CV EW-650: Bowers 'Hard Sell'

The prolific CV arm of the Bowers Metrology Group has recently announced the launch of its advanced new, CV-650 Digital Rockwell Hardness Tester. Featuring a new, robust cast frame with a generous working space to help accommodate bulky specimens, the flexible new CV-650 is able to measure in all standard Rockwell hardness scales and provide simultaneous conversions to HV, HB and other scales.

Bowers claims that the new tester’s long list of advanced facilities belies its low price. The unit’s impressive features include a unique motorised load application system, a superior (Heidenhain) depth measuring transducer, automated measuring procedures and a high-speed preload facility.

The CV-650’s easy to use, touch-screen operating panel and user-friendly menu gives access to storage of 50 test programmes, alpha/numeric data entry, ‘online’ statistics, storage of 20,000 single hardness values, a go/no go mode, a useful built-in printer and a bi-directional USB2 connector, enabling communication with computers and SPC devices.
