QATM Qness 10 / 60 M – semi-automatic microhardness tester
Applications
For laboratories that need precise micro/macrohardness testing of single parts and small series with manual specimen positioning but automatic Z axis, focusing and indentation evaluation. In addition – metallographic microscopy (phase analysis, grain size, layer thickness).
