We offer a wide range of solutions including Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, Universal, Shore, IRHD and even Martens hardness testers.
We can customize any solution thanks to our many years of experience and expertise in the sector
Our standard accessories include traditional and special anvils (flat, V-shaped, with clamp, round, etc.), indenters, test blocks, motorized tables and manual tables. Each accessory can be customized according to specific needs. For some application examples, visit our blog
Absolutely, all our durometers strictly follow the ISO and ASTM reference standards for each chosen hardness method. Some instruments also meet more specific standards such as IIS and GOST, and can also be requested by NADCAP and IATF certified entities.
Of course! We receive many requests from high schools for educational equipment and from Universities for research and development purposes. We have already established relationships with many such entities, even going so far as to design custom-made equipment, both entry-level and more advanced. This is the case, for example, of the Martens durometer branded Axiotek which is currently used at the Polytechnic of Turin for R&D.

Some information we may ask you for an evaluation are:
What type of material do you want to test (cast iron, steel, ceramic, glass…)?
How big are the samples to be tested? How thick are they?
Do the samples to be tested have complex geometries (e.g. teeth)?
How often do you use the durometer on a daily/weekly basis?
You can find the catalogs to download directly on the page of the durometer of your interest. If you need specific information or details, contact us: You can find all our contacts here.
Generally, it is not so much the maximum size that is a problem (you can always opt for a portable durometer in these cases) as the minimum size and thickness of the sample to be tested. Some durometers are more suitable for testing on small dimensions by definition, such as micro-durometers. In others, it is sufficient to use a suitable sample anchoring support.
Remember that in any case, each hardness analysis method follows international standards (ISO, ASTM, DIN, etc.) which have the specific purpose, among others, of specifically defining the minimum and maximum thicknesses of the sample under examination.

Of course! All our durometers have a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase, which can be extended upon request. Even the durometers we retrofit are covered by a warranty (only for the components we have updated or inserted).
Delivery depends on factors such as the destination country and production times. All information that we will discuss together during the sales process.
We ship throughout Italy, Europe and EXTRA-EU.
Yes, one of our technicians can provide you with on-site or remote assistance if the intervention is minor or can be managed remotely.
There could be several reasons: it depends on the size of the parts being checked or on any impacts the durometer may have received. Call us or send us an email for assistance. You can find all our contacts here

A chipped indenter is never a good sign and should be replaced immediately. Remember that it is precisely through the impression generated by the indenter that the hardness value is obtained (be it Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Shore, Knoop, IRHD or Martens): if the indenter is damaged, the impression will be deformed, and therefore the hardness value will not be correct.

Yes, training on the use can be requested at any time and for any durometer (even retrofitted solutions). It is aimed at both those who already have experience with other durometers and those who are more inexperienced and want to be guided in the quality control task.
Yes, for advanced training courses we issue nominal paper certificates of attendance.
Training can be carried out on-site or remotely. We generally recommend training upon delivery of the durometer, so that you can practice under the supervision of one of our technicians.
Certainly! One of our technicians will follow you closely throughout the entire training course.

Yes, all our services extend to any type of hardness tester (Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell) of any brand on the market. Visit the dedicated page for more details.
Generally, this check should be carried out, in compliance with the regulations, every 12 months. However, the timing is shorter when the instrument is used frequently.
There are many ways to make your durometer last longer, in this article we have talked about the 2 main methods to take care of it.
The calibration and calibration services we offer are direct and indirect in accordance with current regulations. Simply book an appointment by calling us or sending us an email indicating the last calibration carried out, the durometer model and the scales you would like to calibrate.
We will together establish a suitable date to come to you and carry out the calibration.
Yes, we are ISO 17025 certified for the ACCREDITED calibration of Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers durometers. You can find all the details here.
Calibration is by far the best way to ensure the long-term functionality of your durometer. Without periodic calibration, you will never be sure that the hardness values generated are actually correct.
Generally, this check should be carried out, in compliance with the regulations, every 12 months. However, the timing is shorter when the instrument is used frequently.
Our retrofit service extends to all types of hardness testers (Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell) of any brand on the market. Depending on the type of durometer you want to upgrade, the retrofit can consist of a simple update of the electronics, adding a front panel for use, or even a complete update of the optical analysis.
For more details, visit our dedicated page: click here.
The warranty for retrofitted durometers lasts 6 months and is intended to cover only the components subject to retrofit (generally the electronic part of the impression optical analysis, or the updated front panel). All other components are not covered by the Axiotek warranty.
It depends on the type of durometer you want to upgrade: generally, upgrading Vickers and Brinell hardness testers takes longer than Rockwell ones, as they require more mechanical interventions.
