Universal with a uniquely high test load range.Compared to traditional dead load systems, electronic load application technology enables a broad test load range.

There are two different basic test load options:

Option 025/250 • 9.8 - 2450 N (1 - 250 kgf)

Option 075/750 • 29 - 7350 N (3 - 750 kgf)

Multiplicity of applications.Quick single measurements with fully automatic test cycle.

Cylindrical work piecesCylindrical work pieces can be easily clamped and tested using the

optional prism-anvils. The hardness value is converted correspondingly

by means of integrated diameter correction.

Inaccessible areasHardness tests can take place without clamping. As seen here a

Vickers test can be executed on the set toothed segment without

the nose cone.

Piston spot testsIn this example a fully automatic evaluation in HBW 2.5/62.5 takes

place. The turret facilitates changeover to standardized Rockwell or

Vickers testing within seconds.

Hardness testing on forged partsFreely selectable test methods and conversions stored as standard

in the tester provide maximum flexibility. Testing takes place in

HBW 5/750. The reading is displayed in HBW 30.


Intuitive operation.ecos Compact with LCD touch-screen provides new opportunities.

Significant statisticsAll test data can be displayed as bar or line diagrams with specified

tolerance limits. Analysis of statistics and evaluation of test runs and

their measurement spreads are available as standard.

Quick single measurementsThe basic standard models with manual image analysis are highly

suitable for measurements on a large variety of work pieces. The lighting

can be adapted to the corresponding work piece surface via sliding

controller in the real-time image. This function is also included in options

with fully automatic image analysis.

Simple operationThe M4C is equipped with an 8.4” display enabling clear, logical and simple operation. All adjustments to test method, work piece surface, tolerance limits,

statistics, manual 2nd test and user level management are united clearly in the ecos Compact software.


The latest auto-focus technologyCompared to conventional focussing systems this solution offers the

advantage of quick and clear automatic focussing, even on complex

sample surfaces such as cauterisations. The auto-focus is based on the

principle of direct force measurement, in which the integrated load cell

registers exactly when the indentor touches the surface. So the focussing

section is already recognized during the test run. As a result the testing

of non plane parallel grinded samples is possible without time loss.

A maximum degree of automatic operation.Time saving.

Maximal repetition precisiondue to fully automatic image analysis.Each surface reflects light differently, so one important precondition for

automatic image analysis of hardness impressions is optimal lighting

and contrast. The M4C hardness testing machine facilitates the definition

of different surface adjustments depending on material and surface

characteristics such as with etched, very dark or reflective surfaces.

These adjustments are stored together with load and magnification. This

ensures a material is always tested under the same conditions, regardless

of who is operating the system, and guarantees the highest degree of

reproducibility.

Change of test method within 2 secondsThe numerous test methods can be stored in the software and selected

as required. M4C is available either with 2-fold swivelling unit or with

automatic measurement turret. In combination with the 5-fold

measurement turret the correct indentor is automatically swivelled into

position. The indentation is measured with the corresponding lens. The

changing of indentors and lenses becomes unnecessary, thus avoiding

expensive calibration time loss and possible operation errors.


Export tool - complete data management.All test information is clearly displayed.

Individual data export function

Direct printing & individual test reports

All hardness testing data Is displayed in .CSV- or .TXT documents via

USB or Ethernet-interface (network LAN) with the optional Exporttool.

These can be further processed in different applications or stored in

the archive. There are various freely definable export schemes with

arbitrary data filters. A custom link-up to your Q-DAS® data system

is possible by means of the “ecos SPC” software module.

A4-test reports can be conveniently printed-out via the connected USB

printer. The test reports include all relevant information of your sample

or test charges, measurement value lists, freely definable user fields,

bar and line diagrams, statistic calculations (CP, CPK). Your corporate

logo is also integrated in the report.

USB stickAll measurement data can be stored

directly in a USB stick. Data evaluation

(e.g. excel chart) can take place at your

desk.

Maintenance-freeload application

The EMCO-TEST developed ecos Compact soft-

ware opens up operation to every function of stan-

dardised hardness testing. A maximum degree of

operation and intuitive operation via LCD touch

screen achieves standardised tests unproblematically,

with a minimum of staff training.

All necessary test methods are deposited in the

software and can be selected by mouse-click. In

combination with the 5-fold turret the correct

indentor is swivelled-in automatically and the

impression is measured with the most suitable lens.

The automatic image analysis with fully automatic

impression determination takes place within a few

seconds and guarantees the highest degree of

accuracy in repetition precision. In order to achieve

quick image analysis a special autofocus system

has been developed based on the principle of

direct force measurement. The focussing level is

recognised during the test run and focussing takes

place without delay.

The principle of electronically controlled and

permanently monitored load application secures

vital benefits. The test load is applied directly due

to the closed loop and a force excess or shortfall is

ruled out.

The extremely broad test load range from 9.8 N up

to 2450 N (1 - 250 kgf) or from 29 up to 7350 N

(3 - 750 kgf) means many standard test procedures

can be carried out with a single hardness testing

machine.

Friction influences in the guiding system depend on

dirt and environmental conditions. These will be

recognised and automatically redressed by the

electronic measurement system. An extensive

mechanical adjustment of springs or levers for load

calibration, as is commonplace with conventional

systems, is not necessary.

Complete data managementAll hardness testing data can be exported via the

ecos export tool into ASCII format to be used in

other applications or to be archived. Different export

schemes with customisable data filters are limitlessly

definable. A4 test protocols can also be displayed

clearly with all the relevant information and statistics.

correspond with international standards. Chose the perfect indentor for

your test.

Lenses are required to display the impressions using Vickers, Brinell and

Knoop optical test methods. In general, the lower the test load the higher

the optical magnification. At www.emcotest.com under accessories you

will find all lenses suitable for your application.
