There are a number of different hardness testers for plastics and elastomers in the market today and their operation is often not very easy and user-friendly. Application is often very cumbersome and time-consuming.

This was the purpose and reason behind the development of a new generation of digital hardness testers, like the new Digi-TEST II modular automatic measuring system from Qualitest.

The Digi-TEST II system comes with lots of easy-to-use features and important engineering advances, which allow for a quick handling, and user-friendly operation. One of these product innovations is its Modular Construction, which means that all measuring devices can be used with different electronic units, and they can be interchanged readily. Modular construction provides our customers with a solution that fully meets common and unique requirements at an attractive price. Digi-TEST II can be expanded and upgraded anytime in the future.

A plug-in system recognizes the plugged test head automatically and the electronic unit reads the corresponding measuring range as soon as the test head is connected with the pick-up bracket. Users do not have to select the measuring range as with other models. The tester automatically recomends the correct test head for the application should the current test head be out of range.

Another expectation for our new product development was the automation of A/B/O as well as D/C/DO durometer scales on moulded parts and plates, which was not possible before. All the measurement within IRHD and Durometer scales can be performed fully automatically. There has been uncertainties and complaints about the difficulties that operators have with the calibration procedures of the less-innovative products in the market today. Using the new automatic Digi-TEST, customers do not have to worry about it complicated maintenance, since our digital measuring system no longer requires calibration of the measuring distance. This means that different temperatures have no influence on the reading accuracy of the tester.

For observation of the flow and recovery characteristics of test objects, users may also use Hysteresis function.

Data logging and evaluation of the measured values can be done through the integrated USB interface in connection with HARDTEST® software, which runs under MS-Windows® 2000, XP, Vista software.

Advantages:

• The highest precision and accuracy is guaranteed by the digital measuring system
• Automatic test, for hardness measurements on moulded parts, with complicated and uneven shapes, and plate materials in all durometer and IRHD ranges
• Operating mode Hysteresis (data logging in connection with PC), for observation of the flow and recovery characteristics of a test object under load and after removing the load.
• Plug-in system: The measuring devices will only be plugged into the pick-up bracket, the measuring devices are identified automatically, and therefore there is no need to adjust the measuring distance.
• A USB interface for data logging of the measured values to a PC
• Through a short recess time and easy operation and handling of this intelligent system, results can be obtained quickly and reliably. There is no need to do any preselections.
• Temperature does not have any influences on the measuring devices, and therefore there is no need to adjust the measuring distance.
• Measuring devices can be integrated into production lines, or automatic manufacturing processes
