This model has been developed to perform tests using the Rockwell scale (with loads of 60, 100 and 150 kp), and the Rockwell superficial scale ( loads of 15, 30 and 45 kp), but can also apply additional loads for other tests, such as Brinell or Vickers It is comprised of a motorised frame, where the load application systems are installed (which employ a computer controlled force transducer).
Indentation depth is measured by a sensor with a resolution of 0.1 microns (0.0001 mm).
The Rockwell system is used to test parts made of metal, plastic, rubber, etc.
The Rockwell indenter can move horizontally and vertically to test different points on large parts.
