Computerized Vickers Hardness Tester Supplier for South Africa
MCS Mechatronic manufactures touch screen Vickers hardness testers in Kolhapur, India, and supplies them to precision engineering, heat treatment, automotive and research labs in South Africa. The indentation is imaged and its diagonals are measured automatically by software, giving accurate Vickers numbers on everything from soft metals to hardened parts.
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. Vickers testing leaves a very small indentation, so it can be used on finished components, thin sheet and case-hardened layers.

Vickers Tester Applications in South Africa
Our machines are used by mining houses, automotive OEMs and component suppliers, steel producers, lifting-gear makers, power utilities, SANAS-accredited labs and universities. Typical South African applications include:
Precision components
Hardness of finished parts with a near non-destructive indentation
Heat treatment and case depth
Hardness traverses through carburised and nitrided layers
Thin sheet and strip
Small loads for thin and coated material
Welding procedure tests
Hardness surveys across weld, HAZ and parent metal
Tool and die makers
Hardness of tool steels and dies
Research and universities
Metallurgy and materials research
Testing Standards Supported
MCS Vickers hardness testers conform to IS 1501-2:2013, and with loads from 5 to 50 kgf they cover the macro-Vickers range used in weld procedure and heat-treatment testing.
In South Africa, product conformity is overseen by SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). Results are stored in batch files with statistics and exported to PDF for your lab records and customer reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export Vickers hardness testers to South Africa?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures touch screen Vickers hardness testers in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to South Africa via ports such as Port of Durban and Port of Cape Town.
Which test loads does the MCS Vickers tester offer?
The MVM 50-TS applies 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 kgf, which suits thin sheet as well as hardened steel components.
Is the indentation measured automatically?
Yes. The indentation image is captured and the diagonals are measured by image-processing software on the touch screen, which removes operator reading errors.
Can Vickers testing be used on finished parts?
Yes. The small indentation makes Vickers testing practically non-destructive, so it is widely used on finished precision components.
Can MCS machines support testing in SANAS-accredited labs?
Accredited labs in South Africa work to ISO and ASTM methods under SANAS. MCS Vickers testers conform to IS 1501-2:2013, and results can be exported to PDF with statistics 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 MVM 50-TS runs on 220 V AC, 50 Hz, single phase. 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.
