Automatic indentation detection program
VLPAK2000
Individual differences in hardness measurement are reduced.
Only 0.3 seconds for detecting... dramatically improving the work efficiency.

For hardness measurement, the diagonal length of an

indentation must be measured on the TV monitor, and
individual differences in measurement and labor saving are
major issues.
The automatic program VLPAK2000 automatically detects
the diagonal length of an indentation and converts the
result to a hardness value, reducing measurement errors
due to individual differences. In addition, it can detect
hardness at high speed in only 0.3 seconds, dramatically
improving the work efficiency of hardness testing.
It is easy to use with your hardness testing machine

• It can perform all the test processes required in the microhardness test, Vickers hardness test, and Knoop hardness
test such as the load, turret switch, focus, indentation dimension detecting, and measurement position movement
in full automatic, so it is optimal for labor saving requirements of your test environment.
• The indentation dimension automatic detecting time of 0.3 seconds is achieved (when a PC with recommended
specifications is used), which dramatically improves operation efficiency.
• Detecting reproducibility of ±0.5% is achieved (For objective lens 50X, diagonal line 11 to 45mm, and 500HV),
which provides reliable and stable test results.
• All operations from test condition setting to test result analysis can be performed on a Windows PC. In addition,
data processing for the test results can be performed by using spreadsheet software Excel 2000.

Introduction of microhardness testing machines and
labor saving automatic machines

Microhardness testing machines : HM Series

There is increasing need for labor saving, unattended, high-
speed, and high-precision hardness measurement.
We introduce automatic machines that can meet any needs.
If you have problems such as “elimination of individual
differences in measurement” or ”shortening of measurement
time“, contact Mitutoyo for details.

Various types of specimen tables are provided for your specimens (shape, dimensions, application). Use the following
for measurement of samples such as thin items.

Specimen fixture

Adjustable specimen table (Thickness
of 30mm or less)
It makes the sample surface and center of the
indenter axis diagonal when parallelism of the
810-013 sample is poor.
It cannot be used for the automatic hardness testing systems.
Sheet installation table
It prevents variations of hardness due to flexure
and wrinkle upon measurement of sheet of 810-018
0.5mm or less. (Example: Metal sheets, etc.) Rotation table (Minimum graduation 1°)
The specimen fixed on the table can be measured
810-015 by rotating it.
Thin item installation table
(vertical type) 810-017
It fixes the specimen upon measurement of a thin item of 0.4 to Special type vise
3mm or less (end face). (Example: Wire, copper line, etc.) (Open width: 100mm)
It can fix specimens of up to 100mm.
810-014
Thin item installation table 810-012
(horizontal type) Fine adjustment table
It fixes the specimen upon measurement of a thin (X·Y 50mm Stroke)
item of 0.4 to 3mm or less (side face). (Example: It can move the sample up to 50mm in the X- and Y-directions.

in the data bank.

Automatic multi-point measurement setting

Association of measurement patterns and test conditions can be performed for each
measurement pattern or for each measurement point. You can also call measurement
patterns in the data bank.

Display screen for easy operation

All operations such as measurement position adjustment and focusing required during
a test can be performed on a PC. During a test, the graph of indentation depth vs. test
force is displayed in real time so that you can grasp the test state at a glance.

Data analysis function 1

Test results are saved in text format files that can be called from spreadsheet software
Excel. A macro that can call test results from Excel is available.

Data analysis function 2

Statistical calculation and graph display can be easily performed for the test results loaded
to Excel. You can make the test results visual by using the graph overlay function.

Measurement principle
The test force load mechanism applies an electromagnetic test force to the measurement sample via the non-friction balance lever and indenter.
The point of contact of the indenter and specimen is regarded as the zero test force of the test force load, and a force is applied up to the
specified test force. In the process in which the indenter is pressed

High temperature Vickers hardness testing system
AVK-HF
It measures Vickers hardness from room temperature to high temperature.
It is suitable for analysis of mechanical characteristics of new materials such as heat resistant materials and ceramics.

• High-temperature furnace: The high-temperature furnace is an airtight cabin that has a

rotation mechanism with the indenter axis unit and sample observation, sample heating unit,
and movement mechanism for the sample heating unit.
• Heating atmosphere: After a vacuum is produced in the high-temperature furnace, heating
and hardness measurement of the sample are performed in an inert gas atmosphere.
• Load method: The indenter axis unit of the high-temperature furnace is an indenter guiding
mechanism that moves up and down the indenter in the furnace while air tightness is
maintained. The mechanism enables the test force to be applied to the sample in the furnace
from the outside. Application of the test force from the outside and control of the test force
are performed by using the Vickers hardness testing machine.
• Conversion between test force load and sample observation: Unload operation is performed
by adjusting the test force mechanism attached to the upper turntable of the high-temperature
furnace to the sample position, and then the observation window is rotated to the sample
position to perform measurement of the impression and observation of the sample.
• It can be used as an elongated Vickers hardness testing machine when the high-temperature
furnace is removed.

• Setting of various parameters such as upper and lower limit values of hardness required for the OK/NG judgment function can be
performed easily by using the new scroll selector.
• Hardness values are displayed on the large digital display, which significantly reduces incorrect operation due to misunderstanding.
• The loading navigator that indicates the preliminary test force and test force load states with blinking lamps is provided as standard
for increased operability.
Rockwell hardness
testing machine • The measured hardness value is kept on the display by the display value hold function until measurement is performed again. This
reduces wasteful re-measurement operation due to not detecting the value.

The CTS Series can be combined with the HH-300 Series for 1) hardness measurement and
2) spring force testing of the HH-300 Series hardness tester main unit. 3) By connecting
the attached weight directly to the hardness tester to perform hardness measurement,
stable results with less individual differences can be obtained compared to hardness
measurement by directly pressing the hardness tester with your hand. This measurement
method with weight directly connected to the hardness tester is useful for the hardness
measurement of large samples for which the stand cannot be used as well as hardness
measurement in the field. The CTS Series includes 4 models for different hardness tester
types. All the 4 model types can be used for the functions 1, 2, and 3 above with one
stand by adding a separately sold accessory.
