Core Points
mBV is right when hardness testing and local material data should run together.
For laboratories and QA teams that want to combine classical hardness testing and local yield strength Rᶦₚ₀,₂ or tensile strength Rᶦₘ in one shared workflow.
6-position revolver
Several indenters and objectives can be provided automatically for mixed testing routines.
60+ hardness methods
The system is designed for recurring, standards-oriented hardness testing tasks and not just single measurements.
i3D® plus hardness workflow
Hardness values and local material data run on the same platform instead of separate device islands.
Details
i3D® mBV for hardness testing and local material data in one system
What matters directly in the setup.
Hardness test load, revolver logic, automated positioning and one shared software line. That is what mBV is built for.
- Hardness testing methods and i3D® evaluation in one system for mixed laboratory, QA and release routines
- 6-position revolver, up to eight standards-compliant optics and automated XY table for reproducible testing workflows
- Optional second load cell for micro-loads and controlled force feedback depending on configuration
- Useful when hardness comparison should remain available but additional local material data is required
- hardness test loads from 0.05 to 62.5 kgf
- suited for recurring hardness programs with automated positioning and documented point logic
- currently around 18 weeks delivery time for new devices
- procurement as purchase or leasing depending on project and investment logic
Software
KB Hardwin and i3D® keep hardness testing and local material data in one line.
Hardness testing and i3D® evaluation run in one shared software line. That reduces method switching and keeps operation, documentation and reporting together in one clean laboratory workflow.
- automated hardness evaluation with reproducible operating logic
- shared documentation for hardness values and local material data
- suited for structured laboratory reports and recurring QA routines
What mBV changes in day-to-day work
mBV is strong when classical hardness testing should not be replaced but integrated into the same laboratory routine as local material data.
The real added value lies in keeping sample, operating logic and documentation together although two testing logics are used.
- less switching between hardness value and local material statement
- well suited for laboratory and QA with mixed standard and special tasks
- useful for stable routines instead of isolated one-off tests
Procurement and options
mBV is planned as a new device. Additional options such as more optics, turret configurations or 3D measurement are added according to the testing spectrum.
That keeps the system closer to the real laboratory logic and avoids unnecessary over-configuration.
- new devices as the current procurement route
- purchase or leasing possible
- additional optics and revolver options depending on testing scope
- 3D measurement optional for topographic additional information
Contacts
Clarify test scope, hardness workflow and device options directly in conversation.
If test load range, sample type or routines are roughly known, it can be checked quickly whether mBV is technically the right fit.
