HR-600SERIES

High-End CNC Rockwell Hardness Testing MachineWith innovative design and functionality thatenables a wide variety of measurements, theHR-600 Series delivers hardness testing that
defies conventional thinking.
The HR-600 Series combines the functionality of two previous models: one forRockwell hardness testing and the other for Brinell hardness testing. Supporting
both test types on a single machine, this new series expands the range ofavailable measurements.
With its high-resolution scale load cell developed uniquely by Mitutoyo thatallows for high-precision test load feedback control and state-of-the-art designthat delivers both aesthetics and usability on the ground, the new HR-600 Series
enables hardness testing that defies conventional thinking.

The HR-600 Series, in addition to a standard Rockwell hardness testing model, offers machines with high added
value that can test micro-Brinell hardness and the hardness of plastics as well, and also a lineup of models
with Y-axis stage mobility that support fully automatic multi-point Rockwell hardness testing. Its key focus is on
usability on the ground, where a wide range of materials — from metals to plastics — may need to be tested.

New design withfunctional beauty
With a table for mounting workpieces andhead with vertical mobility, the HR-600 Series
is built for operability and usability.
Its new design is highly focused on end-user
usability, and the entire product structure has
been inventively modified for functional
beauty — a true embodiment of Mitutoyo’s
pioneering spirit.

WORKPIECE
Supports testing of a wide range ofworkpiece, from metals to plastics
The HR-600 Series can test a wide variety ofworkpiece, ranging from those made of metal(crankshafts, cylinder blocks, etc.) to softer
workpieces (brake pads, plastic parts, etc.),
and supports both Rockwell and Brinell
hardness testing on a single machine.

Enhanced usability and operability effectively
reduce measurement/analysis time
The display screen lets you view test results on the spot. You can choose from five displays (see page 11),according to what you need to view. The screens are touch-screen enabled to deliver excellent usability.
The HR-600 Series also offers many features useful for measurement and analysis, such as those that allow the user
to directly select the hardness scale of their choice and statistical analysis features that can help them analyze
multiple test results. Its enhanced usability will streamline your workflow by reducing measurement and analysis
time and in other ways as well.

Build a system that caters to the needs on the ground
By installing an X-axis stage on an HR-620B
machine and creating a system thatcoordinates with robots, you can automate
the testing procedure, from mounting
workpieces to sorting them according totest results.
