Hardness Testi Machine for Industrial Manufacturers and Quality Labs


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.



Models and Test Methods


Rockwell Testers


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.


Typical Rockwell ranges and scales


Supports HRA, HRB, HRC, HRD, and HRE–HRK with test forces from 15 to 150 kgf. Interchangeable anvils fit flat, cylindrical, and irregular parts.



Vickers/Knoop (Micro/Macro)


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.


Optics and load ranges


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.



Brinell Testers


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.


Indent measurement and throughput


Camera-based reading reduces operator influence. Automated loading and reading improve consistency and daily throughput.



Universal Hardness Platform


One system performs Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, and Brinell with automated indenter/objective changes. Software guides method selection, verification, and reporting.



Solutions for Polymers and Elastomers


Shore hardness testers


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.


Micro-indentation for thin coatings and films


Low-load Vickers/Knoop configurations quantify hardness on coatings, films, and micro-molded parts with minimal damage and high spatial resolution.



Core Features


Precision, stability, and repeatability


In-house machining supports tight tolerances and rigid frames. Closed-loop force and high-resolution displacement/optical sensing produce consistent indentations across shifts.


Standards compliance


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.


Automation and ease of use


Touchscreen guidance, method presets, barcode part ID, and automated turrets reduce training time and operator influence.


Construction and safety


Robust load frames, overload protection, and safety interlocks support accuracy in continuous production.



Specifications and Options


Load ranges and accuracy


From 10 g micro loads to 3000 kgf macro forces, with measurement uncertainty aligned to method tolerances.


Indenters, anvils, and fixtures


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.


Optics and illumination


High-NA objectives, telecentric lenses, HD cameras, and long-life LEDs improve edge detection on challenging surfaces.


Software and connectivity


Method libraries, pass/fail rules, SPC charts, multi-language interfaces, and data export via USB/Ethernet support digital traceability and integration.



Applications and Industries


Metals and alloys


Evaluate heat treatment, case depth, and alloy quality on steels, aluminum, copper alloys, and cast irons.


Plastics, rubber, and composites


Shore A/D and micro-indentation assess molded parts, seals, films, and fiber-reinforced components.


Coatings and electronics


Micro Vickers/Knoop quantify thin-film hardness on coatings, PCB substrates, and precision parts.



Customization and Lifecycle Support


Custom fixtures and workflows


Workholding and workflow templates for specific standards or multi-step cycles streamline daily testing.


Factory calibration and verification


Each unit is calibrated with traceable records and arrives ready for qualification.


Installation, training, and service


On-site or remote commissioning, operator training, preventive maintenance, and responsive support help maximize uptime.

FAQs about Hardness Testing


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.



Category-Specific Unique Information


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.
