Case Hardness Depth Analyzers
CISAM-ERNST HTD1500 & HTD4000 Case Hardness Depth Analyzers
Non-destructive case hardness depth analyzers for measuring heat-treated layer depth
The HTD1500 and HTD4000 Case Hardness Depth Analyzers from CISAM-ERNST measure the depth of heat treatment without destroying the part, using the patented Ernst load-penetration curve principle.

Overview
Case depth measurement without sectioning
The HTD1500 and HTD4000 are non-destructive analyzers for case hardness depth measurement. They use the patented Ernst principle, based on evaluation of the load-penetration curve and a tested calculation algorithm.
The system determines the depth of heat treatment without sectioning, polishing, mounting and microhardness profile testing, so production batches can be tested without scrapping the tested parts.
The case depth value is shown directly on an 8.4-inch touchscreen, together with the schematic curve, hardness curve, statistics and curve overlay.

Benefits
Why non-destructive case depth testing
No destroyed parts. Case depth is measured without destroying the part.
Whole-batch testing. The complete production batch can be tested.
Less scrap and consumables. Reduces scrap, disposal costs and metallographic consumables.
Results in about 1 minute. Much faster than cross-sectioning and microhardness profiles.
Less preparation. Reduces operator preparation work.
Process control. Supports heat treatment optimization and quality assurance.
