BENCH TOP STANDS: THE SHORE LINE

All the precision and safety you need in one instrument

Use your portable hardness tester, either analogue or electronic, with one of our bench top stands. You will enjoy maximum repeatability and accuracy in your Shore hardness tests.

All this thanks to the correct orthogonality between the indenter and the sample being tested, the uniformity in the application of the force and the control system ensuring appropriate positioning of the stand on the workbench.

All our bench top stands are in compliance with international standards, including ISO 48-4 e ASTM D2240, ISO 868 and ISO 21509.

Our most demanding customers want maximum precision, speed and automation in their Shore hardness testing. And our DX 835 was conceived just for that.

Not only does it eliminates human influence when performing tests, but it can also ensure high repeatability of results thanks to the electronic control of the descend speed.

Maximum repeatabilityof test results:DX 835 can electronically control the descent speed of the measuring probe, with programmable values from 0.5 mm/s to 16 mm/s. This ensures a better precision and high repeatability of test results.
The motorised system does the work for you: just place the sample being tested in position and press a button. This will save you valuable time that you can spend on other productive activities.
Suitable for testing any type of geometry:DX 835 is designed to help you perform Shore hardness tests on all types of samples. Even on the most complex objects such as O-rings: the plate is compatible with accessories specially developed to secure tiny objects in position.
