• Can be equipped with three types of UCI probes:

98N(10 kgf)	Special type of probe with increased load. To carry out the measurement, it is necessary to apply a load of 10 kgf (set automatically by the probe).Low surface cleanliness requirements.	Heat-treated and cemented parts with poorly prepared surface. Measurement on blades, on the inner surface of pipes, holes with high roughness.
50 N(5 kgf)	The main type of probe for solving most hardness measurement tasks. To carry out the measurement, it is necessary to apply a load of 5 kgf (set automatically by the probe).Medium surface cleanliness requirements.	Heat-treated and cemented parts, such as shafts, turbines, gears, teeth, welds, heat affected zones. Measurement in grooves, on teeth, in grooves, on radius surfaces. Measurement on the blades, on the inner surface of the pipes, holes.
10 N(1 kgf)	Probe with reduced load – designed to measure the hardness of products with increased requirements for the size of the print (polished, polished surfaces), to measure the hardness of thin surface hardened layers. For the measurement, a load of 1 kgf must be applied.More demanding on surface cleanliness, compared with U1 (50N).	Nitrided and cemented surface layers of molds, dies, dies, thin-walled parts. Bearings, tooth flanks, saws. Hardness measurement of thin hardening coatings. Measurement on products after thorough machining.
