How does Duramin 160 support your Hardness Testing
Ultimate Accuracy by High-Precision Load Cell Technology
Duramin-160 delivers even higher precision than required by standards. This Rockwell hardness testing machine is based on a load cell system, where test loads are applied via a closed loop control unit with a load cell, a DC motor, and electronic measurement. This way, you will never experience the over- and under-shoot that is common in deadweight systems, ensuring maximum repeatability and reproducibility.
Fully Automated Test Cycle Takes Reproducibility to a Maximum
The entire test cycle of applying load and evaluating hardness is fully automated. This improves reproducibility to a maximum, as operator influence is minimized, and it saves you time.
Create Immediate Reports with Intuitive Touchscreen for All User Levels
Duramin-160 displays data on the touchscreen from which you can easily generate complete reports with results, statistics, and customized comments. Export your data in various formats via a network or USB stick. All generated data is always accessible for review.

Create Immediate Reports with Intuitive Touchscreen for All User Levels

All the functions you need are available in the main display window – main menu, test settings, test results, additional results, visual of the process, functions, and dashboard control. The interface is so easy to use that all levels of users can operate it.
6.5-inch touchscreen offers an intuitive interface for every user level

Customize the exact reports that fit your needs. You can easily generate reports on screen, convert them to PDFs, and save them on your USB stick.
Built-in report manager generates complete data reports to easily export

You can control the privileges of the users to ensure that the same settings are used for every measurement. The main profile ensures that only one super user controls the main settings.
Create different user profiles to restrict or allow different privileges

You will immediately know if your results are approved or not. If your hardness value is outside of the specified limits, it is displayed with the color red. If the hardness value is within the range of specified limits, it is displayed with the color green.
Color-coded hardness limits for easy recognition of values within or outside your specified limits

The advanced closed loop cell system ensures constant feedback and constant control of the load application to ensure the highest precision and repeatability.
High-precision load cell delivers even higher precision than required by standards

You have access to a wide range of sample holders and anvils, to ensure that your testing needs are always met. And if you need a custom-made sample holder, we will build it for you.
Versatile Rockwell hardness testing accessories such as sample holders and anvils for workpieces in all shapes

The Z-axis is of particular assistance if you perform many tests and want to relieve yourself or your co-worker from the repeating manual movement to position the hardness tester’s spindle. This also frees your hand for controlling the sample while positioning it.
Ergonomic, motorized Z-axis frees you from manual adjustment. Your state of health will thank you

You are provided with a much better view of the test area by the test area illumination. This is a particular advantage when you do several tests on the same sample and want to make sure that you work with the correct gap between tests.
Test area illumination provides a clear view of the sample

Duramin-160 will provide you with a Vickers or Brinell result, using depth measurement methods. A great advantage for you who occasionally use Vickers or Brinell as a testing method, but don’t need the degree of precision and don’t want to spend as much time as you would on a comprehensive Vickers or Brinell test. This is an optimal option for you who provide estimates on hardness in a production line.
Option to measure HVT and HBT for you who want the freedom to use other methods
