How does DuraVista 40 support your Hardness Testing
Unique functionalities for superior results
Use the overview camera for fast positioning of the pre-programmed patterns and let the DuraVista do all indent and measurement work unattended. Higher and more reliable throughput without the need to hire more lab staff.Built for your Business
Both hard- and software were designed to comply with ISO and ASTM standards fully from the load mechanics, the optical system, and the high-resolution camera to the advanced software algorithms. The Z-axis is controlled with a precision ball screw spindle for a fast and precise movement for focus and positioning. Unique in its class.The future is automated
Today, automation is widely accepted as THE solution for consistency and quality. DuraVista-40 with a closed-loop cell improves for process accuracy and limits the risk of human influence. Manage all machine control and workflow processes effortlessly using the 27” industrial capacitive touchscreen. Start multiple jobs at once and focus on other duties while the DuraVista-40 handles all the indent-measure work for you.

The future is automated
The unique, configurable test load range from 0.1 gf to 62,5 kg (0.00981 N to 612.9 N) can cover many applications that usually require both a micro- and a macro-indentation hardness tester. It also unveils new areas of interest with its sub-micro loads. It covers many Brinell, Vickers, and Knoop test methods and can automatically convert hardness values according to current standards.
Flexible load range
The DuraVista-40 is equipped with a motorized Z-axis for effortless height adjustment. With its advanced auto-focus capability, you can experience fast and reliable measurements — perfect precision every time.
Motorized Z-axis
Introducing the Struers DirectConnect motorized stage, with built-in encoders for high repeatability. Available in three sizes to fit your needs, it offers fast, accurate navigation over multiple samples and allows you to get more done. The cable-less design enhances durability and streamlines your setup.
DirectConnect stage
Enhance your sample orientation with our advanced grid functionality. Use the "Follow XY stage" feature to maintain a fixed grid aligned with absolute coordinates. Set indent distances, adjust point offsets in custom patterns, or align sample edges with ease. Perfect for precise measurements.
Grid overlay
The hardness tester automatically stops operating in the event of a collision or any unexpected vibration or movements. This prevents indenters and lenses from being damaged and provides optimal operator safety.
Anti-collision protection
Several software modules are available to match particular applications. These include modules covering case hardness depth measurement (CHD), weld measurement, surface mapping, edge detection, and Kc fracture toughness calculation.
Application-specific software modules
The optional overview camera makes it easy to position the test point series across a sample and execute it with a few mouse clicks. This feature ensures simplified execution and setup and is helpful when performing repetitive or high-volume measurements or weld testing.
Overview camera
Enjoy higher resolution for finer features, perfect for technical papers and reports. Enhanced digital zoom means fewer objectives needed, saving you money. Combined with the DuraSoft-Met module, the DuraVista-40 doubles as a low magnification microscope for precise measurements on etched samples.
18 Megapixel Camera
For measuring substrate hardness, layer thickness, grain size, or phases in limited lab space or needing fast evaluations in production, the DuraSoft-Met module is your solution. Save valuable time with its improved workflow, combining hardness testing and metallography analyses in one machine. With the DuraSoft-Met module, the DuraVista-40 doubles as a low magnification microscope for precise measurements on etched samples.
