Qness 250 / 750 / 3000 M EVO

Category: Brand:

The fixed component support and the extra-large test table area of the “M” version allow hardness testing of even the largest components.

The test head is moved manually by turning the hand wheel on the front of the machine.

The bearing of the test head is designed for particularly smooth running and allows operation with minimum effort. The maximum test height is 510 mm

LARGE-SCALE UNIVERSALITY Unique Instrument Features

SWIVEL-ACTION MACHINE TABLE

Unique operating convenience for large, awkwardly-shaped moulded 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.

HIGHLY ACCURATE RESULTS IN ULTRA-SHORT TIME

Excellent image quality

The optics system 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 Windows 10 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.

UNLIMITED SUITABILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

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 tester 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.

Qpix T2 full screen mode Clear focus on essentials

Result Overview
