Metalworking industry – hardness testing EMCO-TEST

Metal processing takes place in various types of production facilities

Metalworking takes place in a wide variety of production facilities – from forging plants, metalworking shops and rolling mills to pipe and profile manufacturers through to rail and aircraft industries.

If hardness is tested on the production floor of a forging plant, rolling mill, metalworking shop, pipe or profile manufacturing facility, then the hardness testing machine must be robust enough to deliver reliable and reproducible measurement results in the harsh production environment. Here, testing is conducted predominantly with high test forces in the macro range.

In rail and aircraft industry production facilities, the widest variety of hardness testing tasks are performed – from tests on small screws or rivets through to large carriage wheels or welded joints on aircraft wings. Consequently, hardness tests are conducted here in the low-load, micro and macro ranges.

The machine is very easy to operate and I find the automatic conversion of hardness values great.

Application examples

Automated hardness testing - with DuraVision Semi-Automatic or DuraJet G5

It is possible to integrate a hardness tester into a production line via a hardware interface. This enables external control of the machine.

External machine control
Option to connect foot switch

Both the DuraVision Semi-Automatic universal hardness tester and the DuraJet G5 Rockwell tester are equipped with an additional interface. This additional interface allows 100% tests to be conducted without having to remove test specimens from the production process.

Another option is to connect the available foot pedal to the interface, in order to use this for performing the clamping movement to fix a workpiece. The significantly simplifies handling in tests on large, unwieldy components.

Test data management - with DuraJet G5

In order to save all available test data simply and clearly, the DuraJet G5 Rockwell tester can archive the data in a structured manner.

Standard test data management
Grouped test data management, e.g. for batches, departments, etc.

The preferred type of test data management is selected prior to testing. In the standard test data management system, all results are stored in a collective list.

If test data needs to be associated with individual users or user groups, specific components, batches or departments, then the grouped data management function should be used. All the determined test results are compiled in separate lists, allowing them to be clearly represented, exported or saved as a report. The groups created can be reloaded at any time and augmented with additional test results.
