Special Load Vickers Platform

MMV-SL Micro Cum Macro Vickers Hardness Tester

A customizable special-load platform for laboratories that need both micro and macro Vickers testing, larger sample support and application-specific load ranges.

One Instrument. Micro and Macro Vickers.

MMV-SL is the special-load platform for laboratories that need micro and macro Vickers testing on one configurable machine.

Combining the two load classes can reduce the need for separate testers when a laboratory handles varied materials, section sizes and component types.

Custom load ranges and test-table arrangements allow the system to be reviewed around heat-treatment work, weld sections, castings, forgings and heavier samples. The exact load range and automation level are selected for the application.

Typical Applications

Case Depth

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

Large Castings

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

Forgings

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

Heavy Engineering

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

Railways

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

Defence

Research Laboratories

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

Heat Treatment

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

Key Technical Features

Test Loads: Custom ranges such as 50 gf-10 kg, 100 gf-30 kg or 200 gf-50 kg.
Objectives: Objective configuration selected for micro and macro Vickers indentation review.
Hardness Scale: Micro and Macro Vickers workflows on a single customized platform.
