Increasing numbers of hardness testing machines have a motor-driven Z-axis for nose cone infeed with subsequent clamping of the test specimen.

Thanks to the motorised test unit, the test area increases in size, while the operating height and compact dimensions remain the same. The resulting ergonomic benefits for the operator represent a significant advance in terms of working conditions. Moreover, hardness testers of this type are ideally suited for use with large and heavy test specimens.

The motorised Z-axis also enables optimum integration of these machines into fully automatic production systems, which means that they can be used for 100% tests. Of course, they can just as easily be deployed as standalone solutions.
