Innovative closed-loop technology. The tester incorporates the latest load cell technology. The test load is applied via a closed-loop control unit with a load cell, a DC motor and an electronic measurement and control unit. The result is highly accurate Brinell hardness measurements at all test loads up to 0.5%. The common load overshoot or undershoot as known from traditional dead weight, or open-loop, systems is eliminated. The absence of mechanical weights not only eliminates friction problems but also makes the equipment less sensitive to misalignments caused by vibrations.
Fully automatic test cycles. The Brinell hardness Tester features a fully automatic test cycle, load application, dwell, unloading, is performed fully automatically. This greatly improves reproducibility of test results since operator influence is eliminated.
