Amazing 3D CAD User Interface
Intuitive, structured and professional. The Qpix Control2 software ushers in a new generation of hardness testing software. It has been developed based on customer input and feedback to guarantee maximum user-friendliness. Extensive use of 3D CAD drawings provide the user with a unique experience that is easy to follow.
Auto-stop vs. Test All Points
Users are in total control of how the micro hardness tester performs its testing.
When using Auto-stop, the tester will indent, then read, then indent, then read, allowing the test to stop once a specific hardness value is reached. Users can also program the number of indents to perform after this limit has been hit.
The other method is to perform all indents first, then optically read all. The choice is yours.
Auto-Snap and Edge Recognition
Auto-Snap is a standard feature for quickly creating test patterns. Simply drag the pattern close to the sample edge and the software will automatically align the traverse.
The optional Edge Recognition module is the perfect add-on if you will be using templates for same parts testing extensively. With the Edge Recognition module you only need to roughly position your saved testing template to the sample edge and the software will automatically align the test points for you.
Hardness Color Maps in 2D/3D
The optional 2D/3D Mapping Module allows you to create beautiful hardness color maps in 2D or 3D for use in presentations.
Users can easily create a contour line for their sample and define the density of the testing grid allowing test patterns of 100s or 1000s of indents depending on how many data points are desired.
Rotatable Indenter
The operator can define a contour path, then during testing the indenter will automatically rotate and remain parallel to the defined contour. Great for testing of different material layers.
Rotatable Indenter
In addition to rotating along a contour, the rotatable indenter is also great for keeping the intenter in a specific position for case depth lines, regardless of where the sample is positioned in the sample holder.
Dynamic Height Adjustment
The joystick provides variable speed control (0.01 up to 20 mm/s) of all 3 axes (X, Y, Z) for quick, accurate and sensitive positioning of the test head and X/Y stage.
Exact Positioning and Large Test Room
Constructed in high-quality anodized aluminium, the spacious test area allows testing of large unmounted or traditional samples. The fully automatic XY stage with high precision optical path measurement system can be equipped with an 8-place sample holder for smaller samples (≤40 mm) or a 4 place holder for 50 mm samples. Customer specific sample holders can be managed and created in the software.
Closed Loop Load Cell
Electronically controlled test forces ensure quick and precise hardness testing as well as rapid test method changeover (maintenance free) and automatic
6 Place Motorized Turret
The 6 place motorized turret is standard in all models and offers space for various test methods. For example it can be equipped with 3 different objectives and the corresponding indenters for Vickers, Knoop or Brinell.
