Wilson VH1150 Macro-Vickers Hardness Tester (VH1150)

The Wilson VH1150 is the ultimate evolution of the deadweight Vickers hardness tester offering a unique load range of 300gf- 50kgf in one machine. The automatic load selection eliminates the need for a hard to operate manual selector knob, and opens new possibilities in automation applications.

Together with the adjustable pan and tilt user interface panel, the automatic load selection capabilities form the center of an ergonomic system. The multi-scale conversion, shape correction and USB data export make hardness testing easier, helping you focus on process control.

Best in Class Optics Ensure Accurate Results

A precise indenting system is a critical requirement for a hardness tester but this must be combined with an accurate system for measuring the indentations.This high quality optical system, with proprietary components, provides an unparalleled image quality, previously unavailable in hardness testing systems, providing the precision required for the most accurate meaurements possible.
The addition of a digital camera is an option on this system that is necessary for automation. The camera is housed within the machine cover itself, keeping it safe from dust and contamination, as well as preventing it from being misaligned.

Motorized 5 Position Turret

The precision mechanics of the VH1150 motorized turret allow for fast and quiet positioning, with the inclusion of indenter and
objective switching as part of the automated test cycle. The turret offers 4 objective positions, allowing you to fit all the magnification power for your application. The standard 10x and 20x objective can be extended with a 50x or even a 100x objective, thus allowing for a total magnification of upto 1000x. The optional 5x objective, with its large field of view makes navigation with a motorized XY-stage easier.

Automatic Load Selection

Load selection is controlled through the touchscreen interface, eliminating the need for the user to make a manual selection. This allows for improved ergonomics and helps to prevent user error.
