Abstract:
A coordinate measuring system includes a probe provided with first to ninth infrared LEDs, and an image capture apparatus and calculation controller detecting the position of the probe. The probe includes a distance obtainer acquiring distance data for a distance from the probe to the image capture apparatus; and an illumination controller controlling an illumination time of the first to ninth infrared LEDs based on the distance represented by the distance data.
Abstract:
A hardness tester has a test force applier generating a test force using an electromagnetic force generated by supplying a current to a drive coil provided in a magnetic field and applies the test force to an indenter to press the indenter into a surface of a sample; a temperature detector detecting a temperature of the test force applier; and a test force corrector correcting the test force generated from the test force applier based on the temperature detected by the temperature detector.
Abstract:
A hardness tester includes a measurer (CPU) measuring a value for a material characteristic of a sample in conjunction with formation of an indentation, an acquirer (CPU) acquiring measurement data associated with the value for the material characteristic of the sample measured by the measurer, and a determiner (CPU) accumulating a predetermined value for the material characteristic based on the measurement data acquired by the acquirer and determining a time to replace the indenter based on the accumulated value for the material characteristic.
Abstract:
A hardness tester loads a predetermined test force on an indenter and presses into a surface of a sample to form an indentation. The indenter includes an indenter memory storing indenter information specific to the indenter. The indenter is detachably mounted to an indenter shaft. A CPU acquires, from the indenter memory, the indenter information of the indenter mounted to the indenter shaft, and uses the acquired indenter information to perform a predetermined operation and calculate hardness.
