Durometer equipped with a rotating head mounted on a tilting system
View Patent ↗Hardness tester provided with a rotating measuring head, a first rotating device and a second rotating device, wherein the rotating measuring head is secured to the rotating device and is capable of rotating with respect to it, and wherein the first rotating device and the second rotating device are secured to each other and inclined with respect to each other. The hardness tester is equipped with a slide provided with a stroke on which the rotating measuring head is mounted and with a first motor capable of activating the movement of the slide.
1 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) equipped with a rotating measuring head (A) suitable for rotating around an X-axis, with a first rotating device (C) suitable for rotating around a Y-axis and with a second rotating device (D) adapted to rotate around a Z 1 -axis, wherein said rotating measuring head (A) is also able to rotate around said Y-axis of said first rotating device (C), wherein said first rotating device (C) and said second rotating device (D) are secured to each other and inclined with respect to each other;
wherein said hardness tester ( 1 ) is also provided with a slide 4 (A 4 ) equipped with a stroke on which said rotating measuring head (A) is mounted and with as first motor (A 7 ) capable of.
2 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein said first rotating device (C) and said second rotating device (D) are inclined with respect to each other by approximately 45 degrees.
3 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 also provided with a screw system capable of engaging with said slide (A 4 ) and with at least one ball carriage (A 6 ) capable of guiding said slide (A 4 ).
4 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein said rotating measuring head (A) is provided with a milling device (A 1 ) and a hardness system with load cell or indenter (Q).
5 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein said rotating measuring head (A) is further provided with a camera (A 3 ) for measuring hardness imprints.
6 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein said rotating measuring head (A) is further provided with a first hydraulic expansion brake (B).
7 . A hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , furthermore provided with a second hydraulic expansion brake (C 2 ) suitable for blocking said first rotating device (C) and a third hydraulic expansion brake (D 2 ) suitable for blocking said second rotating device (D).
8 . A system consisting of a hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 and a portal ( 2 ), wherein said portal ( 2 ) comprises:
a base structure ( 3 ) suitable for supporting the piece to be measured ( 4 ) with said hardness tester ( 1 );
a pair of support elements ( 5 a , 5 b ) rising substantially vertically from said base structure ( 3 );
a connection element ( 6 ) arranged between the two support elements ( 5 a , 5 b ) substantially parallel to said base structure ( 3 ) and with a length substantially equal to the width of said base structure ( 3 ), wherein said connecting element ( 6 ) is able to slide upwards and/or downwards along said support elements ( 5 a , 5 b );
at least one guide ( 7 ) obtained in said connecting element ( 6 ) suitable to allow a portion (E) of said hardness tester ( 1 ) to attach to, and slide along, said at least one guide ( 7 ) following the rotation of said rotating measuring head (A).
9 . A system consisting of a hardness tester ( 1 ) according to claim 1 and a semi-portal ( 12 ), wherein said hardness tester ( 1 ) comprises a block which includes the rotating measuring head (A), said semi-portal ( 12 ) comprises:
a base structure ( 3 ) suitable for supporting the piece to be measured ( 4 ) with said hardness tester ( 1 );
a support element ( 15 ) rising substantially vertically from said base structure ( 3 );
a connecting element ( 16 ), arranged substantially perpendicular to said support element ( 15 ) and secured at one end to a portion of said block including said rotating measuring head (A), wherein said connecting element ( 16 ) is able to slide upwards and/or downwards along said support ( 15 ) and to slide back and forth laterally along said base ( 3 ) together with said support element ( 15 ).
