CM Series Micro Hardness Testers

As a variety of new materials are being introduced to the market, the need for Vickers and Knoop micro hardness testing has greatly increased. CM Series Micro Hardness Testers utilize advanced technology for incredibly accurate test results. And for optimum flexibility, combine the CM Tester with our available ARS Software, for a complete automated testing system.

Special Features

  • Built in dial-a-weight system easily changes from load to load.
  •  Advanced microcomputer with LCD touch panel display (CM-802/CM-802AT)
  • Automated test sequence performs easy hands-free loading operation
  • Vickers, Knoop, Brinell and fracture toughness (Kc) testing (CM-802/CM-802AT)
  • Sharp clear optics provide accurate indentation readings
  • Optional dual indenter turret is available with up to 4 objectives on the CM-802
    and 3 objectives on the CM-102 and CM-402
  • Optional digital micrometer head with CM-802 screen display (CM-802)
  • USB output connection (CM-802 Series)
  • Built-in LED surface light
  • Conforms to tolerances per ASTM & ISO 17025 Standards
