QATM Qness 200 CSA+ Macro Hardness Tester – Vickers/Brinell/Rockwell | 0.5–187.5 kgf
The QATM Qness 200 CSA+ is a fully automated C-frame macro hardness tester that runs Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell across a 0.5 – 187.5 kgf (4.9 – 1839 N) force range, pairing electronic force application with an automatic XY stage, XLED Brinell optics and a full-table sample image camera.
Why metrology labs choose the Qness 200 CSA+
Three macro methods, an automatic stage and full-table imaging on one certifiable C-frame.
Wide macro force range
0.5 to 187.5 kgf (4.9 – 1839 N) under electronic force application — macro Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell on a single C-frame, with no test weights to hang or swap.
Three methods, one frame
Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell with a tool-free indenter quick-release for fast method changes. XLED Brinell lenses give precise, repeatable readings on soft indentations regardless of material.
Automatic XY stage
The CSA+ automatic XY slide with high-precision positioning drive runs extensive test series and hardness curves. Traverse X 220 / Y 220 mm over a 180 × 200 mm table, driven by a 3-axis joystick.
Full-table camera and optics
A 5 MP Ethernet industrial camera reads indentations; the CSA+ sample image camera records the entire table for overview and reporting. XLED2 to 100x lenses cover 4.24 × 3.18 mm down to 0.113 × 0.084 mm fields.
How Additive Plus delivers it
Configured to your standards, installed and calibrated on-site, supported by engineers who run metallography daily.
Configure to your lab
We spec the frame — Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell modules, XLED and objective lenses, clamping and sample holders, and the Qpix Control 2 license — around the parts and standards you test.
Install & train on-site
Factory-trained engineers install the system, verify calibration against certified reference blocks per ISO 6506 / ISO 6508 / ISO 6507 and ASTM E10 / E18 / E384, and train your operators on Qpix Control 2.
Validated & supported
You leave with a tester that reproduces reference blocks in spec, DAkkS-traceable indenters in the box, and method support with a sub-24h engineer response.
Where the Qness 200 CSA+ earns its place
Automated macro hardness and imaging for QC labs, metallography and AM materials work.
