FEATURES










All devices are equipped with the new LED work space lighting: Simplified positioning of samples for single-piece tests.
There are decisive benefits in distributing vertical movement across 2 axes. Via the first Z-axis there is dynamic motion control, allowing the indenter to be positioned towards the test surface quickly and conveniently at up to 30mm/s. The additional second Z-axis in the QATM system offers a high-resolution positioning system for greater precision in force application and focusing.
Up to 8 different test diamonds or lenses can be mounted to the ultra-modern turret of the Vickers / Knoop / Brinell hardness tester. The compact structure is angled at 20° to guarantee excellent test room visibility.
The newly developed hardness testing modules serve as modular indenter holders enabling plug-and-play retrofitting of Brinell and Knoop test equipment at any time after delivery.
In addition to the Vickers, Knoop and Brinell optical methods, Rockwell measurements can now also be carried out with the new micro hardness testers. A special Rockwell test module has been developed for this purpose.
The digital caliper is compatible with the Qpix Control2 system and reads the dimensions, height and diameter of components wirelessly and at the push of a button, entering them into the software. The test head height control in the A+ hardness tester enables the test height to be reached completely automatically with no need for manual input.

Enables serial predefinition of test programs with fixed numbers of test points. If required, also with a manual slide, digital micrometer spindle and positional return – as used for manual CHD progressions.
Unsurpassed in single-piece testing and limited series tests on items of all sizes: Simple operability and optional additions for microscopy make QATM Qness 10/60 M a unique, high-quality, all-round package.
Optimized testing parameters and shorter intervals for serial autofocus, brightness regulation and image analysis, facilitate unbeatable cycle times during everyday operation involving hardness testing devices of the new micro hardness tester product line; and it’s even faster than the previous model. A further benefit of the new machine concept is the emphasis on reduced noise emissions in operation and motion, making it particularly suitable for laboratory work.
Several labour-saving features are already included in the QATM base model:
• Optimized autofocus system
• Automatic brightness regulation
• Automatic image evaluation for hardness testing with multiple evaluation modes
The Qpix Control2 M-Version of the intuitively-operated software is included with the Qness 10/60 M to provide sophisticated functionality tailored to the requirements of semi-automatic hardness testing devices. Clearly organized batch management and the effective use of templates from a broad span of testing projects, test result structuring and a complete range of background project information. The easily-generated templates include all the required information on test patterns, test methods, item names and user field details.
