Fully automated Rockwell hardness tester with motorized XY stage, automatic indenter turret, and objective changer for high-throughput hardness testing in production and research environments.
The INNOVATEST GEMINI 6100G2 is a fully automated Rockwell hardness tester featuring a motorized XY stage, automatic indenter turret, and objective lens changer. It delivers fast, accurate, and operator-independent Rockwell hardness measurements across all standard scales (HRA, HRB, HRC, HR15N, HR30N, HR45N, and more) with full traceability.
The INNOVATEST GEMINI 6100G2 is a fully automated Rockwell hardness testing system designed for high-throughput, operator-independent hardness measurement in production quality control and research laboratories. Its closed-loop force control system ensures precise, repeatable load application across all Rockwell scales — eliminating human error in the indentation process and enabling full ISO 6508 and ASTM E18 compliance.
The automatic indenter turret switches between the diamond cone indenter and ball indenters without manual intervention, enabling multi-scale testing programs to run unattended. The motorized XY stage supports automated multi-point mapping and grid testing routines, generating spatial hardness maps of heat-treated zones, welds, and graded materials.
NEXUS software provides a complete measurement environment with real-time statistical process control (SPC), automated pass/fail evaluation against user-defined limits, customizable report templates, and direct data export to Excel and LIMS systems.
