� repairs� maintenance contracts� modernizations� calibrations, etc.

An experienced team of service technicians is at disposal for the repair, maintenance and calibration of material, spring, hardness and special testing machines of any manufacturer.

Apart from that we supply to you spare parts for machines types of all manufacturers. We are also at your disposal any time for special tasks.

Calibrations

Via our accredited calibration laboratoryof DKD (DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025) we are entitled to issue DKD calibration certifi-cates for various fields of material testing,thus e.g. for hardness testing machines,spring testing machines, universal testingmachines, but also for tension, compres-sion and bending testing and measure-ment appliances for length variation.

If you have special testing problems orneed special solutions, then we can offeryou customized problem solutions andmatch them to you.

Machine-building Software Modernization

Our products cover the complete load testing range from 0.05 kg to 3,000 kg, and this for a great number of all standardtesting norms. We offer a number of hardnesstesting machines which can be divided intofour groups:

� microhardness testing machines (KB 10 / KB 30)

� universal testing machines (KB 150 / 250 / 750 / 1000 / 2000 / 3000)

� automatic hardness testing systems (KB 250 / KB 750 + revolver + cross table)

� special machine-building (KB 30 air-cushions, KB Mammut)

Our answer to the necessity of data prepara-tion, processing and visualization!

As the universal standard solution for hard-ness testing, regardless of the manufacturerand the number of simultaneously used hard-ness testing machines, KB HardWin facilitatesthe control of all actions in the context ofhardness testing with a subsequent flexibledisplay of measured values and their analysis.A big selection of statistics functions permit a comprehensive integration of the measuredvalues and their processing.

Our flexibility and innovation strength allow us to observe more than our own products.Modernization of other systems is one of ourstrengths. Especially in the field of extensionof manual hardness testing machines can weoffer solutions which considerably increase theautomation degree of exploitation and result in saving of expenses and sparing of resources.

Quality // Competence

At the beginning our reference clients showed us trust in advance. They have not been disappointed!!As specialists of the leading manufacturers of hardness, spring and tension testing machines, we started to market our know-how under our own name.

Thousands of machines in the world bear our development signature. Even today we assume, with our company, cooperative development work for the leading producers in the field.For more than 10 years KB Prüftechnik has asserted itself in the field of hardness, spring, tension and compression testing. A competent, young and dynamic team is almost obsessed with meeting your testing demands and offeringboth standard machines and customized solutions. We produce innovative testing machines from our own development, software solutions for automation with a high degree of reproducibility with material testing, and we introduce modernizations with numerous other systems.

Our references reflect our wide range of offer, but also the target branches in which we can place our products: automotive (+ OEMs), machine-building, metal processing and further high-tech branches.

The customer takes the central stage – be sure of that!

Hardness Testing Machines

Innovative solidness – this is our motto regarding the value of our genuine service. The latter is reflected in our highaspiration to our entrepreneur and productive identity.

Well-founded competence and innovative development work regarding the demands in the field of quality have resultedin the development of the hardness testing machines series KB 10 – KB 3000 which, according to the established test-ing methods ROCKWELL / BRINELL / VICKERS, can test the surface hardness. Starting with the standard versions ofthese machines, with a modular construction mode any upgrade or modernization can be achieved, both of hardwareand software components. But even these standard versions offer a sufficient price-performance ratio with uniquefeatures. These are the keywords: flexibility and modular system group composition!

The type series of microhardness testing appliances KB 10 / KB 30 covers the testing load range up to 10 kg (KB 10), or up to 30 kg (KB 30). The type series KB 250 / KB 750 / KB 3000 and KB Mammut cover the universal testing rangeof loads up to 3,000 kg.

Spring testing Machines

Today, developers are confronted with the task to have to develop ever more efficient products at lower costs, and herethey encounter more and more limits. The newly developed construction parts must meet ever narrower tolerances, and this is especially true for springs. The precision of spring testing systems is therefore crucial for the meeting of these rising demands.

KB Prüftechnik disposes of a long-lasting experience in the field of spring testing technology.We know that a precision spring length and spring strength measurement is very significant in quality assurance and development of new products. As specialists in spring testing systems we analyze the demands, together with you, and develop the optimal machine testing concept, consisting of the testing frame, electronics, software and testing tools.Therefore we can offer you testing systems assured of a good future, with comprehensive support services.

Spring testing systems by KB Prüftechnik offer highly precise, reliable and low-cost solutions for testing of tension, compression and coil springs, as well as of springy construction parts.
