Our Hardness Testi Machine portfolio delivers precise, repeatable hardness measurements on metals, plastics, and rubber using Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, Brinell, and Shore methods. The systems pair rigid mechanics with stable load application and intuitive software, supporting R&D, production, and quality control.
Closed-loop force control and rigid frames provide fast cycles and consistent HR scales for shop-floor and lab use. Optional automation handles part detection, dwell timing, and data logging.
Supports HRA, HRB, HRC, HRD, and HRE–HRK with test forces from 15 to 150 kgf. Interchangeable anvils fit flat, cylindrical, and irregular parts.
High-resolution optics and stable loads from 10 g to 2 kg (micro) and higher for macro deliver repeatable HV/HK results on thin sections and fine microstructures. Automated indent measurement and staged loads speed case-depth profiling.
Motorized turrets, long-life LEDs, multiple objectives, and camera imaging pair with precise loads (10 g–2 kg micro; up to 100 kgf macro) for delicate and robust samples.
Accurate dwell control with 2.5/5/10 mm carbide balls and forces up to 3000 kgf ensures stable HBW values on castings and forgings. Optional optical measurement and large throat depths support bulky components.
Camera-based reading reduces operator influence. Automated loading and reading improve consistency and daily throughput.
One system performs Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, and Brinell with automated indenter/objective changes. Software guides method selection, verification, and reporting.
Digital Shore A/D instruments with constant-pressure foot design and controlled timing deliver repeatable readings per ASTM D2240 and ISO 868. Fixtures accommodate small, curved, or thin samples.
Low-load Vickers/Knoop configurations quantify hardness on coatings, films, and micro-molded parts with minimal damage and high spatial resolution.
In-house machining supports tight tolerances and rigid frames. Closed-loop force and high-resolution displacement/optical sensing produce consistent indentations across shifts.
Methods align with ISO 6508/6507/6506, ASTM E18/E384/E10, and JIS equivalents. Built-in verification routines and certified test blocks help maintain traceability.
Touchscreen guidance, method presets, barcode part ID, and automated turrets reduce training time and operator influence.
Robust load frames, overload protection, and safety interlocks support accuracy in continuous production.
From 10 g micro loads to 3000 kgf macro forces, with measurement uncertainty aligned to method tolerances.
Diamond (Rockwell/Vickers/Knoop) and carbide balls (Brinell), plus flat, V-shaped, and specialized anvils. Custom fixtures for gears, wires, thin sheets, and irregular shapes.
High-NA objectives, telecentric lenses, HD cameras, and long-life LEDs improve edge detection on challenging surfaces.
Method libraries, pass/fail rules, SPC charts, multi-language interfaces, and data export via USB/Ethernet support digital traceability and integration.
Evaluate heat treatment, case depth, and alloy quality on steels, aluminum, copper alloys, and cast irons.
Shore A/D and micro-indentation assess molded parts, seals, films, and fiber-reinforced components.
Micro Vickers/Knoop quantify thin-film hardness on coatings, PCB substrates, and precision parts.
Workholding and workflow templates for specific standards or multi-step cycles streamline daily testing.
Each unit is calibrated with traceable records and arrives ready for qualification.
On-site or remote commissioning, operator training, preventive maintenance, and responsive support help maximize uptime.
ISO9001 processes and precision machining support consistency and customization.

Q: Which method should I choose?
A: Rockwell for fast metals testing, Vickers/Knoop for microstructures and thin layers, Brinell for coarse-grain or cast materials, Shore A/D for plastics and rubber.
Q: How do I ensure accurate, repeatable results?
A: Verify with certified test blocks, control dwell time, maintain indenters and optics, and use closed-loop force application.
Q: Can one system cover multiple methods?
A: A universal platform with automated indenter/objective changes and method libraries can perform Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, and Knoop.
Q: What maintenance is recommended?
A: Regular verification, optics cleaning, alignment checks, and planned preventive maintenance help maintain performance.
Integrate hardness testing with pre-conditioning and post-test analysis using environmental chambers, tensile and impact testing, DSC, and TGA to build complete material profiles and correlate hardness with strength and thermal behavior.
