MICROHARDNESS TESTERFM-LX Series
Loading method using Load-cell instead of the conventional weight method.
By adopting the Load-cell load system, multi-stage load switching is possible.
The load switching work has evolved from the conventional dial operation to a smooth touch panel operation.
Any load can be selected when ordering. (within the minimum to maximum load range)
Equipped with a hardness conversion function.
During HV measurement, the conversion value to any scale can be displayed on the front panel at the same time.

NEW STANDARD OF MICROVICKERS HARDNESS TESTER
Equipped with a built-in camera mechanism
Independently developed automatic indentation with high performance dedicated software & PC
measurement.
By removing the measuring microscope, the appearance is refreshed.
(R type with automatic indentation reading function)
Test force by Load-cell
In addition to the conventional weight method, a lineup of models that adopts the loading by Load-cell
and the multistepload switching have made it possible to achieve the heavy accuracy.
Multi-load type 50gf~10kgf various with a wide load range corresponds to various tests. (FM-LX series)
Tilted turret
By adopting a tilted turret, the turret rotation reduces the risk of contact bewteen the sample and the indenter/objective lens.
Infinity lens
In addition to the standard 2 lenses (×10 and ×50), up to 5 can be installed at the same time.
(option)
A wider range of measurement and observation is possible from low magnification to high magnification.
Dual indenters
Standard 1 | Vickers indenter (HV)
Option 1 | Vickers (HV) / Knoop (HK) / Brinell (HB)
Total 2 pieces of different indenter can be installed.
Capacitive touch panel
The main display screen can be switched by swiping.
Capacitive touch panel realizes light touch operation.
Measured data can be transferred directly by connecting to a PC from the output port of the main unit.
Eliminates recording mistakes by operators.
FM-LXR
Next-Generation Microhardness Tester.
Built-in camera with an automatic indentation reading.
Best performance and larger field of view is guaranteed and the high-resolution camera and dedicated
software is equipped as standard.
The indentation is displayed on the PC/tablet and automatically measured.
Significantly reduces the burden on operators and individual differences in reading.
“ARGO” software main screen
Various data output such as PDF is now possible.
Access is restricted by operators' ID and password.
In addition, no complicated setup of conventional software is required.
Anyone can easily perform measurements without the need of complicated settings.
- ①：Measurement results, D1 & D2, conversion values for each scale etc. are displayed.
- ②：Displays the most recent measurement results in a list.
- ③：Various operations can be carried out for the operators to operate easily.
- Items are displayed with easy-to-understand illustrated icons.
- For load application & reading, lens selection, indenter selection, setting change of various species, data and image save & recall, it became possible to smoothly create report, etc.
- ④：Live/saved image display screen.
- The use of a high-resolution camera improves operator visibility and measurement accuracy. Indentations on rough surfaces, which were previously difficult to read, can now be read in many cases.
- By making the aspect ratio almost 1:1, it is possible to display and measure wide indentations.
