QNESS 60 A/A+ EVO
The Brinell / Knoop / Vickers hardness tester series Qness 60 EVO takes micro hardness testing to a whole new level: The high-end laboratory devices of the latest generation combine the best of both worlds – hardness testing and microscopy without compromise and with maximum operating convenience. The revolutionary optical system with color camera provides reproducible and reliable results every time.
The innovative „A“ model of this Brinell / Knoop / Vickers hardness tester promises perfect automation and comes with a high-precision positioning control for all three axis systems. Flexible XYZ progressions for thousands of analysis points allow for exceptionally high throughput without operator intervention.

VERTICAL CONCEPT WITH 2 Z-AXES
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.
AUTOMATED HARDNESS TESTING AND MICROSCOPY
It is now possible to execute all required quality assurance tasks with a previously unattained degree of convenience and time efficiency. The Brinell / Knoop / Vickers hardness testers can work through hundreds – even thousands – of test and analytical points in a fully automated, unmanned setting. The analytical functions have also been integrated in order to enable the operator working in a manual mode to analyze material properties with maximum efficiency, and to deliver the requested results smoothly and simply.
