The Rockwell 2000 Automated Hardness Tester combines the accuracy and simplistic operation of the Rockwell 2000 with the accuracy and efficiency of Diamet Software. With this automated system, testing sequences are easily programmed into Diamet and all indentations are seamlessly carried out, allowing the operator freedom to perform other tasks. A generous 180 mm x 160 mm motorized XY-Stage moves the samples into indentation position with an accuracy of 5 µm or better.
The Rockwell 2000 Automated Hardness Tester is ideal for applications involving castings and forgings, flat and cylindrical work pieces, quality control testing, cemented carbide, ceramics, stainless and regular steels, and non-ferrous metals. This Hardness Tester is especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as laboratories and workshops.
Tests are performed per ASTME18 for Rockwell Hardness Testing Method. Also available as optional accessories for the Rockwell 2000 Automated Hardness Tester is a macro view camera for enhanced sample viewing, as well as our unique jominy fixtures and more.
