Precision, speed, and repeatability are vital in modern material testing environments. At GNEHM, we deliver all three by default. Every hardness tester in our product portfolio is a fully or semi-automated system, designed to increase efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy. Whether you’re testing metals, alloys, or heat-treated components, our automatic hardness testing machines help streamline your quality control processes without compromising on performance.
Automatic hardness testing uses advanced technologies to perform hardness tests with minimal human input. These systems apply test forces, position samples, measure indentation results, and generate reports, all with a high degree of automation.
By eliminating manual steps, automatic testers reduce operator influence and ensure consistent, traceable results, even in high-throughput environments. Most systems combine motorized stages, intelligent software, digital imaging, and integrated sensors to perform tests with unmatched precision.
Automating hardness testing brings key advantages for industries under pressure to reduce cycle times and increase consistency:
Whether you’re working with Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers or Knoop methods, automation enables you to maintain high standards at scale.
At GNEHM, every hardness tester in our portfolio is a fully or semi-automatic system. Engineered with Swiss precision and closed-loop control technology. Each system comes equipped with the hardware and software needed for automated testing, requiring only minimal configuration.
