Easyflag 3000

Model: EasyFlag 3000

Radial-arm Brinell hardness tester with built-in milling for heavy forgings and castings, replacing radial drills for surface preparation and testing.

AFFRI Easyflag 3000
Overview

About the Easyflag 3000

EASYFLAG 3000 is a special Brinell hardness tester, with built-in milling, designed to overcome the typical problems of radial drills, which are not suited to bear loads higher than 3000 kg together with the force for blocking the parts, nor to resist the vibrations caused by milling. Manufactured by Easydur AFFRI Group.

HBW 1/10 – HBW 1/30 – HBW 2.5/15.625 – HBW 2.5/31.25 – HBW 2.5/62.5 – 2.5/187.5 – 5/25 – 5/62,5 – 5/125 – 5/250 – 5/750 – 10/100 – 10/250 – 10/500 – 10/1000 – 10/1500 – 10/3000

The standard Brinell test in most forges and steel factories consists in testing of big parts with previous surface preparation to remove rust and scales from the samples. It is common to use a grinding disk to manually polish the surface but this method overcomes some problems like heating of the material, removing material to an unknown depth, production of metal dust, and huge spending of time.

Conventional Brinell Test

The standard Brinell test in most forges and steel factories consists in testing of big parts with previous surface preparation to remove rust and scales from the samples. It is common to use a grinding disk to manually polish the surface but this method overcomes some problems like heating of the material, removing material to an unknown depth, production of metal dust, and huge spending of time.

The sample is then carried under the Brinell hardness tester which can de manual or automatic and the indent generated has to be read with a microscope to calculate the result.

The Solution: Easyflag

Easyflag Brinell hardness testing machine is a fully automatic system that perform all the measuring procedure with just one button:

Automatic research and contact with the sample Auto-milling at programmed depth Auto indenting and loading Automatic reading with autofocus Autoreturn and movement to the second test position

Save Time, Money And Increase Accuracy!

45 sec for one complete test including surface preparation

Test 100% of production with maximum Brinell accuracy

Automatize the quality inspection process

Motorized Turret

Up to 8 slots (or more) for different hardness scales indenters, different optic lenses, laser, even a milling surface preparation tool. Auto-rotating and auto-tool-switching for a complete automatic measurement cycle. For single or multi hardness test methods using only one tester.

Clamping System

Secure contact with the specimen is always maintained, even in the unlikely event of any specimen movement during the operation cycle. The clamping system assures complete stability of any test piece throughout the test cycle, even if it’s oiled, rusty or dirty.

Auto Learning System

The Easyflag 3000 is fully motorized and moves automatically in any direction with centesimal precision. It is possible to program specific routes to test multiple samples in automatic succession.

Autofocus

Automatic focus adjustment for each optic with precise positioning at any magnification by mean of real image scanning brightness, at continuous step for infinite accuracy. This system assures high reading standards, reproducible focusing quotes and reduces reading time. Hardness results are not affected by subjectivity.

Camera Auto-Reading

From perfectly polished to rough & etched samples, the software automatically measure indents on any sample surface. Automatic light regulation on dark, opaque or polished samples. The software controls and adjusts the light and contrast to find the right combination and measure the indent.

Easyflag Mini

Smaller stand support with motorization on the vertical axis of the head. Base plate 2700 x 2000 mm, working test height 1500 mm, depth capacity 1000 mm. (Possibility to motorize all axis).
