Automatic cell tests steel specimens for hardness
An automatic hardness testing machine, to work in an unmanned materials test cell, will be fed with flat steel tensile specimens for hardness testing.
Indentec has designed and built a fully automatic hardness testing machine to work automatically in an unmanned materials test cell.
Based on the Stourbridge Company's 8150 SK Rockwell model, the tester will be integrated into a cell being constructed by Zwick for Avesta Sheffield.
The microprocessor controlled machine will incorporate a software driven transfer mechanism designed to pick and place flat steel tensile specimens for hardness testing.
When the specimen is located on the test anvil, three Rockwell tests will be made automatically in sequence on a one minute cycle, the specimen being repositioned after each test.
On completion of the cycle, the transfer mechanism will automatically return the specimen to the robot, the test data being fed to the host computer for processing and conversion to other hardness scales.
Indentec has supplied many automatic machines of this type for test cells in recent years.
