Vickers cum Brinell Hardness Tester Supplier for South Africa
MCS Mechatronic manufactures touch screen Vickers cum Brinell hardness testers in Kolhapur, India, and supplies them to steel, forging, heat-treatment and component labs in South Africa. One machine performs both Vickers and Brinell tests, with dead-weight loading and indentation measurement on a built-in touch screen.
South Africa has the most developed industrial base in Africa, with mining, automotive manufacturing, steel production, power generation and a large lifting-equipment sector. SANAS-accredited labs, OEM supplier requirements and mining safety rules keep demand for precise, traceable material testing high. For labs that need both methods, a combined tester saves bench space and the cost of a second machine.
MCS Vickers cum Brinell Tester Range
The MVM series covers both methods; the Brinell touch screen model is available for Brinell-only labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export Vickers cum Brinell hardness testers to South Africa?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures Vickers cum Brinell hardness testers in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to South Africa via ports such as Port of Durban and Port of Cape Town.
Can one machine really do both Vickers and Brinell tests?
Yes. The MVM series measures both Vickers and Brinell hardness in one machine, with loads from 5 to 250 kg selected by a push knob.
How is the indentation measured?
After the indentation is made, the objective lens swivels into position automatically and the image appears on the front touch screen, where the diagonal or diameter is measured.
Which standards do MCS Vickers cum Brinell testers meet?
They conform to IS 1754 and BS 427 for Vickers testing, and IS 2281, BS 240 and ASTM E10 for Brinell testing.
Can MCS machines support testing in SANAS-accredited labs?
Accredited labs in South Africa work to ISO and ASTM methods under SANAS. MCS Vickers cum Brinell testers conform to IS 1754 and BS 427 for Vickers and IS 2281, BS 240 and ASTM E10 for Brinell, and results can be exported to PDF for your SABS or client records. Machines can be verified on site by your accredited calibration provider after delivery.
Can the machine run on the power supply used in South Africa?
The supply voltage depends on the model. South Africa's three-phase supply is 400 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
