The QATM Qness 200 CS is a compact, fully automated macro hardness tester designed for fast and precise hardness testing of small to medium-sized components. It supports Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, and plastics hardness testing with test forces from 0.5 to 187.5 kg, featuring a 5-position turret, high-resolution depth measurement, and intuitive Qpix T2 software. Its robust construction, advanced optics, and Industry 4.0 connectivity make it ideal for quality control, production, and laboratory applications.
During the development of the Qness 200 units, particular attention was paid to the following things: Maximum performance with minimum effort. The proven concept with fixed test head and movable spindle, as well as its compactness give the Qness 200 CS its name, the precision-manufactured fivefold turret its speed. With a test height of up to 250mm and a projection of 238mm, the Qness 200 is ideally suited for small to medium-sized parts.

Unmatched in its class! We know how important a long-serving superior-quality device can be and guarantee excellent quality from our Qness 200 CS/CSA+ series. Developed and manufactured in Austria!

XLED illumination modules revolutionize the analysis of Brinell indentations. Due to beading on commercially available lenses, soft Brinell indentations in particular can be subject to imprecise gauging results. In contrast, XLED lenses guarantee precise and repeatable measurements, regardless of material type and hardness, due to direct and wide-extension illumination.

No long tool changeovers for inaccessible test positions. The downholder can be swiveled in and out via manual action. Furthermore, the clamping elements can be changed easily and adapted to suit the customer’s component.

High-quality CMOS 5-megapixel cameras with Ethernet data transfer define the current industrial standard. Unlike other camera systems, a far higher transmission stability is possible here. Additionally, the PC and hardness testing device can be set up remotely at great distances from each other. This is ideal in manufacturing environments in which the control infrastructure is installed in external switch cabinets.

A range of clamping and holding elements can be configured to suit tooling requirements. The optional transparent collision guard can protect tools on the device from damage while ensuring an unrestricted view of the test cell interior.

Height adjustment via stable, ultra-precise roller-bearing spindle guide. Solid, no-maintenance structure. All devices are available with a Ø 25 mm table mount (optional ¾” adapter available) facilitating the use of a wide range of test tables and devices.

Uniquely simple, tool-free indenter changes due to indenter quick-release mechanism.
