FEASTERVILLE, PA-All B.O.S.S.® (Brinell
Optical Scanning System) units from Newage
Testing Instruments now feature a USB
connection as standard. This addition allows
the field-proven B.O.S.S. to be used with any
desk top, laptop or tablet style PC, while
maintaining the accuracy and durability that
the system is known for.
The B.O.S.S. represents the most significant
technological improvement to Brinell testing
since the test was first introduced. The
system measures Brinell impressions in
seconds and yields a measurement resolution
of 0.01mm. The system even takes into account
such anomalies as impression roundness and
overall surface finish.
Among the standard features of the B.O.S.S.
system is a high-resolution video scanning
head with video imaging software that
operates in a Windows® environment. The
software and scanning head can be added to an
existing computer or provided as a complete
"turn-key" system using a computer with
optional printer and mobile protective
cabinet.
The powerful PC-based B.O.S.S. features
Windows®-based software, statistical and
reporting functions, data storage and
transfer, and an assortment of advanced
options. These options include real-time
advanced SPC, the ability to save a viewed
image, and a manual measurement function that
allows the B.O.S.S. to be used to measure
other visually discernable aspects such as
etched case depth layers.
The new OS-100X-HD option for the B.O.S.S.
adds the ability to accurately measure
light-load Brinell impressions made with test
loads ranging from 62.5 Kgf to 187.5 Kgf and
tungsten carbide ball indenters from 2.5mm
and 5.0mm in diameter. Both the standard and
HD versions include an impression measurement
scan head with built-in light source, imaging
microchip and a reduced footprint with free
stand adapter (where applicable).
