VICKERS & KNOOP – Hardness Testers

Tinius Olsen offers solutions for your Vickers and Knoop testing needs. Whether micro or macro Vickers, manual or automated requirements, Tinius Olsen has systems that can be configured to meet your needs.

With the latest generation of hardness instruments we offer improvements over nearly every conventional method. Current designs are focused on eliminating user influence, efficiency and ease of use.

The model Evotech 2030 Micro Vickers, Vickers, Knoop Hardness testing machines is a new generation of instrument, improving conventional hardness testing methods and focused on eliminating user influence on the test results. The unique force actuator system utilizes an electronically controlled closed loop system and advanced force sensor technology, with force feedback to achieve absolute accuracy, reliability and repeatability, on each of the forces used for a test. Besides this advanced electromechanical force application system, this model offers superior quality mechanical and optical components, used to complete the instrument.

Features and Benefits

  • Load cell, closed loop, force control
  • Configured load range 1gf-62.5kgf (0.01-613N)*
  • Meets or exceeds ISO, ASTM and JIS standards
  • Smart touch workflow control
  • Auto brightness and contrast
  • Rapid up/down control
