MICRO HARDNESS TESTER QNESS 60 A/A+ EVO

HARDNESS TESTER OR MICROSCOPE? BOTH

  

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. The color-corrected high-quality lens series is used for structural analysis. There are also two camera systems to choose from. Experienced metallurgists agree the image quality provided by the Qness 60 EVO 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.

 

AUTOMATED HARDNESS TESTING AND MICROSCOPY

It is now possible to execute all required quality assurance tasks with a previously unattained degree of convenience and time efficiency. The QATM Qness 60A and A+ EVO devices can work through hundreds – even thousands – of test and analytical points in a fully automated, unmanned setting. The analytical functions have also been integrated in order to enable the operator working in a manual mode to analyze sample properties with maximum efficiency, and to deliver the requested results smoothly and simply.

 

INTERACTIVE TEST SOFTWARE FOR ALL VERSIONS

Qpix Control2 is pioneering the ultra-modern software operation of hardness testing equipment and has been expanded to include intelligent measurement tools for lengths and angles. It’s ideal for establishing templates, and now also for the testing of welds (A/A+ models). In addition, the optional INSPECT software modules can be seamlessly integrated into the overall operating infrastructure:

  • Phase analysis
  • Layer thickness measurement
  • Grain size evaluation

MICRO HARDNESS TESTER QNESS 60 A/A+ EVO

PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY - UNIQUE IMPLEMENTATION

  

EXACT POSITIONING AND A LARGE TEST SPACE

All 3 axes are equipped with the direct, optical path measuring system as standard. The axes and turret can be positioned to an accuracy of 1.5 μm, so even thin layers, or special testing or analytical coordinates, can be repeatedly and accurately approached.

 

DIFFERENT TEST HEIGHTS

The unique construction of the highly-dynamic tool changer turret allows the positioning of test pieces at various heights within the test area. Innovative CAS technology protects the unit from collisions.

 

OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE AND SILENCED DESIGN

Optimized testing parameters and shorter intervals for serial autofocus, brightness regulation and image analysis, facilitate unbeatable cycle times during everyday operation involving hardness testing devices of the new EVO product line; and it’s even faster than the previous model. A further benefit of the new machine concept is the emphasis on reduced noise emissions in operation and motion, making it particularly suitable for laboratory work.

  

IPC TECHNOLOGY / RATATABLE INDENTER

IPC – ‘Indenter Parallel to Contour’ (optional)
The operator can select the route and points for the Knoop indenter along each contour, either manually, via the software setting, or fully automatically. The compact indenter unit with a built-in rotation drive facilitates fully automated hardness testing in layers or along the edge of the workpiece.

 

EMBEDDED SAMPLES

The secure clamping of samples thanks to a redesigned sample holder with a built-in clamping force limiter, simplifies sample centering and positioning. A sample plate with a ball-joint even clamps samples that cannot be held flat to prevent them tilting or sliding during testing. Available with 1, 4 or 8 sample-holding positions and adapter rings for a large range of metric and imperial sample diameters.

 

SAMPLE IMAGE CAMERA

It’s no coincidence that most QATM customers choose the ‘A+’ version with a built-in sample image camera. In a few seconds the image of the sample is shot with the additional camera (field of view 49 x 37 mm). The image provides excellent navigational support within the software, particularly in combination with DOUBLE-VIEW TECHNOLOGY, and aids enhanced documentation in the automatically compiled test report. ‘A’-version devices can also be upgraded to ‘A+’ versions by equipping them with the second camera system at a later date.

MICRO HARDNESS TESTER QNESS 60 A/A+ EVO

APPLICATIONS - PRACTICAL

  

TOOTH FLANK TESTING

The time-consuming creation of test points, especially with tooth flank testing, is minimized by means of pre-defined test templates. The Qness 60 A+ enables the entire normed procedure between HV30 and HV1 to be done by one single device.

 

TEMPLATE FUNCTION

  • Ideal for repeated tests / components
  • Alignment of ‘test point mappings’ directly on the work piece with reference lines and bench marks
  • Test point and analysis patterns without ‘fixed stop’ or sample holder
  • The sample image can be used in a clearly-structured test report
 

WELD SAMPLE TESTING AND ANALYSIS

Serial provision of ‘Advanced Welding’ functions facilitates the simple, norm-compliant (e.g. EN ISO 9015 & EN ISO 22826) integration of test mapping for hardness testing. Pre-defined patterns can be simply adapted to each respective test piece via interactive functions. If required, Qpix INSPECT modules can also provide a simultaneous material-graphics analysis of the weld seam.

OPERATION VIA EXTERNAL PC-SYSTEM

REVOLUTIONARY 3D OPERATING CONCEPT

Intuitive, clearly organized and professional: Qpix Control2 next-generation hardness testing software, developed based on customer feedback and input for maximum user-friendliness. The controlled test head benefits from automatic height adjustment and contactless exploration, complete integration of the Qness sample holder, CAD compatibility with 3D imaging and a whole range of easily understood 3D control elements and views included in the software. It sets new standards in hardness testing.

 

CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC SAMPLE HOLDER

Identical samples can be set up in the software in scale as a 3D model

 

CAS TECHNOLOGY

Innovative Collision Avoiding System (CAS) technology protects the mechanical parts in the device using predictive 3D motion calculations to visualize the effects of collisions and operation errors.

LOAD SAMPLE, LOAD ROW, START

3 STEPS TO THE RESULT

  

1. LOAD SAMPLE

The machine moves automatically to sample holder height. Image of sample is taken automatically.

 

2. LOAD ROW
