A reading device for Brinell indentation diameter with excellent cost performance, featuring accurate and fast measurements, and automatic saving of measurement results.

The KDT-10A is a device for reading the diameter of Brinell indentations. It automatically reads the indentation diameter and displays the Brinell hardness. Compared to visual readings, it allows for accurate and fast measurements without variation. It can automatically save measurement results such as Brinell hardness, diameter (length, width, average), and images, and it also supports outputting test results to Excel. Re-evaluation (re-measurement) based on saved images is also possible. The camera head is very lightweight at 220g, allowing for stress-free measurements. The standard type supports a 10mm indenter, with options for 5mm and 2.5mm indenters. ■Features - Instantly measures the average diameter of indentations and displays Brinell hardness - Automatically saves test results, images, and test conditions - Convenient manual adjustment function - Lightweight camera head weighing approximately 220g *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or contact us.

Wide measurement range of HV80 to 940, excellent accuracy, and overwhelming reliability.

The QH-7 series is a hybrid hardness tester that supports hardness measurement using UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) as well as rebound (Leeb). By utilizing the advantages of both UCI and rebound methods, it enables hardness measurement of various metals. It has a wide measurement range and can measure soft metals that cannot be measured by other devices. Furthermore, it offers highly reliable measurements with very little variation. Even the UCI hardness measurement, which is difficult and prone to differences among inspectors, can be performed confidently by beginners thanks to the software support features. ■ Features - A wider measurement range and higher precision compared to general UCI and rebound hardness testers. - Automatically detects and corrects the orientation (impact angle) of the impact device. - Rich display functions including maximum, minimum, standard deviation, range, and graph display. - A robust metal body that can withstand harsh environments. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or contact us.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
