Memory

Internal 8 GB flash memory (> 1’000’000 measurements)

Connections

Adjustable test load

The required test load can be selected by the user in the settings menu. For each measurement series, the force can be chosen from ten levels between HV1 and HV10, to fit a wide range of applications. The minimum required mass for reliable UCI measurements is 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs), and a thickness of at least 5 mm (0.2 inch).

Examples:

HV1 - Precision parts, thin coatings, hardened layers
HV5 - Large components, HAZ, forging parts

Optional Special Foot

The optionally available special foot increases the measurement repeatability. It can be used for flat or curved surfaces. For curved surfaces there are two different apertures, one for diameters from 5 to 25 mm and one for larger diameters from 20 to 70 mm.
