DuraPro 1000 is a hardness testing module with a high definition 1/2” camera for fully automatic, standardised image analysis of optical testing methods. For hardness testing on unprocessed raw items the test unit is equipped with a milling unit to ensure the test surface can be prepared optimally. Load application is done via the tried and tested closed control loop method facilitating a larger test load range.
     
Areas of use

This module can be applied for a wide range of purposes as it uses both optical and depth gauging methods. The integrated milling unit means there is no need for any further manual treatment of test pieces prior to testing
  Control unit and gauging electronics

DuraPro 1000 uses a Siemens control system for the entire milling and testing cycle. Gauging is conducted using standard G3 electronics and can also be driven by the Siemens SPS. The entire controls, LCD touch screen display for hardness testing, the Siemens operating panel and the operating buttons for the milling unit are contained in a compact control unit.
     

   
Installation and clamping
     

     
     
  Fully automatic image analysis

Automatic image analysis facilitates excellent repetitive precision. Various surface settings can be saved along with the load and degree of enlargement. This ensures substances are always tested under the same conditions. To ensure the indents are displayed as well as possible and for setting purposes the DuraPro 1000 has an 8.4“ touchscreen panel that can be operated in the following languages: DE/EN/IT/SP/FR.

Meaningful statistics

All test results can be displayed as bar graphs or line charts with tolerance limits overlaid. Statistical considerations and result ranges are included as standard. Test reports and diagrams can be printed out via a USB interface.
     
  Operating and controlling the milling unit

A Siemens SPS control unit is responsible for the automatic milling and testing cycle for the DuraPro1000. The Siemens OP77A control unit is used to set all necessary milling parameters and is labelled in the following languages DE/EN/IT/FR/SP. The control cabinet also includes buttons for functions such as start/stop cycle, laser pointer on, etc.
     
  Data export

All hardness testing data can be transported with the optional export tool as .csv- or .txt via the Ethernet interface, facilitating continuous, unbroken data administration.

  Communication with plant/line controls

The Siemens controls can communicate with other control systems via Profibus facilitating simple integration into systems and machines. There are hardware inputs and outputs available for the connection of an emergency off button.
     
     
Efficient  surface preparation
     

  Suitable for various test pieces

The Durapro1000 enables tests to be carried out on a wide range of items. The fully automated test point preparation allows untreated materials to be subjected to hardness testing. The integrated grinding unit helps to determine the best possible surface conditions for hardness testing.
     
  Positioning via laser pointer

In order to position a test point on a subject without immense effort the DuraPro 1000 is equipped with a laser pointer. This enables a test point to be accurately manoeuvred to from a remote position because the laser point can be very clearly seen on a test piece. 
     
  Setting the grinding depth

Grinding depth can be varied and set between 0 and 6 mm by the operator. The surface is checked with a test head before the grinding process is initiated to ensure the required grinding depth is achieved.

Additional options available:
  • Automatic chip suction during the grinding process
  • Heating/cooling for all electrics to raise the working temperature range from -10 °C to 50 °C
  • Software for the automatic calculation of the average of three test points and the production of an average value for the Ethernet interface

    DuraPro 1000 is integrated into a large portal for Brinell hardness testing on shafts, rings, blocks, plates etc. including surface preparation and automatic suction of chips and bits.
 

     
     

     
Over 50 years of experience.
In the hardness testing segment.
     
     
    Nowadays many new production plants and existing machines are developed and upgraded with modular components. As the hardness testing section of EMCO Maier GmbH was founded in 1954 EMCO-TEST can offer decades of experience in this field. Their entire know-how has been packed into the DuraPro series hardness testing modules to be able to provide modular machine components for a wide range of hardness testing applications. An EMCO-TEST hardness testing module always consists of a testing unit and control unit with connecting leads.

     
     
     
Hardness testing modules with know-how.
Premium technology in modular units.
     
     
  Expand existing systems

This testing module is ideal for the task of expanding on existing systems. Hence expense can be spared as there is no need to acquire special machinery, plants or lines.

  Integration into new systems

The testing module can also be integrated into new plants, systems and production lines. This enables hardness testing to be added directly to the flow of production as early as the planning phase. Work pieces do not need to be removed from the production process and 100% of the pieces can be tested.
 
  Customised Hardness Testers

Logical interfaces and exact assembly instructions facilitate the construction of custom-built hardness testing systems, tailored to the exact needs of each user. The only precondition is the existence of a device capable of accommodating and moving the testing module according to the technical information provided.


  Universal application

Whether expanding and upgrading an existing plant, integrating hardness testers into a new production line or setting up a hardness tester as a stand-alone solution, the modular construction of the DuraPro series means it can be used in any situation.

     

     
     
     
Detailed documentation for planning purposes.
Construction drawings, assembly plans etc.
     

Documentation for planning purposes

To give users and plant constructors as much support as possible we provide plenty of detailed documentation for our DuraPro series products as early as the planning phases for plants, lines and machines etc. As well as technical data for installation and drilling plans we also provide complete DXF files in 2D und 3D for each individual hardness testing module allowing  testing modules to be added to, and positioned in construction drawings simply and easily. All documents needed for planning and construction can be downloaded.
  Documentation for operation

On receiving a hardness testing device the customer also receives detailed documentation on each individual DuraPro product. This includes assembly and installation instructions, and operating instructions, to ensure the module is installed and used correctly. These instructions are produced in five languages: DE/EN/IT/FR/SP.
