Closed-Loop Load Control

MMV-AL is the repeatability-focused automatic model in the range, using load cell technology and force feedback to control the applied test load.

This makes it suitable for research and production laboratories where programmed testing must be combined with disciplined force application, repeatable batch work and dependable measurement records.

Automatic stage movement, computerized measurement and reporting support laboratories working with sensitive materials or recurring procedures where load control and traceability matter.

Typical Applications

Research

Operator control makes the platform useful for method development and comparative material studies.

Production QC

Fits recurring verification work where prepared samples and controlled operator practice are already established.

Case Depth

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

Heat Treatment

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

Aerospace

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

Medical

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

Failure Analysis

Localized hardness results add material evidence to a broader failure investigation.

Powder Metallurgy

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

  • Test Loads: Closed-loop load configuration for high-repeatability Vickers and Knoop work.

  • Objectives: Objective set selected for automatic indentation measurement.

  • Hardness Scale: Vickers and Knoop workflows according to configured indenter setup.

  • Computerized Measurement: Integrated camera connectivity sends the indentation image to DeXel-Hard for measurement, reporting and data management. This functionality is standard on all computerised models.

  • Closed Loop Load Control: Load cell technology with force feedback for controlled loading behaviour.

  • PLC Control: PLC-controlled automatic machine operation and test sequencing.

  • Motorized XY Stage: Motorized stage for mapping, traverse testing and programmed positioning.

  • Automatic Reporting: Measurement records, image documentation and reports generated through DeXel-Hard.
