Mitech MHVS-Z Series Digital Automatic

Mitech MHVS-Z Series Digital Automatic Hardness Tester

Product Overview

The Mitech MHVS-Z Series is a digital Vickers hardness tester equipped with an automatic turret system, allowing seamless switching between the indenter and microscope objective lens. It operates based on the Vickers indentation principle, using a diamond pyramid-shaped indenter to create an impression on the material surface. The hardness value is determined by measuring the diagonals of the resulting indentation with a high-resolution optical system.

This tester is specifically designed for high-precision hardness testing of small, thin, or surface-coated specimens, including hard non-metallic materials like ceramics and glass. With a robust structure, digital display, and integrated high-precision optical and sensor technology, the MHVS-Z Series is ideal for use in precision manufacturing, material research, engineering inspection, and industrial quality control.
