• Automatic XYZ test progression for different sample heights
• Base cabinet and safety fully integrated into machine design
• Maximum clamping safety due to fix or swiveling downholder
• Excellent image quality
• Qpix Control2 Software with intuitive 3D control elements
• Variant A+ only: Sample image camera with automatic image acquisition

Test Methods & Force Range

Integrated conversions
DIN EN ISO 18265, DIN EN ISO 50150, ASTM E-140

Fully automated 3-Axis Control

Fully automatic and robust XY slide with high-precision positioning drive. Dynamic joystick to control all 3 axes (XYZ). Usable support surface 450 x 300 mm or, on request, larger travels and test tables available.

Different Test Heights

For each XY test point position the Z height can be individually selected. During automatic testing, the machine changes between specimens of different height or different test levels safely and fully automatically. Thanks to the innovative CAS technology, the unit is protected against collisions. When testing clamped samples, the patented QATM “workpiece recognition” reduces the approach speed of the test head automatically via sensor detection (preserves machine and sample).

Maximum Clamping Safety

High-performance induction motor in the A/A+ version facilitates a workpiece clamping force of up to 3.200 kg. Clamping power is adapted to the test method and is automatically set to be greater than the test force. Operators do not need to set levels and can rely on the hardness tester to guarantee safe, optimized adaption.

Electric Swiveling Downholder

Qness 250 A/A+ EVO-Version only: For hardness tests according to Rockwell or Brinell, parts securely fixed with the downholder are indispensable. For general processes, such as edge recognition or during the programming of test samples, however, the downholder is not required. Hence, the downholder clamp can be swivelled in or out by motor in a matter of seconds between different processes in the innovative EVO system. This improves operating convenience and further reduces cycle times.

Identical Sample Tests

An entire range of relevant data, such as test patterns, test methods and user fields can be activated via pre-defined sample magazines. QATM can provide the most suitable clamping setup, matrices and cassette systems for every requirement.
