Helios Hardness Testing Machine by Foundrax

The new Helios Brinell hardness testers represent the latest in Brinell hardness testing technology.  They are robust, reliable and built to cope with years of use in a shop-floor environment.  Utilising the expertise acquired from developing and manufacturing the 400 series (see video below), the Helios machines combine the best, field-proven components in a tough, completely redesigned frame.

There are two models: the Helios B non-optical production Brinell hardness tester and the Helios D optical, fully automatic, production Brinell hardness tester.  The latter model incorporates Foundrax’s World-leading BRINtronic® system, eliminating operator read-errors from the testing process.  The BRINtronic® system is also available separately as a portable automatic microscope.

Both of these models provide repeatable, reliable Brinell hardness testing and are suitable for a variety of environments from laboratories to steelworks.  Both come with the options of a powered table or manual capstan.

Both models fully meet the requirements of ISO 6506 and ASTM E10 and are available with UKAS certificates of calibration.

BRIN400B Series

BRIN400D Series

These features and attention to detail give complete operator independence over not only the test process but also the set up and the subsequent recording of the results. The BRIN400D features the Foundrax type D optical closed loop Brinell test head to give a production line Brinell hardness tester with the capacity to work in scales from HBW 2.5/62.5 to HBW 10/3000

The test force is monitored and adjusted 125 times per second via a specially built load cell specifically designed for use in Brinell hardness testing and the test forces are applied using a high quality Servo motor and Servo Drive giving full torque at no speed. This approach means that the test force is constantly adjusted to ensure that it is correctly applied within tight tolerances at all times giving levels of accuracy unparalleled in a production environment.

The BRIN400 series of closed loop Brinell hardness testers represent the latest in Brinell hardness testing technology. They are robust, reliable, proven and designed to meet a customer’s most demanding requirements in harsh industrial environments such as those found in foundries, forges and steelworks.

The BRIN400 Series is made up of the BRIN400B non-optical production Brinell hardness tester and the BRIN400D optical fully automatic production Brinell hardness tester.

BRIN400B Series

The BRIN400B features the Foundrax type B non-optical closed loop Brinell test head to give a production line Brinell hardness tester with the capacity to work in scales from HBW 2.5/62.5 to HBW 10/3000.

The user can set the dwell time during commissioning or as required after which the test cycle is automatic with no further adjustment needed.

As with the BRIN400D, the test force is monitored and adjusted 125 times per second via a specially built load cell specifically designed for use in Brinell hardness testing and the test forces are applied using a high quality Servo motor and Servo Drive giving full torque at no speed.

Using the BRIN400 series is simple and easy and requires only the minimum of training.

Maintenance is minimal and can easily be carried out by competent trained personnel. Foundrax are happy to supply the necessary training and support to ensure many years of trouble free Brinell hardness testing.
