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.
