QATM Macro Hardness Tester Qness 250 / 750 / 3000 E EVO

QATM Macro Hardness Tester Qness 250 / 750 / 3000 E EVO

A hardness tester for all purposes: no matter if operated in a laboratory or in a rough production environment.

The fixed component support and extra-large test table area allow hardness testing of even the largest components. In the “E” version, the test head is conveniently and dynamically controlled by the integrated asynchronous motor. Test pieces of virtually any size, weighing up to 3500 kg, are securely clamped in the device. The maximum test height is 510 mm.

Macro Hardness Tester E EVO

Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell or Vickers hardness testing? The sophisticated tool-changer concept with a rotational axis angle of 15° provides space for 8 tools in one uniquely compact unit. Downholder elements with a closed shape on three sides guarantee secure workpiece clamping around the test point – even for small test pieces.

Dynamic Height Adjustment qness e evo

Dynamic Height Adjustment

The dynamic height adjustment enables comfortable positioning control via potentiometer (8 mm/s). Using the 2-hand-safety device allows a moving speed of up to 17 mm/s (included with E variant).

Workpiece Recognition

Workpiece recognition with motorized height adjustment facilitates a high test head movement speed of 17 mm/s. Sensor technology enables the workpiece to be recognized and the bracing speed to be reduced accordingly to protect the device and workpiece.

Swiveling Downholder

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

SWIVEL-ACTION MACHINE TABLE qness e evo

SWIVEL-ACTION MACHINE TABLE

Unique operating convenience for large, awkwardly-shaped moulded and formed components and workpieces. The work table, optional with the M and E versions, can be tilted up to 5° – including built-in grips – no extra workpiece clamping necessary!

MAXIMUM CLAMPING SAFETY

High-performance induction motor in the E version facilitates a workpiece clamping force of up to 3500 kg. Clamping power is adapted to the test method and is automatically set to be greater than the test force. Operators do not need to set levels and can rely on the device to guarantee safe, optimized adaption.

ENLARGED TEST HEIGHT

If the 510mm height of the test room is still not enough for especially large, bulky or difficult-to-clamp items, on request QATM can provide an even taller machine frame. The robust steel frame can be produced in customized dimensions.
