The 402 Knoop/ Vickers Minuteman ELT™ 1A basic automation system, plus automatic measurement capabilities, combines the accuracy and performance of the 402MVD deadweight Vickers/ Knoop hardness tester with the enhanced capabilities of Minuteman ELT automation. This automation system is a step up from our base platform, which incorporates automatic indentation measurement analysis to your computer. With the Minuteman ELT1A software package, indentations can be measured automatically or manually on your PC through software control. A high-resolution digital camera is integrated with the 402 Knoop/ Vickers hardness tester and live images of the samples surface are displayed within the software. Case hardness depth (CHD) calculations, graphing, statistics, and data transfer to Microsoft Excel or Crystal Reports are all included.
