iVision-HB Automatic Brinell Hardness Indentation Measurement
1. Install iVision-HB: Double click the installer file
iVision_v1.0.0_TZ00xxxx_installer.exe on the installation CD, answer yes to the
prompts, the application and the driver of the USB camera should be installed.
2. Open iVision-HB: Insert the USB to USB adapter in your PC and plug in the USB
cable to the adapter and the camera. Wait until the camera driver is installed. Push
the red button on the camera to start the application or just start the application
from the desktop. In case the HB user interface does not show, select menu HB-
>HB measurement. For first time use, use mouse dragging to resize the main
window, the splitter panes, and the table column widths etc to user’s preference.
3. Start the camera: Click on the video preview button in upper right of the main
window to start the USB camera. If a wrong camera is started by the PC, select
menu Capture->Open image capture window, go to menu Device and select the
system camera Digital microscope.
4. Set measurement parameter(s): At the bottom right of the main window, click
on button Settings -> Test Settings to open the HB Measurement Settings dialog.
To set the indentation force for the test sample, select F/D2 and the indentation
ball diameter, the test force will be calculated automatically. For the USB camera,
the Auto-measure method should be set to the default Brightness. Only set
Auto-measure method to Edge in cases of high sample image background.
5. Calibrate the camera: At first time use or after calibration is unloaded as
described below, the system needs to be calibrated for HB measurement. A Brinell
hardness test block can be used to calibrate the system. To use the test block, set
the test force as described above. To start automatic measurement, push the
camera button, or press the Space key on the keyboard, or click the Auto
Measure button in the upper right part of the user interface. If the system can’t
find the indentation automatically, click on the manual measurement button
(Measure by circle or Measure by major-minor axes ).

In case of measurement by circle, mouse press on one end of the indentation
diameter and drag to the other end. If the indentation shape is elliptical, then
measurement by major-minor axes applies, mouse press on one end of the
indentation major axis and drag to the other end, and then do the same on the
minor axis. Enter the known HB value of the sample at the prompt; the system
should be calibrated and ready for measurement. To re-calibrate the system, it is
necessary to unload the calibration. To do so, select menu Calibration-
>Calibration viewer, enter password if set or click OK to pass, click Unload
button and close the viewer, the system should be at un-calibrated state. Do
calibration as described above. Note: the formula to calculate HB is: HB = 2 X F /
(πX DbX (Db– (Db2– Di2)1/2)), where F is the test force in Kg, Dbis the indenter
ball diameter in mm, and Diis the indentation diameter in mm. To obtain better
accuracy, user may re-calibrate with the average of multiple indentations on the
calibration sample, to do so click on the Re-calibrate with sample average button
in the Settings tab, and enter the HB value of the calibration sample. The re-
calibrated data is activated and saved automatically.
6. Measure: If the camera is still (e.g, after a measurement), push the camera
button, or press the Space key on the keyboard, or click on the Video Preview
button to start camera preview. Move the camera or the sample to make the
indentation appear in the middle of the preview. Make the measurement as
described above.
7. Correct the measurement: If correction of measurement is needed, mouse press
and drag the label circle (in case of Measure by circle) or the four vertices (in case
of Measure by major-minor axes) to align the label with the indentation, and
release. Measurement value and statistics etc will update automatically.
8. Report: Click on the Generate Report button to generate report in Word
format. User may opt not to report the indentation images or the data by checking
the Report Settings on the HB measurement settings dialog.
9. Start a new sample: Click on the New Sample button to clear the measurement
results to start the measurement on a new sample.

Appendix: Change the camera magnification
1. Basics of the camera optics: The camera lens
magnifies the indentation with the image projected
on the camera photo sensor. According to the
principle of optics, . For each object to
camera sensor distance (larger than 2f), there is one
set of (u,v) and u & v can change places. Therefore, at
a fixed object to camera sensor distance, there are
only two lens locations to focus giving two inverse
magnifications. The photo sensor of the system camera is 1/3” image format
with the size of 3.6mmX4.8mm.
2. Four magnifications: For better
measurement accuracy, the system
provides two caps, i.e, two distances
between sample and camera sensor,
thus four magnifications to cover the
Brinell indentation ranging from
1.2mm to 6.0mm. The 75mm cap
provides magnification #1 that covers
indentation diameters from 3 to 6mm
(with indentation image between half
and full image frame size), and
magnification #2 from 0.8mm to 1.6mm. The 70mm cap provides magnification
#3 that covers from 2 to 4mm and magnification #4 from 1 to 2mm. User may
decide and change to either one of the 4 magnifications according the measured
indentation size. If not specified, the system is shipped at the most often used
magnification #3 (2-4mm).

3. Change magnification:
a) Step 1: Unscrew the camera cap
(the black tube and the stainless base together).
b) Step 2: If the same cap is to be used (just a different magnification with the
same cap), then skip to step 5, otherwise loose the M3 set screw on the base
and take the base off the 4 beam rods.
c) Step 3: Remove the two length fixing rods and replace with the ones with new
length for the new cap (31mm rod for 70mm cap and 36mm rod for the
75mm cap).
d) Step 4: Slide the base onto the 4 beam rods until stopped by the length fixing
rods, and tighten the M3 set screw. The purpose of the length fixing rods is to
make sure the base flushes with the stainless steel base when the cap is in
place.

e) Step 5: Attach the USB cable and plug in the camera head to the PC. Open the
system software for video preview, sit the base on a sample, loosen the M3 set
screw on the lens fixture, slide the length fixture to one of the two focal
positions (the upper one has smaller magnification than the lower one), fine
adjust to focus and finally tighten the M3 set screw on the lens fixture.
f) Step 6: Screw in the corresponding cap. The stainless steel base and the
internal base should be flush to ensure the same focal plane. The camera head
should be ready for the new magnification.
