BAQ alphaROCK Combined UCI & Leeb Hardness Tester

BAQ alphaROCK – Key Features

Two Testing Methods in One Device: Unites non-destructive UCI testing for fine structures with the Leeb rebound method for heavy castings in a single portable instrument.
Automatic Probe Recognition: Automatically identifies connected UCI probes or Leeb impact devices, ensuring effortless operation and seamless workflow switching.
Robust Metal Casing & Color Display: Features an industrial-grade metal housing designed for harsh environments and a high-resolution 3.5 inch color TFT-LCD screen (640×480 pixels).
Universal Hardness Scale Conversions: Offers full conversion across Vickers (HV), Brinell (HB), Rockwell (HRC, HRB, HRA, HRD, HRE, HRF), Super Rockwell (HR45N), Knoop (HK), Leeb (HL), Shore (HS), and Tensile Strength (N/mm²).
Massive Memory & USB-C Connectivity: Stores over 1 million data sets (including date, time, evaluation status) and features a modern USB-C port for rapid PC data export.
Long-Lasting Battery: Equipped with an internal 6800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery providing approximately 12 hours of continuous operation.

Application Areas & Examples

The BAQ alphaROCK is the ultimate versatile hardness testing solution for every material type across modern industry:

Heat-Treated & Nitrided Components (UCI Method): Non-destructive testing of induction-hardened gears, shafts, injection molds, and coated surfaces.
Weld Seam & HAZ Inspections (UCI Method): Precise point-by-point hardness mapping of Heat-Affected Zones (HAZ) in pipelines and pressure vessels.
Heavy Castings & Forgings (Leeb Method): Rapid hardness evaluation of large cast iron blocks, forged steel, and massive machinery frames.
Thin-Walled Parts & Sheet Metals (UCI Method): Accurate testing of lightweight or thin components without bending or backing mass.
Universal Quality Control: Ideal for incoming inspection, production line audits, and field service tasks across all metallurgical sectors.
