FOR THE TOUGHEST REQUIREMENTS
STURDY AND PRECISE HARDNESS TESTING FOR PRODUCTION
The DuraVision G5-series
The DuraVision G5 hardness testers cover a unique wide standard load range of 0.3–250 kgf and 3–3000 kgf. The electronically controlled test cycle provides for a large selection of test methods. The Brinell, Vickers, and Rockwell test methods can be measured in compliance with EN ISO and ASTM standards, and carbon testing is also possible. Knoop and plastic tests can also be conducted with the lower standard load range models. Thanks to its sturdy construction, in combination with the simple and swift operation plus precise and repeatable measurement results, the DuraVision G5 hardness tester is also particularly suitable for use in harsh, demanding production environments.

Product features and options

Star-shaped turret – seven at a stroke
The star turret included in the normal scope of every machine can be expanded from the standard two positions to up to seven positions — at any time and with little effort. The star-shaped design allows not only a slim construction of the turret, but also provides seven positions for fitting any combination of indenters and lenses. A wide spectrum of test methods can thus be covered with a single machine, and frequent tool changing is not necessary. In combination with the new high-resolution camera, this reduces investment costs and set-up time. In addition, the turret rotates at a very high speed and automatically finds the shortest turning direction to the selected position.
A broad spectrum of applications
The DuraVision G5 Series offers a uniquely broad standard load range from 0.3 kgf to 3000 kgf. The force is continuously and precisely applied by means of a large number of electronic force measuring sensors. Intelligent utilization of the 12-megapixel camera enables a 4x zoom, enabling the entire application range to be covered with just a few lenses. The combination with 7 turret positions also saves tool changing. Automatic evaluation of the test indents by fully automated brightness control and fast autofocus in combination with the star turret shortens the cycle times as far as technically possible and minimises the operator influence.

Intuitive software with calibration assistant
The ecos Workflow with Calibration Information System (CIS) software package from EMCO-TEST provides an efficient, intelligent solution for all conventional hardness testing tasks. The user is guided step-by-step through the measuring process all the way to data backup. The intuitive user interface shortens the familiarisation time and reduces operating errors. A special feature of ecos Workflow CIS is the integrated calibration assistant that monitors all calibrated methods and greatly simplifies the inspection of the hardness tester required by standards.
Easy testing of complex specimens
The large test area, the long reach despite the very compact overall design and the slim nose cone offer great flexibility for a very wide range of specimens. The variety of specimens that can be tested is further expanded by the possibility of testing both clamped and unclamped – You have the choice. In addition, the clamping force can be individually set. Complex specimens can be reliably clamped, while marks on soft materials can be avoided by selecting a correspondingly lower clamping force. All in all, ideal preconditions for every application in production.

Lens with Brinell SmartLight
The Brinell hardness test has always represented a challenge with soft metals and difficult surfaces. Particularly with soft materials, the edges are not always perfectly recognisable due to considerable deformation (bulging) around the indentation. The new lenses with the innovative Brinell SmartLight now ensure ideal lighting and allow better recognisability of the test indentation during Brinell tests. The lenses with Brinell SmartLight are available as 2.5x and 5x lenses.
