Specials

Foundrax can design and build a special purpose Brinell hardness testing machine to customer requirements and have done so for many years, some examples of which can be seen below. Our current rate of despatch for special machines is approximately one every six weeks! Whether these be simple portable machines or highly sophisticated fully automatic machines which are an integral part of a process line, we have the skills and experience to produce the right machine for the job.

 

 

Special Permanent and In-Line Machines

Foundrax is skilled in manufacturing and installing machines to suit actual customer requirements. For fully-automatic machines, we recognise that actual shopfloor conditions often require complex machine adaptations and installations for many customers. We are happy to co-operate closely with customers to achieve success in these projects.

Special Portable Machines

Foundrax can manufacture special portable Brinell hardness testers for virtually any application. Examples made to date include chain adaptor hardness testers for very large components and portable railway track testers, amongst others. Click here for more information.

 

Foundrax were the first company in the United Kingdom to be officially recognised for the manufacture of Brinell reference blocks, and are recognised worldwide for the very high quality of our Brinell reference blocks. The BRIN200C has been used to calibrate all UKAS certified Foundrax Brinell reference blocks for many years, is highly reliable, and is extremely accurate. The current generation of the BRIN200C is the product of many years of proven experience and development and is sure to give many years of good service, furthermore Foundrax can manufacture the BRIN200C to take into account any special software or hardware requirements that you may have. The test forces are applied using the traditional lever and weight method but the force build-up and indentation force are monitored via a load cell, giving highly reliable and repeatable force application using the most modern closed loop control systems and software. Using the system is simple, all the operations associated with indentation are automatic, and the indentation measurement is clear and straight forward. Only the minimum of training is required for optimum results.
