Brinell, knoop, rockwell, vickers hardness tester

Streamline your material quality assurance with precision hardness testing, designed to handle diverse materials from automotive engine blocks to aerospace turbine blades, ensuring processing accuracy whether in a research lab or industrial setting.

The Qness M EVO Series by ATM Qness GmbH comprises versatile hardness testers designed for rigorous material analysis in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. These testers provide precise Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, and Knoop hardness evaluations, essential for assessing the durability of components like aircraft landing gear and industrial valve bodies. Users can choose from the Qness 250 M EVO, Qness 750 M EVO, and Qness 3000 M EVO, each offering specific test force ranges from 0.3 to 3000 kilograms, accommodating a variety of materials and testing requirements.

Operating manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically, each model features a capacitive touch display for user-friendly control and an industrial-grade 5-megapixel Ethernet camera for high-quality imaging and stable data transfer. The robust steel frame can be customized to accommodate extra-large workpieces beyond the standard 510 mm test height and 320 mm throat depth. XLED illumination ensures precise Brinell indentation measurements, enhancing accuracy and repeatability.

The series integrates seamlessly within production lines, equipped with Ethernet interfaces for remote operation, ideal for environments with distributed control systems. The Qpix T2 software enhances user interaction with multi-touch capability and automated image analysis, supporting detailed statistical data export in multiple formats. These features, combined with energy-efficient operations and extensive material handling options, make the Qness M EVO series essential for quality control and R&D labs in metal processing and component manufacturing.
