The Axiotek Brand

Professional hardness testers engineered and manufactured in Italy.

Engineering-driven design, metrological precision, and fully Italian manufacturing.

Axiotek logo

Axiotek represents the contemporary evolution of Italian research in hardness measurement.
It brings together precision mechanics, proprietary software, and industrial design, creating a complete line of professional hardness testers entirely developed in Italy.

Since 2025, following the acquisition of the OMAG-AFFRI production branch, Axiotek has become the world’s only manufacturer producing hardness testers under both the Axiotek and AFFRI brands, ensuring technical continuity, consistent build quality, and direct support.

Our production facility in Induno Olona (Varese, Italy) covers the entire development process: design, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, and commissioning.
This fully integrated workflow ensures long-term reliability, complete traceability, and high-level metrological performance.

Axiotek: turning engineering into an instrument

Every Axiotek hardness tester is born from a clear design philosophy:
transforming engineering into measurement design.

The goal is to make hardness testing more stable, intuitive, and repeatable by integrating metrology, electronics, mechanics, and software into one cohesive architecture.

Integrated Technology

Proprietary hardware developed for rigidity and load stability
– Native software with guided workflows, optimized for production environments
