ATI V-AUTO
Model: ATI V-AUTO (V1 / V10 / V30 / V50)
Automatic Vickers, micro-Vickers and Knoop hardness tester with closed-loop load cell, multi-position turret and CNC automation.
About the ATI V-AUTO
Wireless and compact hardness tester for Vickers and micro Vickers tests with built-in image viewing. Fully automatic hardness tester in CNC system.
ATI V-AUTO is an Automatic Vickers, micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness Tester , engineered to meet the rigorous standards set forth by ASTM E92 and E384. This advanced testing instrument employs a high-precision load cell and Closed-Loop electronic control with a 1 KHz sampling rate, ensuring optimal accuracy and reliability. One START button to get start the entire test cycle with display of the results. Fully automatic test cycle with automatic succession of each phase without interruption. Direct image of indentation with manual or automatic measuring on-board. Turret at 5 positions with automatic selection of indenters and objective lens, depending on the selected scale. ATI V-AUTO is equipped with a motorized X-Y-Z table and auto-focus for multi indentation cycle.
ATI V-AUTO is equipped with a motorized X-Y table and auto-focus for multi indentation cycle. ATI V-AUTO is equipped with a automatic turret at 5 positions (3 steps for objective lens and 2 steps for indenters) with automatic selection of indenters and objective lens, depending on the selected scale. Interactive zoom from 15X to 800X for each lens. ATI V-AUTO has the automatic specimen scanning function : with this function, our Vickers hardness tester creates a precise mapping of the specimen through automatic scanning of the sample profile and through automatic recognition of different materials that compose it (external resin and metal material). This is the solution in case of multiple indentation paths in automatic test cycle to determine the effective depth of hardness. It is possible to create patterns with the desired geometries.

How the ATI V-AUTO works
Automatic multi positions turret
ATI V-AUTO is equipped with a motorized X-Y table and auto-focus for multi indentation cycle. ATI V-AUTO is equipped with a automatic turret at 5 positions (3 steps for objective lens and 2 steps for indenters) with automatic selection of indenters and objective lens, depending on the selected scale. Interactive zoom from 15X to 800X for each lens. ATI V-AUTO has the automatic specimen scanning function : with this function, our Vickers hardness tester creates a precise mapping of the specimen through automatic scanning of the sample profile and through automatic recognition of different materials that compose it (external resin and metal material). This is the solution in case of multiple indentation paths in automatic test cycle to determine the effective depth of hardness. It is possible to create patterns with the desired geometries.
Software
ATI has developed an innovative software solution designed to simplify the operator’s work and meet the requirements of Vickers hardness testing. The software fully automates the entire Vickers testing cycle, ensuring maximum accuracy, repeatability, and reliability of the test results. Thanks to the digital zoom function, the indentation can be enlarged directly using the mouse while maintaining perfect objective focus at all times. This makes manual measurement easier and more accurate: the magnification window allows the operator to view in real time the exact point where the reference markers are positioned for calculating the two indentation diagonals. For more comprehensive test documentation, each result can be supplemented with notes and comments, improving test traceability and facilitating data interpretation.
All test results and related measurement sessions, including operator information, workpiece data, and test parameters, are stored in a dedicated database. This architecture ensures full compatibility with bidirectional communication systems, enabling seamless integration with manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, and industrial automation systems.
