Routine optical Brinell
Established loading frame with manual force selection/cycle as applicable and optical indentation reading.
- Laboratory QC
- Lower test frequency
- Operator-led reading
Made for the required test—not a generic label
Multitek Brinell hardness testers
From routine benchtop machines to motorized cycles, camera measurement and engineered automatic systems. Configure the force, specimen capacity, optics, software and service around the actual requirement.
Multitek Brinell platform shown with PC-based indentation measurement. Product details are finalized in the quotation.
Industrial Brinell capability
A rigid loading machine is only the first half of the system.
The machine must create the required force and support the specimen. The optics must reveal the indentation. The measurement must be calibrated. The software and report must preserve what the operator actually did.
Specification rule: compliance is established for the delivered model, selected scales, verification and procedure. A marketing page cannot certify a machine configuration.
Configuration families
Select by workflow and specimen—not by the word “digital.”
Motorized cycle
Single-start load, dwell and unload cycle with repeatable timing and reduced manual machine operation.
- Routine production batches
- Faster consistent cycles
- Manual or digital reading
Digital camera system
Calibrated camera and software replace or supplement the traditional reading microscope.
- Image evidence
- Manual/automatic edge tools
- Reports and limits
Integrated / custom
Machine status, motorized turret, autofocus, camera measurement, stages or production interfaces engineered together.
- Higher throughput
- Large/special specimens
- Traceable electronic workflow
Representative Multitek approaches
Brinell machine options
Model availability evolves. The names below indicate common product approaches; the signed technical quotation governs the supplied specification.
| Approach | Representative naming | Typical scope | Useful when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optical macro-Brinell | BHN 3000-O | Traditional macro-Brinell frame with optical reading options | A robust laboratory machine and clear manual workflow are required |
| Motorized touchscreen | BHN 3000-TC | Motorized load/dwell/unload cycle, touchscreen functions and digital reading options | Routine operation needs faster, more repeatable cycles |
| Digital benchtop | BHN-SL series | Electronic controls and scale capability configured by model | A compact modern laboratory interface is preferred |
| Hybrid hardness | Brinell–Rockwell–Vickers configurations | Multiple test methods on a universal platform, subject to model | The lab must cover different methods without separate frames |
| Engineered system | Custom / SPM Brinell | Fixtures, bridges, handling, stages, cameras and automation | Parts, cycle or traceability do not fit a catalogue machine |

FAQ
Brinell tester buying questions
What load range do Multitek Brinell testers support?
Applicable configurations extend to traditional macro-Brinell loads up to 3000 kgf. The exact minimum, maximum and available scales depend on the selected model and force system.
Are manual and automatic models available?
Yes. Multitek supplies manual-reading, motorized-cycle, digital optical and integrated automatic configurations. Define which test stages need automation.
Can Multitek build a tester for large or unusual parts?
Multitek undertakes custom fixtures, bridges, motorized stages and special-purpose systems after reviewing specimen drawings, capacity, cycle and safety requirements.
Is calibration included?
Machine supply can be coordinated with calibration and installation documentation. Confirm the required standard, accredited scope, location and certificate during quotation.
How do I get an accurate Brinell hardness tester price?
Send the required scales, ball sizes, specimen envelope, automation, optical reading, reporting and calibration requirements. Price comparisons without the same scope are misleading.
