Micro measuring force hardness tester for soft materials such as rubbers and polymers based on voice coil closed loop force feedback technology. Motorized test head can move 100mm up/down and allows large workpiece accommodation. The voice coil motor has made it possible to set the load to be measured as required. In addition, since it is possible to set any required measuring time, measurement can automatically be performed for the optimum time, and this makes it possible to deal with soft samples (like jellies, chewing gum, bread etc.) that could not be measured using conventional standards.

 

Can be operated stand alone or over PC. Software available for data analysing and file storage. Available configurations:

INRH-01(micro measuring force hardness tester) JIS K 6253 (type A / type E) / ASTM D 2240 (type OO) emulation INRH-02 (IRHD rubber hardness tester, M method), ISO 48, DIN 53 519, BS903 By connecting the unit to a personal computer, the relationship between time and displacement can be shown in graph form. Information on the manner of displacement can also be obtained as numeric data, which is useful in the evaluation of physical properties.
