The Vickers / Knoop / Brinell / Rockwell hardness tester series Qness 10 / 60 takes micro hardness testing to a whole new level: The high-end laboratory devices of the latest generation combine the best of both worlds – hardness testing and microscopy without compromise and with maximum operating convenience. The revolutionary optical system with color camera provides reproducible and reliable results every time.
The classic „Qness 10 / 60 A+” model of this Vickers / Knoop / Brinell / Rockwell hardness tester promises perfect automation and comes with a precision positioning control for all three axis systems. Flexible XYZ progressions for thousands of analysis points allow for exceptionally high throughput without operator intervention.
QATM micro hardness testers seamlessly integrate with the Verder Scientific IoT platform, featuring remote real-time monitoring, live notifications, effortless backups and automatic software updates.

Revolutionary optic system
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 A+ 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.
