The NG-1000 – Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness testers are equipped with a large LCD display and a user friendly interface for controlling all aspects of your test. It features a built in printer to allow the operator to print and document the series of hardness readings. The motorized turret automatically controls the changing of the objective lenses and indenter positions for the quickest analysis. The loading and unloading of the test force is fully automated as well and is held for the specified dwell time (1-99 seconds).Our most advanced NG-1000CCD – Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness tester system includes a high quality CCD Camera and is packaged with our VickSoft Vickers Hardness Test Software. The software will use the indentation image from the CCD camera to detect your Vickers hardness value. Our user friendly VickSoft software allows you to categorize your hardness results by part number/IDs and can then be further exported into a testing report.

Any NG-1000 model can be upgraded to a Semi- or even a Fully-Automatic Hardness Testing System. The Fully-Automatic system has an XYZ stage. This allows the fully automatic system to offer an automatic focus feature. Therefore, after you position the samples and plot the path the unit will perform automatic test and measurement process of indentation, auto-focusing, measuring, and hardness curve plotting with a click of a button.

1. Guided by optical cross rails to ensure the highest guiding accuracy
2. Fast and smooth force transmission can be achieved by using the secondary transmission force of the rack and pinion.
3. This machine is equipped with our most advanced high transmission ratio high precision worm gear rod which can achieve stable continuous lifting, and greatly improved the accuracy and repeatedly of the testing process. This update is in the improved working performance and working efficiency.
4. Equipped with dual optical path, one optical path for eyepiece system, another path for CCD camera, both paths can work at the same time without the need to switch the optical path rod. This greatly extend the service life of the optical system, and make the testing process much simpler.
5. High definition 8’’ touch screen interface with menu structure and digital eyepiece with a built-in encoder. One-push encoder button provides the diagonal length of indentation D1, D2 and hardness value will display on touch screen directly for easiest and most optimal operation.
6. With hardness conversion function, the system can easily convert HV to HRA, HRB, HRC, HBW, and other scales.
7. Standard with (HV & HK) Vickers and Knoop hardness testing capabilities.
8. OK/NG judgement
9. Includes (10X & 40X) lenses for measurement suitable to test wide hardness range of materials from the softest to the hardest of materials.
