FEATURES

Ultimate ease of use with 5 megapixel colour camera for recording the entire sample for a perfect overview and documentation in the protocol. As standard, hardness tester versions CA+ and A+ record the entire table surface as sample image.

Qness 250 A/A+ EVO-Version only: For hardness tests according to Rockwell or Brinell, parts securely fixed with the downholder are indispensable. For general processes, such as edge recognition or during the programming of test samples, however, the downholder is not required. Hence, the downholder clamp can be swivelled in or out by motor in a matter of seconds between different processes in the innovative EVO system. This improves operating convenience and further reduces cycle times.

For each XY test point position the Z height can be individually selected. During automatic testing, the machine changes between specimens of different height or different test levels safely and fully automatically. Thanks to the innovative CAS technology, the unit is protected against collisions. When testing clamped samples, the patented QATM “workpiece recognition” reduces the approach speed of the test head automatically via sensor detection (preserves machine and sample).

Fully automatic and robust XY slide with high-precision positioning drive. Dynamic joystick to control all 3 axes (XYZ). Usable support surface 450 x 300 mm or, on request, larger travels and test tables available.

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.

The optics system has been completely redeveloped. It was built on site in the cleanroom at the QATM plant and benefits from the company’s comprehensive expertise. All the new devices share one universal microscope system covering all the necessary visual ranges between 0.1 mm and 8 mm in maximum clarity and contrast. The QATM system guarantees uniform illumination across the entire image, regardless of the degree of magnification, and without dark edges.

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.

High-performance induction motor in the A/A+ version facilitates a workpiece clamping force of up to 3.200 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 hardness tester to guarantee safe, optimized adaption.

An entire range of relevant data, such as test patterns, test methods and user fields can be activated via pre-defined sample magazines. QATM can provide the most suitable clamping setup, matrices and cassette systems for every requirement.

Switchable industrial magnets enable power- and time-saving loading and unloading of the test system and, at the same time, guarantee a secure hold during the test. In addition, all QATM fixtures can be equipped with a sample holder recognition: via integrated sensors, the fixture is automatically recognized by the testing device and only the appropriate test programs are loaded.

QNESS 250 / QNESS 750 / QNESS 3000 E EVO

Alena Kalininskaya — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 10:04:43 +0000

FEATURES

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!

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.

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.

The new EVO product line guarantees optimized test parameters, a faster Windows 10 PC, much shorter serial autofocus times, significantly faster regulation of brightness and image evaluation, all of which contributes to far more rapid cycle completion times in everyday hardness testing – with even quieter operating noises.

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.

The 12” ultra-flat, capacitive touch display can be raised, lowered and tilted smoothly via ball-and-socket joints for ergonomically optimized use.

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.
