Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testing - Clark ARS 9000

The ARS 9000 is a fully automatic testing system capable of programming, indenting, viewing and recording in one convenient location. By configuring the ARS to your specifications, the CM-Series performs Micro indentations from 1-1000gf in either Vickers or Knoop; or both using the optional dual indenter, while the CV-Series performs Macro/Vickers indentations from 0.3-50kgf. For accuracy and productivity, the ARS 9000 is the perfect all-in one system.
Specifications
  • Auto-measure by selecting your programmed pattern (indent, focus, read, record)
  • Various measurement patterns (straight, zigzag, circle, line set, random)
  • Instant HV hardness displayed on chart after measurements on carbonized layer
  • Upper/lower safety switches on Z-axis prevent damage to indenter and objectives
  • Various data outputs available – Measurement data, hardness distribution chart, case depth, max. value, min. value, mean value, dispersion standard deviation, coefficient of variation, OK-NG criteria, conversion data, etc.



Optional dual indenter auto-turret
allowing up to four objectives.
