working height of 300mm. In case you have larger components the EW-9000 is available with different frame heights ranging up to 500mm work piece height and up to 350mm depth.
X-Y Stages, Rotary Tables, Inclination Devices
Being Universal means being ready for any task. The EW-9000 can be equipped with a variety of X-Y stages suitable for different applications. Different test forces require different specifications of the X-Y stages. Size, test load and positioning accuracy can be offered according to your particular requirement.
CNC rotary tables and inclining testing tables are available depending on the complexity of your work pieces.
