All QATM hardness testers with QpixControl2 and QpixT2 software seamlessly integrate into the Verder Scientific IoT platform, providing enhanced functionality and seamless connectivity.
The QATM-developed, in-house manufactured lens system sets new standards. As well as providing crystal clear image quality for hardness testing, Koehler illumination uses white LED light and motor-operated aperture shuttering to produce ideal contrast, even for high magnification images.
Experienced metallurgists agree the image quality provided by the Qness 10 / 60 M is comparable in all aspects with that of established sophisticated microscopes. The up-to-date concept and new lenses in the optic system enable the device to completely meet even the strictest physical ‘test system definition’ requirements in compliance with DIN EN ISO6507-1/2:2018.
Er zijn doorslaggevende voordelen bij het verdelen van verticale bewegingen over 2 assen. Via de eerste Z-as is er dynamische bewegingscontrole, waardoor de indenter snel en gemakkelijk naar het testoppervlak kan worden gepositioneerd met een snelheid tot 30 mm / s. De extra tweede Z-as in het QATM-systeem biedt een positioneringssysteem met hoge resolutie voor grotere precisie bij het uitoefenen van kracht en focussering.
Op de ultramoderne revolver van de Vickers / Knoop / Brinell hardheidsmeter kunnen tot 8 verschillende testdiamanten of lenzen worden gemonteerd. De compacte structuur heeft een hoek van 20° om een uitstekende zichtbaarheid in de meetruimte te garanderen.
Blikvanger: de nieuw ontwikkelde hardheidstestmodules dienen als modulaire indenter-houders waardoor plug-and-play retrofit van Brinell- en Knoop-testapparatuur op elk moment na levering mogelijk is.
In addition to the Vickers, Knoop and Brinell optical methods, Rockwell measurements can now also be carried out with the new micro hardness testers. A special Rockwell test module has been developed for this purpose.
Innovatief systeem ter vermijding van botsingen (Collision Avoiding System = CAS) voorkomt op basis van voorspellende 3D bewegingsberekeningendat de mechanische componenten met elkaar in contact komen omwille van bedieningsfouten.
De digitale schuifmaat is compatibel met het Qpix Control2-systeem en leest de afmetingen, hoogte en diameter van componenten draadloos en met een druk op de knop in de software in. Met de hoogteregeling van de testkop in A- en A + -versies kan de testhoogte volledig automatisch worden bekomen zonder handmatige invoer.
QATM sample holders are designed to ensure accuracy and repeatability. In combination with the digital slide and data feedback, the machine produces perfect measurement readings
The Qpix Control2 M-Version of the intuitively-operated software is included with the Qness 10/60 M to provide sophisticated functionality tailored to the requirements of semi-automatic hardness testing devices. Clearly organized batch management and the effective use of templates from a broad span of testing projects, test result structuring and a complete range of background project information. The easily-generated templates include all the required information on test patterns, test methods, item names and user field details.
Maakt seriële voorprogrammatie van testprogramma's mogelijk met een vast aantal meetpunten. Indien gewenst, ook met een manuele slede, digitale micrometer regelschroef en positie-terugkeer – zoals gebruikt voor manuele CHD progressies.
Unsurpassed in single-piece testing and limited series tests on items of all sizes: Simple operability and optional additions for microscopy make QATM Qness 10/60 M a unique, high-quality, all-round package.
Optimized testing parameters and shorter intervals for serial autofocus, brightness regulation and image analysis, facilitate unbeatable cycle times during everyday operation involving hardness testing devices of the new micro hardness tester product line; and it’s even faster than the previous model. A further benefit of the new machine concept is the emphasis on reduced noise emissions in operation and motion, making it particularly suitable for laboratory work.
Verschillende tijdssparende mogelijkheden zijn reeds in het QATM basis model opgenomen:
The adjustable surface indentation recognition function reduces the required eff ort of sample preparation for testing the hardness of non-optimum surfaces. Hence, automatic indentation recognition is also possible on critical surfaces (etching, grinding...).
The illuminated QATM logo displays the current device status at a glance. The range of flash intervals indicates whether the device is operating automatically or is free to be used for new tasks for staff all around the lab. Furthermore, not only does the LED test space lighting, installed as standard, allow samples and sample holders to be set up correctly, in the M version it guarantees uniform light intensity for working area.
Het veilig vastklemmen van monsters dankzij een herontworpen houder met een ingebouwde klemkrachtbegrenzer, vereenvoudigt het centreren en positioneren van het monster. Een plaat met een kogelgewricht klemt zelfs een preparaat vast dat niet plat kan worden gehouden om kantelen of verschuiven tijdens de analyse te voorkomen. Verkrijgbaar met 1, 4 of 8 houdposities en adapterringen voor een groot aantal metrische en imperiale monsterdiameters.
Components of almost all geometrical shapes can be fitted into the universal sample holder. Four clamping bolts can be set variably in various T-slots.
QATM is the right stop for advice on complex requirements and clamping devices! It would be our pleasure to advise, devise, customize and implement a solution for you. Only the right component clamping solution can guarantee reliable results.

Based on the selected method (e.g. HV10), the suitable hardness range is displayed for each lens, which can be measured. The most suitable lens is also highlighted.
With the Qpix Control 2 software, several QATM devices (for example a Qeye 800 and a Qness 60 A+ EVO) can be operated with the same PC system. It is easy to switch back and forth between the two devices in the software.
Qpix software platforms support barcode and QR code readers. Whether simply inserting header files (serial), managing the complete integration of reading devices for the automatic selection of templates, or calling up data from superordinate systems (optional) – barcode/QR code readers simplify work procedures for the tester, while also preventing operating errors.
The intuitive and user-friendly Qpix INSPECT software functionality provides a comprehensive toolbox for microscopic evaluations and result documentation. The multifunctional software can be customized for customer-specific measuring tasks and complemented with add-on modules.
