About this product
The QATM QEYE 800 is a compact optical analyzer and inverse macroscope for fast, standard-compliant weld-seam inspection and macro analysis. An 8.5-megapixel 4K camera with 20× optical and 35× combined zoom, a wide 80×60 mm to 2.3×1.7 mm field of view, and Intelligent Area Illumination let you measure lengths, angles and areas on a specimen in seconds — driven by Qpix Control2, the same software as QATM hardness testers.
Why metallography and weld-QC labs choose the QEYE 800
Standard-compliant weld and macro measurement in one small, fast unit.
8.5 MP, 35× combined zoom
A 4K color camera with 20× optical plus digital zoom resolves the smallest weld detail while keeping the whole specimen in view — field of view 80×60 mm down to 2.3×1.7 mm.
Intelligent Area Illumination
Four LED profiles (left, right, front, rear) switch independently, so grinding reflections and stray light no longer disturb the measurement — faster, more precise inspection.
Weld inspection to DIN EN ISO 5817
Qpix Control2 includes the A-dimension, depth of burn-in, evaluation limits and a standard-compliant report — plus templates and the QATM standard catalog preinstalled.
One software with hardness testing
Macro analysis and hardness testing share Qpix Control2 on a single PC — live image, 3D SmartView and one uniform reporting system across your QATM line.
How Additive Plus supports it
A configured, installed analyzer with your inspection templates ready to run.

Step 03
Method & QC support
We help build the SOP — DIN EN ISO 5817 weld reports, macro templates and, where relevant, a shared hardness-and-macro workflow.

What is the QATM QEYE 800 used for?
The QEYE 800 is an optical analyzer and inverse macroscope for measuring and inspecting weld seams, solder joints and macro-sections directly on the specimen. It captures a high-resolution image and lets you measure lengths, angles, circles and polygons in seconds. It is widely used in steel construction, plant engineering and general materials testing where weld shape, penetration depth and defects must be assessed reliably.
Does the QEYE 800 support weld inspection to DIN EN ISO 5817?
Yes. The Qpix Control2 software includes the tools required for DIN EN ISO 5817 weld inspection as standard — the A-dimension, depth of burn-in, evaluation limits and a standard-compliant inspection report. Individual customer templates and the QATM standard catalog are preinstalled, so routine weld reports are fast and consistent.
What magnification and field of view does it offer?
The QEYE 800 uses an 8.5-megapixel 4K color camera with 20× optical zoom and 35× combined optical-plus-digital zoom. The field of view varies from 80×60 mm down to 2.3×1.7 mm, so you can keep the whole specimen in view or zoom to the smallest detail. Autofocus and brightness are automatic, and the focus plane can be adjusted manually for non-planar parts.
What is Intelligent Area Illumination?
Intelligent Area Illumination (IAI) is the QEYE's LED lighting system with four profiles — left, right, front and rear — that can be switched on or off individually and smoothly. This lets you light the specimen to suppress grinding reflections and stray light, which makes weld and macro measurements faster, more precise and more repeatable between operators.
Can it share software with a hardness tester?
Yes. The QEYE 800 runs on Qpix Control2, the same software as QATM hardness testers, so hardness testing and optical macro analysis run on one PC with a uniform reporting system, live image and 3D SmartView. If you already run a QATM hardness tester, the QEYE integrates into the same workflow rather than adding a separate software island.
What is included with the QEYE 800?
Every QEYE 800 ships with the shielding cover that eliminates stray light, and a 50 mm object micrometer (0.1 mm resolution) for verifying optical magnification. Borosilicate glass sample carriers with an anti-reflective coating are available in sets of five, optionally in tempered glass, and a UKAS-certified micrometer is available as an option. Additive Plus configures the templates and calibration for your work before delivery.
What is the lead time, and can Additive Plus set it up?
The QEYE 800 is configured to order; request a quote for the current lead time. Additive Plus is an authorized QATM channel and handles installation, object-micrometer calibration and operator training, then helps build your SOP — DIN EN ISO 5817 weld reports and macro templates. We can also pair it with QATM sample-prep and hardness testing for a complete metallography line. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
