Qness 60 A+ EVO

The Vickers / Knoop / Brinell / Rockwell hardness tester series Qness 60 EVO 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 innovative „EVO“ model of this Vickers / Knoop / Brinell / Rockwell hardness tester promises perfect automation and comes with a high-precision positioning control for all three axis systems with glass scales.

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.
