Universal Hardness Tester NEMESIS 9000 Series
The NEMESIS 9000 Series represents the latest top of the range
development in universal hardness testing. Modern design, innovated
technology, multi purpose hardness testing instrument, based on the
application of mechatronic components and high resolution video
machine vision systems. A superior level of precision combined with
high definition imaging creates an almost unlimited field
of applications.
The NEMESIS 9000 Series represents universal hardness testing in the
most versatile meaning. Aircraft engine parts, automobile parts,
production lines, general quality assurance and laboratory use are all
fields covered by the NEMESIS 9000 Series.
Manual operation or full scale automation to the highest possible level
are both standard on the NEMESIS 9000.
The NEMESIS 9000, Load Cell, Closed loop, Force feedback system is
suitable for the following:
