The Foundrax model BHD, BHD Type B and BHD Type D radial arm Brinell hardness testers offer the user a range of test head options.
These range from a simple machine using the Foundrax model 134 portable Brinell test head capable of indentation only and operating in a single Brinell hardness scale to a fully automatic machine incorporating the Foundrax Type D fully automatic Brinell test head with integral BRINtronicautomatic Brinell microscope offering indentation and automatic optical measurement in scales from HBW 2.5/187.5 to HBW 10/3000.
The Foundrax Model BHD series are heavy duty radial arm Brinell hardness testers specifically designed to handle the forces generated in Brinell hardness testing and not subject to the inherent weakness of machines, which use converted radial arm drills or similar.
The machines consist of a Brinell Test Head for applying test forces up to 29420N (3000kgf) and a heavy duty frame. The radial arm holds the Test Head of the machine and allows it to be maneuvered to accurately position it for one or more tests without moving the workpiece. The arm can be moved out of the test area to allow the workpiece to be lowered onto the table by crane.
TThe BHD Type D may be networked to allow automatic downloading of batch parameters, as well as automatic uploading and saving of the test results and batch statistics.
The BHD, BHD Type B and Type D machines have a maximum test height of 900mm and a maximum reach of 600mm. Other sizes can be specially made.
The BHD and BHD-E have a maximum test height of 900mm and a maximum reach of 600mm. Other sizes can be specially made.
