WHAT WE DO? Affri is a pioneer in the world of hardness testing

SUCCESS

The Affri company is well know all around the world. The

commercial power is spread in all countries.

RESEARCH

Affri is a family company which has been designing and

producing hardness testers from more than 60 years.

IMPROVE

Affri has studied systems which has been milestones for

hardness testing. Each improvement has been patented.

PRODUCE

The 100% Italian production assures high quality.

Affri has the ability to develop any custom project.

A LITTLE HISTORY Hardness testers since 1954

OUR GOAL IS ACCURACY The Affri system is a combination of five characteristics which assure high accuracy

CLAMPING AUTOMATION CLOSED LOOP SPEED

THE FIRST RESULT IS CORRECT

Accurate measurement at the first test.

No need for multiple tests.

Saving time mean saving costs.

STABILITY AND SECURITY

Secure contact with the specimen.

Perfect stability of any test piece

throughout the test cycle.

ONE BUTTON MEASUREMENTS

The entire test is managed by a single

drive. The hardness tester can be used

by operators of every level.

CONTROLLED LOAD CELLS

Test loads are electronically

controlled with a frequency of 1 kHz.

Perfect linearity in every range.

BIG BASE

STRONG FRAME

No structural deflections.

Low wear of components.

Long, large or small specimens.

AUTOMATION CLOSED LOOP SPEED

THE FIRST RESULT IS CORRECT ONE BUTTON MEASUREMENTS

CONTROLLED LOAD CELLS

OUR GOAL IS ACCURACY Focus on main points

Just push the start button and the head moves down performing the automatic hardness test cycle:

1 Automatic contact with the specimen

2 Automatic active sliding clamping

3 Automatic preloading and loading

4 Automatic measuring and going back

The entire test cycle is complete and the result appears on a large display.

Load forces are applied through load cells and electronically controlled in “Closed Loop” (Pat. AFFRI) with a

frequency of 1 kHz. Each load force is automatically programmed and controlled assuring perfect linearity in

every range eliminating the problems associated with traditional dead weight system testers. Results are not

affected by any structural deflection, misalignment or external vibration.

Accurate measurements, even on the first test, eliminate the need for multiple tests.

There is no need to perform a second test, the first one is absolutely precise.

The R&R (repeatability and reproducibility) data is at the top of its class.

HARDNESS TESTING The hardness test is the application of a certain load over a surface using a specific indenter
