The sturdy design of the NEXUS 8000XL Series allows rough workshop conditions.The tester can be used for measuring hardness according to global standards in most of the common hardness scales.
Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers and Knoop. But it also can do ball and indentation hardness testing for thermoplastics and the Vickers depth (HVT) and Brinell depth (HBT) procedures.
The NEXUS 8000XL Universal hardness testers applies all common test forces between 1kgf/9.8N - 250kgf/2.45kN (8001XL), 3kgf/29N until 750kgf/7.35kN (8002XL), 10kgf/98N until 3000kgf/29kN (8003XL).
All procedures meet or exceed DIN, ISO, ASTM and JIS standards.
The tester contains high-quality mechanical components and is based on a load-cell, closed loop force feed-back system. The advanced user interface IMPRESSIONS™ controls the automatic testing procedure and offers many advanced functions, such as fully automatic indent measuring and data storage. The integrated camera with calibrated ZOOM function guarantees fast, and accurate user-independent Vickers or Brinell measurement.
The NEXUS 8000XL™ Series represents universal hardness testing, in the most versatile meaning of Universal. Heavy aircraft engine parts, automobile parts, train components or general quality assurance or laboratory conditions, are all fields covered by the NEXUS 8000XL™ Series.
