Hardness Tester

Hardness Testers Since 1964 AFFRI® has being designing and producing hardness testers which are used to combine test loads together with devices which concur to make up the AFFRI SYSTEM®. The power supply is indifferently mechanical, electromechanical, hydro-mechanical, pneumo-mechanical. A long - time ago AFFRI SYSTEM® successfully vertook the philosophies of dead-weight and of the relative elevating screws of traditional hardness testers.

AFFRI SYSTEM® in its technological evolution is protected by patents registered over the years. An increase in operative performance has been obtained with the use of control load cell in closedloop (Patent AFFRI® N. 1175158), however, this improvement appears moderate if we compare it with the high qualitative and operative levels reached by AFFRI SYSTEM®.

A  further  improvement in performance was achieved when AFFRI® made the hardness tester working in Rockwell and Brinell tests truly automatic: only one drive starts up and performs - without a break - the phases of positioning, approach and execution of the test. The fully automatic operation and the speed in the entire test cycle, obtained by AFFRI SYSTEM®, remains unchanged even in the load-cell version, due to the use of unprecedented  technologies (patent pending).
