Load-Cell Microvickers hardness Tester
Load-Cell Microvickers Hardness Tester FM -LX series is new standard of microhardness tester using Load-cell instead of the conventional weight method
Features of Load-Cell Microvickers Hardness Tester
FM-LX series is new standard of microhardness tester by Future-Tech – Japan
Standout features of Load-Cell Microvickers Hardness Tester
- Loading method using Load-cell instead of the conventional weight method.
- By adopting the Load-cell load system, multi-stage load switching is possible.
- The load switching work has evolved from the conventional dial operation to a smooth touch panel operation.
- Equipped with a hardness conversion function.
- During HV measurement, the conversion value to any scale can be displayed on the front panel at the same time.
New Standard of Microvickers Hardness Tester
Equipped with a built-in camera mechanism
- Independently developed automatic indentation with high performance dedicated software & PC measurement.
- By removing the measuring microscope, the appearance is refreshed. (R type with automatic indentation reading function)

Test force by Load-cell
- In addition to the conventional weight method, a lineup of models that adopts the loading by Load-cell and the multistepload switching have made it possible to achieve the heavy accuracy.
- Multi-load type 50gf~10kgf various with a wide load range corresponds to various tests. (FM-LX series)
Tilted turret
- By adopting a tilted turret, the turret rotation reduces the risk of contact bewteen the sample and the indenter/objective lens.
Infinity lens
In addition to the standard 2 lenses (×10 and ×50), up to 5 can be installed at the same time. A wider range of measurement and observation is possible from low magnification to high magnification.

Dual indenters
- Standard 1 | Vickers indenter (HV)
- Option 1 | Vickers (HV) / Knoop (HK) / Brinell (HB)
- Total 2 pieces of different indenter can be installed
Capacitive touch panel
- The main display screen can be switched by swiping.
- Capacitive touch panel realizes light touch operation.
- Measured data can be transferred directly by connecting to a PC from the output port of the main unit. Eliminates recording mistakes by operators.

Load-cell type FM-LXR
Next-Generation Microhardness Tester
- Built-in camera with an automatic indentation reading.
- Best performance and larger field of view is guaranteed and the high-resolution camera and dedicated software is equipped as standard.
- The indentation is displayed on the PC/tablet and automatically measured.
- Significantly reduces the burden on operators and individual differences in reading.

“ARGO” software main screen
- Various data output such as PDF is now possible.
- Access is restricted by operators’ ID and password.
- In addition, no complicated setup of conventional software is required.
- Anyone can easily perform measurements without the need of complicated settings.
