CISAM-Ernst e-brio-w / Altair 20x – optical readers for Brinell indentations
Applications
For reading Brinell indentation diameters and determining hardness. The e-brio-w is a stand-alone wireless instrument with a camera and edge detection algorithm that automatically measures indentations on various surfaces; optional Windows software provides data management, statistics and reports. The Altair 20x is a lightweight handheld microscope with integrated LED illumination and a 0–6 mm graduated scale, supplied with a Brinell indentation reading table.
