Robust expertise

This universal hardness tester has an excellent price-performance ratio and can be used for classical hardness testing methods on metals and plastics (0.5 to 250 kg). Outstanding features include above-average test area size, measurement free from parallax error (thanks to a measurement grid integrated into the screen optics), a fully automated test sequence and a highly accurate closed-loop drive system, together with excellent depth of field.
