Combined Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, and Knoop universal hardness tester with automatic turret and motorized stage for comprehensive hardness testing in a single instrument.
The INNOVATEST NEMESIS 9100G2 is a universal hardness tester that combines Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, and Knoop methods in a single automated instrument. With an automatic turret, motorized XY stage, and high-resolution optical system, it delivers complete hardness characterization without instrument changes.
The INNOVATEST NEMESIS 9100G2 is the most comprehensive universal hardness testing platform in the INNOVATEST range, combining Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, and Knoop methods in a single fully automated instrument. This eliminates the cost, space, and workflow complexity of maintaining multiple dedicated hardness testers for different test methods.
The six-position automatic turret switches between indenters and objective lenses under software control, enabling multi-method test sequences to run unattended. High-resolution coaxial LED illumination and a precision camera system deliver sharp indentation images for accurate automated diagonal measurement across all optical methods.
The NEXUS software platform supports automated hardness traverse profiles — critical for heat treatment case depth determination — as well as full 2D hardness mapping, statistical process control, and customizable report generation with direct export to Excel, PDF, and LIMS systems.
