CLC-ARS

FULLY-AUTOMATIC VICKERS / KNOOP HARDNESS TESTING SYSTEM

The ARS System is a fully automatic testing system that allows for programming, indenting, auto-reading, viewing and recording data all from one convenient station. It offers a variety of platforms ranging from standard auto-read measuring and reporting to fully automatic; making reading, conversions and reporting easier than ever before.

  • Instant HV or HK Hardness Chart Display
  • Multi-data Measurements
  • Quick Measurement Indentation for Easy Edits and Image Archives
  • Convenient Data Transfers, Reports and Storage
  • Z-Axis Memory Feature

Special Features

REAL-TIME HARDNESS TEST RESULTS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The CLC-10 and the CLC-50 are designed with an expansive work area for testing large samples. Each utilizes a motorized Z-axis system that can accommodate up to 110mm (CLC-10) or 210mm (CLC-50) sample heights. Models are available with either a manual X-Y stage ((X) 50mm x (Y) 50mm) or an automatic motorized X-Y stage((X) 225mm x (Y)) 180mm, for greater control.
