Clemex CMT Load Cell Hardness Tester

The Clemex CMT LC Hardness Tester combines two worlds: hardness testing and microscopy.

The integrated load cell features the full micro range of Vickers and Knoop test loads from 1 gf up to 62.5 kgf for small Brinell hardness testing.

Controlled by the Clemex CMT software you can easily upgrade to Clemex Vision and turn your hardness test into a microscope: profit from the powerful image analysis software and analyze e.g. the grain size or layer thickness additionally to the hardness tests.

Key features

One for all levels

One for all levels

You have alternating operators at one machine? The fully automatic version with auto-focus limits the operator influence and delivers repeatable and reproducible test results. Just press start & leave the rest to your testing system.

Load cell technology

Load cell technology

With an integrated load cell the hardness tester performs according to a wide range of ISO / ASTM Standards with "closed loop" control. Results are therefore not affected by any structural deflection, misalignment, or vibration (no overshoot). It is further designed for easy testing of e.g. CHD traverses as well as high-sophisticated patterns.
