Key features
One for all levels
You have alternating operators at one machine? The fully automatic version with auto-focus limits the operator influence and delivers repeatable and reproducible test results. Just press start & leave the rest to your testing system.
Load cell technology
With an integrated load cell the hardness tester performs according to a wide range of ISO / ASTM Standards with "closed loop" control. Results are therefore not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment, or vibration (no overshoot). It is further designed for easy testing of e.g. CHD traverses as well as high-sophisticated patterns.
Turn it into a microscope
Profit from the powerful Clemex software for image analysis and turn your hardness tester into a microscope! Just upgrade the software and easily analyze the microstructure of your sample with the camera of your hardness tester. Contact our experts for further information.
