Description
NG-5/10/30/50CCD FA
Overview
The NG-5/10/30/50CCD FA series is the fully automatic configuration of our NG-5000 Macro Vickers platform. It builds on the capabilities of the CCD SEMI system and adds automated Z-axis focus control for a more hands-off, repeatable workflow. This lineup is designed for laboratories that want maximum throughput and consistency for Macro Vickers hardness testing, while maintaining high measurement confidence through CCD imaging and analytical software.

What Makes the FA Model Different
The FA configuration delivers all of the benefits of the NG-5/10/30/50CCD SEMI and adds automated Z-axis control
to manage focus automatically. That means less operator intervention, improved repeatability across shifts and operators, and a smoother
path to consistent results during multi-point testing, pattern routines, and structured test plans.
How It Works
- Position & secure the specimen: Set up your sample on the stage for testing.
- Automated focusing (Z-axis): The system can automatically control focus to support a more hands-off workflow.
- CCD + software measurement: Use the CCD camera and analysis software for clear indentation imaging and evaluation (eyepiece measurement is also available).
- Motorized XY movement: Execute organized test layouts with repeatable movement between points for cleaner maps and faster routines.
- Document results: Support reporting and documentation workflows for QA/QC and production environments.
Built for High-Throughput QC and Repeatability
The NG-5000 platform is engineered for accuracy and ease of use, with a workflow built for labs that run frequent hardness checks and need
consistent outputs. The FA lineup is a strong fit for production quality environments, process validation programs, and laboratories that
want maximum consistency without the variability of manual focus adjustment.
Data & Documentation
The NG-5000 Series is designed for practical documentation and data handling. Results can be printed for traceability, and the system can
be connected to a computer to support streamlined reporting workflows.
NG-5CCD FA
Overview
The NG-5CCD FA brings the fully automatic FA workflow to the 5 kgf-class Macro Vickers configuration. It combines CCD camera imaging + analytical software, a motorized XY stage, and automated Z-axis focus control to support structured routines with minimal operator intervention—ideal for QC labs that prioritize consistency and throughput.
Standards
Best For
- Routine QC checks with repeatable test maps
- Structured multi-point programs where consistent focus is critical
- Labs that want the benefits of CCD measurement without manual focusing variability
NG-10CCD FA
Overview
The NG-10CCD FA is the fully automatic Macro Vickers solution for the 10 kgf-class configuration. It uses the same FA workflow—CCD optical analysis, motorized XY positioning, and automated Z-axis focus—to support faster, more repeatable test routines with consistent results across operators and shifts.
Standards
Best For
- Production QA programs that need stable, repeatable operation
- Higher-throughput test schedules with structured layouts
- Labs that want automated focus for consistency and speed
NG-30CCD FA
Overview
The NG-30CCD FA extends the fully automatic workflow to the 30 kgf-class Macro Vickers configuration. It is designed for labs that need higher-load capability while maintaining the speed and repeatability benefits of CCD optical analysis, motorized XY movement, and automated Z-axis focus control.
Standards
Best For
- Higher-load Macro Vickers routines with structured multi-point programs
- Labs that want less operator variability and faster repeatable test execution
- Process validation environments that require consistent, documented workflows
NG-50CCD FA
Overview
The NG-50CCD FA is the highest-capability fully automatic model in the NG-5000 CCD FA lineup. It delivers the complete workflow—CCD camera measurement and analysis software, motorized XY stage, and automated Z-axis focusing—to support demanding production and laboratory environments that require repeatable results with minimal operator involvement.
Standards
Best For
- High-demand QC programs where throughput and repeatability are critical
- Structured test plans that benefit from automated focusing and motorized positioning
- Labs that want the most hands-off workflow available in the NG-5000 Macro Vickers platform
