▸Description
The TIME5100 Portable Leeb Hardness Tester is a compact and reliable solution for fast, non-destructive hardness testing of metallic materials in manufacturing, maintenance, quality control, and field inspection. Featuring an integrated D-type impact device, it delivers accurate and repeatable hardness measurements while eliminating the need for external probes, making everyday testing faster and more convenient.
Designed for portability, the lightweight 180 g instrument is ideal for testing large, heavy, or installed components that cannot be moved to a laboratory. Automatic 360° impact direction recognition ensures consistent measurements in any orientation without manual adjustment. The tester supports direct conversion between HLD, HB, HRC, HRB, HV, and HS hardness scales, allowing users to evaluate a wide range of metallic materials using internationally recognised hardness values.
The TIME5100 also simplifies inspection records with built-in memory for 270 readings, adjustable tolerance limits, and a clear backlit display for low-light environments. USB connectivity enables data transfer and analysis using TIME51X Dataview Software, while the RS232 interface supports direct printing of test results. Combining portability, ease of use, and dependable performance, the TIME®5100 is an ideal hardness testing instrument for workshops, production lines, mining, fabrication, automotive, aerospace, and maintenance applications.
