Product Description
NewAge Versitron Rockwell Hardness Testing System with AMETEK AT-130RDB Configuration
PN: AT-130RDB
The AMETEK AT-130RDB is a specific configuration of the Newage Versitron Rockwell Hardness Testing System, a machine used for measuring the hardness of materials. It is known as a robust, industrial "workhorse" designed for high-volume testing in harsh environments.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Testing Method: The system uses the Rockwell hardness testing method, applying both a pre-load and a full load in a single, rapid test cycle (as fast as 4 seconds).
- Top-Loading and Test Surface Referencing: It employs unique top-loading and test surface referencing technologies to improve accuracy, as the indenter shroud travels with the test surface to compensate for any deflection under major load.
- Clamping Ability: An inherent clamping feature (up to 240 foot-pounds or 325 Nm capacity) holds parts in place during testing, eliminating the need for jack screws or cutting specimens, which saves time.
- Digital Interface: The AT-130RDB model features a digital, full-color, icon-driven display that is dirt and oil resistant, facilitating easy operation and data viewing.
- Durability: The machine is built for industrial use, with some earlier models reported to last over 30 years.
- Modularity: The entire load system is self-contained within the test head, which can be exchanged to measure different Rockwell scales.
