Why Laboratories Upgrade to MMV-A

MMV-A brings positioning, indentation measurement and reporting into one computer-assisted workflow for laboratories running repeated tests, traverses or hardness maps.

Compared with a conventional manual tester, the operator spends less time moving the stage, switching positions and transferring results. The practical gain is a more consistent test sequence with clearer records and better use of laboratory time.

Less operator-dependent testing

Motorized turret and XY positioning reduce the number of manual actions required during repeated test patterns.

Consistent programmed positioning

The motorized stage places indentations according to the selected traverse, mapping or batch-testing routine.

Computer-assisted measurement

Camera connectivity and DeXel-Hard support image-based indentation measurement, calculation and data handling.

Faster reporting and traceability

Measurement records, indentation images and reports remain connected within the computerized workflow.

Repeatable laboratory methods

Programmed routines help different operators follow the same positioning and measurement sequence.

Higher routine productivity

Automatic positioning, measurement support and reporting reduce handling across recurring test programs.

Why Choose This Model

Built for programmed test patterns

Motorized XY positioning places indents for repeatable case-depth traverses, hardness maps and defined patterns.

Improves repeatability in batch work

Automatic stage movement and computerized indentation measurement reduce operator-dependent steps across repeated samples.

Supports production reporting

DeXel-Hard keeps measured indentations, images, results and reports together for clearer traceability.

Typical Applications

Case Depth

Manual indent placement along a prepared cross-section records the case-depth hardness profile.

Hardness Mapping

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.

Batch Testing

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.

Heat Treatment

Helps assess hardness response after heat treatment on correctly prepared and supported specimens.

Automotive

Suited to routine hardness checks on prepared production components and sectioned parts.

Gear Industry

Suited to routine hardness checks on prepared production components and sectioned parts.

Powder Metallurgy

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.

Aerospace

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.
