ROCKWELL HARDNESS TESTER
FOR ROBOTS AND CNC MACHINES

Automatic hardness tester connectable

torobots and CNC machines.

Fully conform to ASTM and ISO standards.

EXPLORER

Wireless connection between

CNC machine and Explorer

Explorer transfers the data concerning the test just carried out thanks to a Wireless connection via standard Bluetooth.

Data transfer is guaranteed up to 30 meters (even if without net noises it is possible to transfer beyond 100 meters).

This allows to place the support PC even far from the instrument for better ergonomics of the working place.

EXPLORER: the heart of hardness measurement like never seen before!

Rockwell hardness tester for robots and CNC machines

Explorer represents the heart of hardness measurement and automation enclosed in a unique instrument and it’s a hardness tester for CNC machines and robots. Explorer can be easily controlled from the general control panel of the CNC machine because the automation system recognises Explorer as its tool.

Explorer is a reliable and precise hardness tester, with a new design and user friendliness. It allows to make quick and precise measurements. The instrument is applied to the working centres and handled just like a standard tool. Different types of coupling are available ISO, DIN 30,40,50 and more on demand.

Test loads :

2 – 5,6 kgf (19,614 – 54,92 N) From 3 to 187,5 kgf (From 29,42 to 1839 N) – As optional 250 kgf (2452 N)

Rockwell and superficial Rockwell ISO 6508 / ASTM E-18

HRA – HRB – HRC – HRD – HRF – HRG – HRL – HRM – HRR / HRN – HRT

Brinell HBWT ASTM E-103 / SO 6506

1/30 – 1/10 – 2.5/15.6 – 2.5/31.5 – 2.5/62.5 – 2.5/187.5 – 5/125

MAXIMUM INNOVATION

Explorer represents the pinnacle of technological innovation. It is recognized by CNC MACHINES and ROBOTS as one of their own limbs.
It enables the execution of a hardness test directly along the production line.

Now it will be possible to reach the most inaccessible and hard-to-reach spots and make hardness tests.
