Newage Versitron Series Rockwell Tester
The Versitron ® has the capacity to amaze first time users who are acquainted with the limitations of other Rockwell scale testers. Most experienced testing personnel are quite familiar with tedious testing requirements. The Versitron ® changes all of that. Frequently cleaning of test parts is eliminated. Tests are performed in as little as four seconds even on manually activated machines. Large specimens can be clamped in seconds prior to applying the load without supports or tools and without affecting test results. Small tapers can easily be accommodated with standard components. Large and small companies all over the world now find they can get fast, accurate, and repeatable test results even in bad operating conditions using relatively unskilled operators without significant service requirements.

Features and Benefits:
- Protect Diamonds – The removable clamping shield protects the recessed diamond indenter from being struck by the test specimen during handling. Furthermore the indenter is protected from damage resulting from test samples shifting under load.
- Test Surface Referencing – Immediately surrounding the indenter is an indenter shroud. The purpose of the shroud is to sense the position of the indenter relative to the test surface when the preload has been applied. Should the test specimen deflect under major load, the shroud travels with the test surface to compensate by maintaining that precise reference position with the test surface, so the test result will remain accurate. The error resulting from deflection can be eliminated or substantially reduced as the test results are not sensitive to dirt. A hair under a test block will completely ruin most testers’ results but the Versitron remains accurate. And situated in good environments it requires less cleaning and maintenance.
- Heavy-Duty Clamping – The ability to clamp test parts in the test cycle reduces the time spent on using jack screws or cutting specimens. Clamping is accomplished independent of any applied test loads. The capacity is about 240 foot-pounds (325 Nm) so operators can clamp nearly anything they can lift. Even tapered parts can be clamped using ball anvils. The clamping shield pops in and out without tools so operators can perform small sample testing easily without the clamp.
- Fast top-loading configuration – Top-loading testers apply both the preload and full load through the test head. The preload load is not applied through the elevating screw. The entire load system is a modular and self-contained unit with many advantages over traditional systems. A single pull of a lever by the operator will perform the entire test cycle, applying both the preload and full load and providing a test result in as few as two seconds without operator influence. Versitron systems with a motor drive are started either with a pushbutton or pedal. Versitron has the fastest test cycle of any tester – as fast as four seconds even on a manual tester. Operators require little training since it is so easy to operate.
- Intuitive Touch Screen Operation – The Versitron features an industrial grade touch screen that provides easy navigation and a quick overview of primary and secondary results and stats
