Designed for Future Automation

MMV-SA Advanced is intended for laboratories that need PLC-controlled semi-automatic testing today but expect throughput and automation requirements to grow.

In its present configuration, the motorized auto turret, touchscreen HMI and computerized measurement workflow reduce routine handling and make repeated testing easier to standardize across operators.

Its upgradeable architecture also provides a planned route toward automatic operation. Options are added only when required, helping an expanding laboratory retain its initial platform rather than replacing it as workload develops.

Typical Applications

Industrial Laboratories

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

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.

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.

Aerospace

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.
