Ametek Offers Versitron® Rockwell Hardness Tester with Updated User Interface and CE Certification

With the fastest cycle time of any hardness tester, the Versitron performs tests in as little as three seconds. The system, overall, is extremely user friendly, requiring little operator training and having few service or maintenance requirements.

The tester is dirt and oil resistant, easily wiped off and cleaned, making it as suitable for both the shop floor and the quality assurance laboratory. Its robust frame allows large specimens to be clamped in seconds prior to the load without supports or tools. Its icon-driven display facilitates intuitive navigation, while its easy-to-read display allows for on-screen results such as pass/fail and display of statistics, including x-chart, range, minimum and maximum values.

The Versitron’s ability to clamp up to 240 foot pounds (325 Nm) is an inherent part of the tester. It provides users with the ability to clamp and hold parts in place prior to testing, reducing time and improving test accuracy.

The Versitron meets ASTM E-18 standards for Rockwell Testing and is qualified to perform a wide range of custom and in-line production applications in the automotive, aerospace and other industries.
