Universal with a uniquely high test load range.Compared to traditional dead load systems, electronic load application technology enables a broad test load range.
There are two different basic test load options:
Option 025/250 • 9.8 - 2450 N (1 - 250 kgf)
Option 075/750 • 29 - 7350 N (3 - 750 kgf)

Multiplicity of applications.Quick single measurements with fully automatic test cycle.
Cylindrical work piecesCylindrical work pieces can be easily clamped and tested using the
optional prism-anvils. The hardness value is converted correspondingly
by means of integrated diameter correction.
Inaccessible areasHardness tests can take place without clamping. As seen here a
Vickers test can be executed on the set toothed segment without
the nose cone.
Piston spot testsIn this example a fully automatic evaluation in HBW 2.5/62.5 takes
place. The turret facilitates changeover to standardized Rockwell or
Vickers testing within seconds.
Hardness testing on forged partsFreely selectable test methods and conversions stored as standard
in the tester provide maximum flexibility. Testing takes place in
HBW 5/750. The reading is displayed in HBW 30.

Quick single measurementsThe basic standard models with manual image analysis are highly
suitable for measurements on a large variety of work pieces. The lighting
can be adapted to the corresponding work piece surface via sliding
controller in the real-time image. This function is also included in options
with fully automatic image analysis.
Simple operationThe M4C is equipped with an 8.4” display enabling clear, logical and simple operation. All adjustments to test method, work piece surface, tolerance limits,
statistics, manual 2nd test and user level management are united clearly in the ecos Compact software.

The latest auto-focus technologyCompared to conventional focussing systems this solution offers the
advantage of quick and clear automatic focussing, even on complex
sample surfaces such as cauterisations. The auto-focus is based on the
principle of direct force measurement, in which the integrated load cell
registers exactly when the indentor touches the surface. So the focussing
section is already recognized during the test run. As a result the testing
of non plane parallel grinded samples is possible without time loss.
A maximum degree of automatic operation.Time saving.
Maximal repetition precisiondue to fully automatic image analysis.Each surface reflects light differently, so one important precondition for
automatic image analysis of hardness impressions is optimal lighting
and contrast. The M4C hardness testing machine facilitates the definition
of different surface adjustments depending on material and surface
characteristics such as with etched, very dark or reflective surfaces.
These adjustments are stored together with load and magnification. This
ensures a material is always tested under the same conditions, regardless
of who is operating the system, and guarantees the highest degree of
reproducibility.
Change of test method within 2 secondsThe numerous test methods can be stored in the software and selected
as required. M4C is available either with 2-fold swivelling unit or with
automatic measurement turret. In combination with the 5-fold
measurement turret the correct indentor is automatically swivelled into
position. The indentation is measured with the corresponding lens. The
changing of indentors and lenses becomes unnecessary, thus avoiding
expensive calibration time loss and possible operation errors.

Export tool - complete data management.All test information is clearly displayed.
Individual data export function
Direct printing & individual test reports
All hardness testing data Is displayed in .CSV- or .TXT documents via
USB or Ethernet-interface (network LAN) with the optional Exporttool.
These can be further processed in different applications or stored in
the archive. There are various freely definable export schemes with
arbitrary data filters. A custom link-up to your Q-DAS® data system
is possible by means of the “ecos SPC” software module.
A4-test reports can be conveniently printed-out via the connected USB
printer. The test reports include all relevant information of your sample
or test charges, measurement value lists, freely definable user fields,
bar and line diagrams, statistic calculations (CP, CPK). Your corporate
logo is also integrated in the report.
USB stickAll measurement data can be stored
directly in a USB stick. Data evaluation
(e.g. excel chart) can take place at your
desk.

Maintenance-freeload application
The EMCO-TEST developed ecos Compact soft-
ware opens up operation to every function of stan-
dardised hardness testing. A maximum degree of
operation and intuitive operation via LCD touch
screen achieves standardised tests unproblematically,
with a minimum of staff training.
All necessary test methods are deposited in the
software and can be selected by mouse-click. In
combination with the 5-fold turret the correct
indentor is swivelled-in automatically and the
impression is measured with the most suitable lens.
The automatic image analysis with fully automatic
impression determination takes place within a few
seconds and guarantees the highest degree of
accuracy in repetition precision. In order to achieve
quick image analysis a special autofocus system
has been developed based on the principle of
direct force measurement. The focussing level is
recognised during the test run and focussing takes
place without delay.
The principle of electronically controlled and
permanently monitored load application secures
vital benefits. The test load is applied directly due
to the closed loop and a force excess or shortfall is
ruled out.
The extremely broad test load range from 9.8 N up
to 2450 N (1 - 250 kgf) or from 29 up to 7350 N
(3 - 750 kgf) means many standard test procedures
can be carried out with a single hardness testing
machine.
Friction influences in the guiding system depend on
dirt and environmental conditions. These will be
recognised and automatically redressed by the
electronic measurement system. An extensive
mechanical adjustment of springs or levers for load
calibration, as is commonplace with conventional
systems, is not necessary.
Complete data managementAll hardness testing data can be exported via the
ecos export tool into ASCII format to be used in
other applications or to be archived. Different export
schemes with customisable data filters are limitlessly
definable. A4 test protocols can also be displayed
clearly with all the relevant information and statistics.

the optical magnification. At www.emcotest.com under accessories you
will find all lenses suitable for your application.
