CCSi features the Gibitre Automatic Hardness Check for evaluating the durometer hardness of elastomers and most polymers.
Stand-alone automatic hardness units are independent hardness measurement devices designed for the execution of hardness tests according to a specific hardness scale. The instruments have been designed to meet the requirements of research labs and for production control.
The solid construction of the instrument, the high quality sensors, and the lifting system with ball-recirculation screw makes them ideal both for research purposes and for heavy-duty production control.
Available ASTM D2240 hardness scales are: Shore A, B, C, D, DO, OO, and M
Key Features
• Motor controlled displacement of the sample for automatic multiple testing
• The hardness units can be controlled both with Gibitre Hardness Software and with Gibitre Touch Screen display
• Full conformity with international standards
Accessories
Extension plate for the testing of big parts.
