12 Reasons Heat Treating Facilities Use the Universal Hardness Testing System

With its extensive feature set, the Infinita universal hardness tester provides a comprehensive solution for hardness testing. Here are the 12 most important benefits of the Infinita universal hardness tester:

  • Consolidated test approaches in a single instrument: The universal hardness tester combines numerous test methodologies into a single instrument, giving versatility, user-friendliness, and cost and space savings.
  • ASTM and ISO standard-compliant equipment: The Infinita hardness tester complies with ISO and ASTM standards, ensuring reliable and standardized hardness testing.
  • A closed-loop system for hardness testing: The Infinita tester, unlike traditional dead-weight hardness testers, uses closed-loop technology, which prevents erroneous results and assures precise and constant test forces.
  • Basic mechanical design: The Infinita tester’s streamlined mechanical design makes it easier to calibrate, maintain, and operate. It provides a diverse range of test forces to meet a variety of testing requirements.
  • A universal hardness tester with a camera: The built-in camera allows operators to locate and examine inner impressions on samples more, decreasing operator fatigue and enhancing accuracy.
  • Including touch-screen technology: The touch-screen interface improves the user experience by making the hardness tester’s operation more intuitive and efficient. It also enables the creation of aesthetically beautiful and configurable interfaces.
  • An ergonomics testing tool: The universal hardness tester’s ergonomic design fosters a comfortable working environment by encouraging appropriate posture and eliminating physical discomfort for greater productivity.
  • Replicable results: The Infinita tester has software-controlled focus, shade correction, a regulated light source, and picture-cleaning capabilities to assure repeatable results. For precise and consistent results, proper sample preparation and testing conditions are also required.
  • Aside from Vickers, Brinell, and Rockwell tests, the Infinita tester can also perform heat treatment, nitriding, hardening, cementation, hardfacing, and knoop tests on a variety of materials.
  • Computer-based testing method: To properly detect hardness values across a wide range of materials, the PC-based testing system employs high-resolution cameras and modern image-processing technologies.
  • Unwavering test accuracy: With a small minimum measurement unit, little force inaccuracy, and a high overall magnification level, the Infinita tester provides high levels of accuracy. Data storage, live graphs, and statistical analysis are also available.
  • Generous test area: The Infinita universal hardness tester has a large test surface with enough vertical and horizontal room for testing samples of all sizes and shapes.

In addition to these features, Infinita offers NIST traceable consumables, extended warranty options, training videos, and lifelong product and service support, delivering a comprehensive hardness testing solution with a user-friendly experience.
