Why Choose This Model

Reduces manual turret handling

Motorized objective and indenter switching removes a repetitive manual step and keeps routine test setup more consistent.

Camera-based measurement reduces variation

DeXel-Hard measures the indentation image and retains the result for day-to-day reporting.

Suitable for production QC

A practical bridge for laboratories that need better operator productivity without moving directly to a fully automatic system.

Typical Applications

Routine Production Labs

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.

Case Depth

Manual indent placement along a prepared cross-section records the case-depth hardness profile.

Heat Treatment

Helps assess hardness response after heat treatment on correctly prepared and supported specimens.

Automotive

Suited to routine hardness checks on prepared production components and sectioned parts.

Gear Industry

Suited to routine hardness checks on prepared production components and sectioned parts.

Welds

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.

Coatings

A practical application for routine Vickers or Knoop measurement on properly prepared samples.
