  • 3 years free firmware upgrade, standard
  •  Designed and manufactured in The Netherlands, 24 months limited guarantee

NEMESIS 9000™ has a rigid linear force actuator to move the test head in the required position.
This can be done in 3 different ways. Automatic: the test head will decent to the workpiece after pressing the start button. Automatic workpiece position detection. The descending can also be realized in a manual high speed mode or in a manual ‘’focus’’ mode.

6 POSITION TURRET, STANDARD ON NEMESIS
 
A special feature of the NEMESIS 9000™ is the motorized turret which comes as a standard on each system. The turret can hold 3 different indentors and 3 objectives up to 40X magnification, or 6 different indentors on a PURE ROCKWELL model.

Combine the turret with an optional X-Y stage, a rotary table or inclination table and create the worlds most comprehensive 4 or 5 axis hardness testing system. 

Workpiece position is fixed. No handwheels, no difficult supporting and no spindle to carry heavy parts. No wear and tear caused by heavy workpieces. No workload and no additional drive systems required. 
 
 
PROTECTION, SAFETY, ONLINE SYSTEMS

NEMESIS 9000™ intelligent sensor systems will register any irregular or unusual force being applied to the turret, and will stop the test head from descending. In this way the system cannot cause injuries. No significant force is applied when any of the objectives are in viewing position.

The NEMESIS 9000™ test head with force actuator, with or without turret, can be used in on-line structures or being integrated in to production lines requiring automatic testing procedures. The newly developed INNOVAZOOM™ optical system allows stunning, High Definition indent magnification (0.7x to 1000x). Refined algorithms guarantee for accurate automatic measurement.


IMPRESSIONS™, FIRMWARE

IMPRESSIONS™ is the advanced user operating system of the NEMESIS 9000™ Series.
The software incorporates, manual and automatic measurement for all scales, image editing, file storing, image storing, report printing, turret operation, manual or automatic focusing and many other advanced functions. The firmware converts to 3 different hardness (and tensile) scales simultaneously. The conversions can be set to material and standard (ISO/ASTM). The system also controls an (optional) X-Y stage, rotary or inclining table that can be plugged into the standard built-in driver of the tester. No additional charges, no external devices. In combination with an X-Y stage the tester offers the option of running case depth hardness programs, pre defined testing patterns and/or other specific or special tasks defined by the user. All data can be copied or exported in to MS applications like Word, Excel, or a report generator that emails test results directly to your
workstation, or server. All data can be accessed over the LAN or WLAN connections.


ANVILS , TEST TABLES, SPECIAL INDENTORS

Each NEMESIS 9000™ is supplied with a standard set of test anvils and worktables.
Such set includes 1 V-groove anvil, 1 flat anvil 80mm, 1 large round test table diameter 200mm. Additionally, you can opt for a large range of specific anvils such as a spot anvil, set of V-groove anvils tungsten alloy or diamond surface anvils. The tester can be equipped with a furnace or cooling unit to test workpieces under high or low temperature. Robot workpiece loading and unloading can be supported by the built-in industrial computer. To support large workpieces or cylinder blocks you can opt for the (350mmx250mm) large working stage that incorporates T-grooves for solid workpiece fixing.

Flexible working heights
The NEMESIS 9000™ has a standard working height of 300mm. In case you have larger components NEMESIS is available with different frame heights ranging up to 500mm workpiece height and up to 350mm depth.Ask our sales department for customized options.


 X-Y STAGES, ROTARY TABLES, INCLINATION DEVICES

Being Universal means being ready for any task. NEMESIS 9000™ can be equipped with a variety of X-Y stages suitable for different applications. Different testforces require different specifications of the X-Y stages. Size, testload and positioning accuracy can be offered according to your particular requirement. CNC rotary tables and inclining test tables are available depending on the complexity of your workpieces.
