SAMM: Knoop & Vickers automated measuring.

SAMM is a completely automatical system for Vickers or Knoop hardness measuring, using two motorized stages XY and focusing control.

Features

Completely automated measure execution of Hardness vs. border distance graphics with effective thickness (carbon-nitro percentual value);
Simple and intuitive use of the program;
Selection of border line and direction for indentations sequence execution;
Indentation compliance verification.
Hardness re- measuring for deformed or not well defined indentations.
Correction of indentation edges position available;
Autofocusing;
Measures download to an Microsoft Excel^® sheet. Custom Reports generation with graphics included;
TIFF 6.0 or JPEG images storing formats;
Data, images and documents storing using a Microsoft Access^® compliant Data Base;
Targets (grids or crosses) image superimposing, to facilitate the test sample surface centering.

SAMM system can be used in semiautomatic mode too, in order to measure hardness of surface not perfectly polished

The system is also available with XY motorized movements and manual focusing.

SAMM can be installed on previous existing hardness testing machines too.
