Fully Loaded Rockwell Hardness Tester

Buehler offers the Wilson RH2150, an updated Rockwell tester with easy programmability, advanced calculations and verification reminders to help ensure compliance.

The RH2150 is available in two different sizes with a vertical capacity of 10" and 14" (254 mm and 356 mm). It is fully protected from outside influences with a sheet metal casing and load cell protection. Buehler has improved the Rockwell tester with a clamping device attached to the actuator, extended scales, crash protection and a new user interface. Additional features include software interface with intuitive icon-based controls, programmability and workflow automation, one button testing and accessories that provide fully flexible operation for a variety of applications.

According to Matthias Pascher, Hardness Product Manager, "The RH2150 was tested for weeks and months in harsh workshop environments. The consistency of test results and intuitive testing controls is clearly standing out, which is the key requirement for this type of hardness testing machine. We designed unique features, such as the clamping device directly mounted on the actuator, intelligent footswitch controls, or the DiaMet software package for advanced testing and reporting solutions, including network connectability, which is increasingly becoming a requirement to ensure complete test result traceability."

The machine performs hardness testing according to the current Rockwell standards, as well as plastics and carbon testing scales and Brinell depth testing scales, all within the load range from 1 to 187.5 kgf. With the availability of a large amount of testing scales, this machine also fits in research labs or testing centers where operators need to have access to a variety of scales.

The intuitive user interface aligns with Buehler's DiaMet hardness testing software, making it easy to learn and easy to use. A DiaMet package is available that will provide advanced features of DiaMet for the Wilson RH2150.

Wilson RH2150 benefits include:

• Auto-stop clamping device holds down the sample and secures it during testing
• The adjustable LED workspace illumination highlights the test location to help ensure clarity and full visibility
• Indenter extensions are optionally available in several sizes to enable testing also on hard to reach test locations (only usable with clamping device)
• The operator panel can be adjusted on the frame or taken off completely to put aside the machine if needed, allowing full flexibility and an ergonomic test process
• USB connection for easy data output to memory drives
• In conjunction with the clamping device, the external footswitch can be used in multiple ways: clamping and manual start; clamping and automatic start; manual release after test; automatic release after test
• Rockwell Fast Mode allows the user to achieve test results in seconds.
