About Computerized Micro Vickers Hardness Tester (HT-1000 with VIDAS 2.0)
Features
MANUAL EYEPIECE :Equipped with 10x Manual Eyepiece to measure the length of diagonal. The hardness value can be displayed directly on LCD screen by entering the indentation diagonal length.
CAMERA PORT :Machine equipped with dual optical channel. 5 MP USB Camera is connected to one of the dual optical channels, other optical channel is for 10X eyepiece. Both optical channel works simultaneously.
ILLUMINATION SYSTEM :Halogen illumination unit gives very clear images and can be also used as a simple microscope. Halogen illumination unit enter stand by mode after a certain period of inactivity which gives it a long service life and low power consumption.
TEST FORCE :Wide range of test force (10gm to 1000gm) can be selected with external force selection knob. The test force is automatically displayed on the 25X80mm LCD Screen.
TURRET MECHANISM :Equipped with manual turret mechanism. The position of the indentor and objective lens can be switched manually.
Z-AXIS LIFTING SYSTEM :Side-Ways lifting system makes the z-axis movement more stable and accurate.
LCD Screen :80X25mm LCD Screen can visually display the hardness value, conversion hardness, test force and dwell time.
EMERGENCY SWITCH :Equipped with emergency stop switch.

FAQs of Computerized Micro Vickers Hardness Tester (HT-1000 with VIDAS 2.0):
Q: How does the HT-1000 with VIDAS 2.0 perform microhardness testing?
A: The HT-1000 uses a diamond pyramid indenter to apply electronically controlled loads ranging from 5g to 1000g onto the specimen surface. Automated software manages test setup, indentation, imaging, measurement, and result analysis for accurate microhardness evaluation.
Q: What are the primary benefits of computerized operation and VIDAS 2.0 software?
A: Computerized control and VIDAS 2.0 software offer automated focusing, digital imaging, quick data analysis, and easy report generation in multiple formats. This reduces manual errors, speeds up the testing process, and ensures consistent, reliable results with extensive data management options.
Q: When should I calibrate the instrument, and how is calibration performed?
A: You should calibrate the HT-1000 before initial use, after major maintenance, or if measurement accuracy is questioned. Calibration is straightforward using the included standard calibration block and on-screen guidance within the VIDAS 2.0 software.
Q: Where can this hardness tester be used?
A: The HT-1000 is ideal for quality control laboratories and industrial testing environments. Its bench-top mount, compact dimensions, CE certification, and robust design allow use in research facilities, manufacturing plants, and educational institutions.
Q: What is the process for generating and exporting test reports?
A: After testing, results are automatically analyzed and organized by VIDAS 2.0 software. Users can generate detailed reports and export them conveniently in PDF or Excel format via the USB, RS232, or Ethernet interfaces.
Q: How does the adjustable LED illumination and imaging system enhance usability?
A: The adjustable LED illumination provides optimal lighting for precise viewing of indentations, while the high-resolution CCD camera captures clear images. This ensures that measurements remain accurate regardless of sample type or surface reflection.
Q: What specimen sizes and types can be accommodated with the HT-1000?
A: The tester accommodates specimens up to 100 40 mm in size, with a maximum height of 60 mm and a load capacity up to 1000g. Its suitable for metals, ceramics, and composite materials, supporting multiple specimens per test sequence as managed by the software.
