‘Hard'' to beat Hardness Testers from Bowers

The 610 series provides a forces range from 2.5kgf/24.5N to 150kgf/1471kN, whilst advanced algorithms, digital filter technology and state of the art electronics help enable the delivery of very accurate and repeatable Rockwell / Brinell hardness readings.

Despite the fact that the efficient new testers are able to complete test cycles in as little as 15 seconds - at a dwell time of 10 seconds, the advanced NEXUS 610 system avoids “overshoot” during test force application, guaranteeing outstanding GR & R results.

The 3 model series enables a wide range of applications to be covered -

The entry level 610RS model performs hardness tests in all Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell scales.

The 610RSB adds Brinell scale capability, 2.5kgf/24.5N - 187.5kgf/1838N, to Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell use.

The 610 RSB model is supplied with a separate Brinell measuring microscope which offers Brinell optical testing up to 187.5kgf/1838N. After keying in the indent diameter, hardness values are instantly displayed on the610 RSB''s LCD screen.

All NEXUS 610 series testers feature a high-performance, embedded fan-less micro PC with an MS Windows operating system and a wireless mouse and keyboard. In addition to the ability to generate useful statistic results, a large memory enables both testing program and testing value storage.
