Measures Macro Hardness in Industrial Materials
The Qness 200 CSA+ from ATM Qness GmbH is a fully automated macro hardness tester designed to offer precise measurement capabilities. It features a robust welded steel frame, ensuring durability under demanding industrial conditions. This equipment is equipped with an advanced optical system and a color camera for reliable, reproducible results, ideal for industries like automotive, aerospace, and metallurgy.
The Qness 200 CSA+ operates via an automatic XY slide system, allowing high precision in repeated and progression tests. It supports a wide test force range from 0.5 kg to 187.5 kg, employing electronic force application and closed-loop control for accuracy. Integrated with Qpix Control 2 software, it facilitates seamless operation, offering features like automatic height adjustment and contactless exploration.
Applications include testing steel alloys, titanium aerospace parts, and engineered components such as gear teeth and welded seams. The system’s flexibility makes it suitable for testing in quality control departments and R&D laboratories. Its 5-position tool changer and rapid indenter change mechanism streamline operations, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Energy efficiency is enhanced through a high-performance induction motor that optimizes workpiece clamping, while material options ensure versatility in test environments. The Qness 200 CSA+ guarantees precise hardness evaluation, crucial for maintaining material integrity in heat-treated and mechanical components.
