Product Description
The HKST-1000Z Touchscreen Automatic Turret Micro Knoop Hardness Tester is an upgraded, fully digital hardness measurement instrument designed for precise micro-load Knoop hardness applications. It features an integrated optical, mechanical and electronic architecture, combined with an advanced touch-controlled interface, providing highly accurate readings with excellent repeatability and stability.
This model adopts a 7-inch LCD touchscreen that intuitively displays hardness values, conversion scales, test force, indentation length, dwell time and measurement statistics. The automatic turret switching mechanism ensures fast objective and indenter transitions without manual contact, significantly reducing user operation errors. With enhanced optical components, stable LED illumination and reinforced mechanical structure, the HKST-1000Z maintains long-term measurement accuracy and offers a smoother testing workflow.
Combined with multiple hardness scales, automatic storage, USB data export and optional motorized Z-axis elevator, it provides an advanced and reliable testing solution for micro-materials, coatings, metals, ceramics and scientific laboratories.

Product Advantages
