Automatic Durometer and Hardness tester for O-Rings and Rubber / Elastomer Samples – Laser Revolution- Drive

Automatic Durometer and Hardness tester for O-Rings and Rubber / Elastomer Samples – Laser Revolution- Drive this hardness tester is designed with advanced features, including a laser centering device, rotating sample holder, and dedicated software for automatic serial measurement of O-rings, technical components, and standardized samples.

State of art technology for hardness testing

This automatic hardness tester provides a highly advanced solution for precisely measuring the hardness of small components and standard samples. To conduct a test, simply:

Enter the identification details of the pieces to be measured.
Position the items on the specimen holder disc.

The specimen holder disc begins rotating, allowing the laser centering device to locate the optimal testing point, and the hardness tester performs measurements at the targeted positions. This positioning and measurement process continues automatically, without requiring any operator input, for all items along the measurement line.

The test results are compared against predefined tolerance limits and are saved automatically in the database for easy access and analysis.

Serial hardness testing of standard samples

This instrument allows for multi-point hardness testing on each sample positioned along the test line of the sample holder. The laser system automatically detects the sample's position, ensuring precise and efficient measurement. Users can also set the desired number of tests to be conducted on each sample.

Usable Units

Compatible with all Shore and IRHD hardness units

Applications

Product approval and quality control testing
Process capability analysis

Multiple Test on the sample

International standards require hardness measurements to be conducted at multiple points on each specimen. The software for this instrument allows you to customize the testing process by setting the desired number of tests per sample, specifying the distance from the edge for the first measurement, and defining the spacing between subsequent measurements. This ensures compliance with global standards and enhances measurement accuracy.

Traceability of the results

Simply organize your To-Do List to establish the sequence of products to be tested, and let the instrument take over. The laser precisely locates each sample, carries out the specified number of tests, verifies conformity with preset limits, stores the results, and generates labels or reports as needed. Additionally, it compiles statistics for efficient analysis and reporting, streamlining the entire testing process.

Serial hardness testing of O-Ring and technical articles

With its highly accurate laser and positioning system, this instrument is designed for automatic serial hardness measurement of O-rings and small components ranging from 1 to 12 mm. The laser centering system eliminates human influence in sample positioning, ensuring consistent, reliable results.

Serial Hardness Testing Applications for O-Rings and Technical Components

Usable Units

IRHD-M and Shore-M

Applications

Testing of small parts that are challenging to center manually
Statistical quality control of finished components
Mold approval testing

Tests on non-symmetric pieces

The software enables you to scan each piece and define precise measuring points for each product. These settings can then be saved for future testing, allowing for consistent and accurate measurements every time.

Ruby indentor

This advanced Micro IRHD durometer is equipped with a ruby ball indenter, ensuring exceptional durability and performance through:

Perfect sphericity for accurate indentation
An impeccable surface finish
Minimal wear of the ball over time, maintaining consistent accuracy

Accredia Calibration of the instrument

The instrument can be delivered with an ACCREDIA Calibration Certificate, issued by the Accredia-certified laboratory. Calibration is performed in line with the Accredia-approved Technical Procedure and meets ISO 48-2 (IRHD), ISO 48-4 (Shore A), and ISO 868 (Shore D) standards.

Calibration Includes:

Dimensions of the indenter and annular foot
Applied forces of the indenter and annular foot
Indenter displacement
Test duration

Many instruments in one

The robust quick coupling system enables the measuring head to be swapped out in seconds, maintaining perfect perpendicular alignment with the support base.

Steps for Replacing the Measuring Head:

Disconnect the connecting cable.
Unscrew the locking screw.
Insert the desired head.
Tighten the locking screw.
Reconnect the cable.

The instrument automatically detects the new head, making it ready for immediate testing.

Your testing needs

Do you need to test various products according to specific hardness scales? Are you looking to evaluate incoming materials and finished parts across multiple scales? Do you require the flexibility to switch between different hardness scales on the fly?

Whatever your requirements, we provide the perfect setup to accommodate your needs, ensuring precise and adaptable hardness testing for all your applications.

Versatility in one instrument

The Universal Support for Automatic Hardness Testers in the Drive version is designed to accommodate all available Shore, IRHD, and VLRH hardness units. This system allows for easy swapping of measuring heads, making it an ideal solution for research centers that require measurements across various scales. It also benefits companies that primarily use one scale but occasionally need to verify measurements against others, ensuring flexibility and precision in testing.

Complete hardness testing for simultaneous use

For companies conducting systematic production checks with various measurement scales, such as Shore A and Micro-IRHD, having dedicated hardness units for each scale is crucial. Based on our experience, the optimal configuration involves installing independent hardness testers connected to the same PC. This setup enables multiple operators to use the instruments simultaneously, ensuring efficient workflows and uninterrupted testing processes.
