Leco Corp., St. Joseph, Mich., introduces the AMH55 hardness testing system with advanced image-recognition technology, which allows analysis of information not available with limited threshold-based methods. The system measures impressions in specimens having various surface conditions, including scratched/etched/unevenly illuminated surfaces.
Leco’s unique Cornerstone brand software enables complete control over analysis parameters, method settings, calibrations, reporting, and more. A touch-screen interface with automatic software capabilities, such as simultaneous auto alignment and auto parfocal adjustment, delivers increased speed, ease of use, and repeatability.
Highlights of the AMH55 include automated instrument operation, which combines the tasks of sample testing, measuring, converting, and documenting into one automated instrument. Advanced image recognition technology broadens the measuring capabilities on various types of sample surfaces. An optional advanced analysis module further details the analysis with a color hardness and contour map feature, as well as auto indent placement.
