Products

Portable, automatic and bench-top hardness testers, covering all hardness testing requirements, together with products that extend their functionalities such as indentation readers and case depth analyzers.

Automatic hardness tester Twin X

The TWIN-X is a fully automated Rockwell hardness tester, designed for seamless performance in Rockwell and Super Rockwell hardness testing. Capable of handling large workpieces up to 420 mm in height in its standard configuration, this advanced hardness tester is a game-changer for efficiency and productivity.

Equipped with an innovative spring system that surpasses traditional load cell systems, TWIN-X reduces each test cycle by up to 10 seconds. This translates to remarkable productivity gains, saving 12 minutes per hour, or nearly two hours every working day.

Designed to meet diverse hardness testing needs, TWIN-X boasts an impressive indenter stroke of up to 45 mm, enabling testing on varying thicknesses without any manual adjustments. Its clamping shield facilitates accurate testing of overhanging pieces without external support.

With a fully automated vertical-axis movement and load application system, TWIN-X streamlines the entire hardness testing process. Its built-in safety device retracts the indenter to protect against misaligned pieces or foreign objects.

Specially engineered for non-standard applications, TWIN-X offers high flexibility for custom configurations. The screw unit can be removed to accommodate larger parts like molds and castings, and a specialized version with a +500 mm stand is available for testing pieces up to 950 mm in height. Additionally, the detachable measuring head integrates seamlessly into production line control systems, enhancing versatility and efficiency.

Key benefits of TWIN-X include enhanced productivity, versatile application, and custom configurability for specialized tasks.
