Qness (QATM) hardness tester Version M EVO: Ideal for large samples

Swivel-action machine table

Unique operating convenience for large, awkwardly-shaped molded and formed components and workpieces. The work table, optional with the M and E versions, can be tilted up to 5° – including built-in grips – no extra workpiece clamping necessary!

Swiveling downholder

No long tool changeovers for inaccessible test positions. The downholder can be swivelled in and out via manual or motorized action, as required. Furthermore, the clamping elements can be changed easily and adapted to suit the customer‘s component.

Enlarged test height

If the 510mm height of the test room is still not enough for especially large, bulky or difficult-to-clamp items, on request QATM can provide an even taller machine frame. The robust steel frame can be produced in customized dimensions.

The optics system of the new EVO series has been completely redeveloped. It was built on site in the cleanroom at the QATM plant and benefits from the company’s comprehensive expertise. All the new devices share one universal microscope system covering all the necessary visual ranges between 0.1 mm and 8 mm in maximum clarity and contrast. The QATM system guarantees uniform illumination across the entire image, regardless of the degree of magnification, and without dark edges.

Reduced cycle times

The new EVO product line guarantees optimized test parameters, a faster Windows10 PC, much shorter serial autofocus times, significantly faster regulation of brightness and image evaluation, all of which contributes to far more rapid cycle completion times in everyday hardness testing – with even quieter operating noises.

XLED Brinell evaluation lenses

XLED illumination modules revolutionize the analysis of Brinell indentations. Due to beading on commercially available lenses, soft Brinell indentations in particular can be subject to imprecise gauging results. In contrast, XLED lenses guarantee precise and repeatable measurements, regardless of material type and hardness, due to direct and wide-extension illumination.

Ethernet industrial cameras

High-quality CMOS 5-megapixel cameras with Ethernet data transfer define the current industrial standard. Unlike other camera systems, a far higher transmission stability is possible here. Additionally, the PC and hardness testing device can be set up remotely at great distances from each other. This is ideal in manufacturing environments in which the control infrastructure is installed in external switch cabinets.

Freely adjustable operating display

The 12” ultra-flat, capacitive touch display can be raised, lowered and tilted smoothly via ball-and-socket joints for ergonomically optimized use.

Optimized test head design

A range of clamping and holding elements can be configured to suit tooling requirements. The optional transparent collision guard can protect tools on the device from damage while ensuring an unrestricted view of the test cell interior.

Multi-touch capacity & full screen mode

• Modern multi-touch operation for simple zooming and easy menu navigation.
• A clear overview of all the most important functions on one screen guarantees user-friendliness and, most importantly, ensures test results are clearly prioritized.

Data administration

• Numerous statistical functions: Bar graphs, line graphs, histogrammes
• Export test results as XML or CSV file
• Detailed normed information on each indentation
• Test report as Excel, Word, PDF or direct print
• Automatic export and deleting functions for serial operation

Software QPIX T2

• Simple operation
• Fully automatic image analysis via ring light in light or dark field process
• 4 zoom steps as standard reduces lense changeovers
