A hardness test is non-destructive testing methods that determines the hardness of a material by measuring the depth of the penetration from an indenter onto it. Hardness testing instruments are typically designed to preform one of the three main methods of hardness testing: Vickers, Rockwell, and Brinell hardness testing. However, some may be capable of performing more than one method with universal hardness testing machines being capable of all three.

| Description | The AMH6 is an automated hardness testing system engineered to eliminate laboratory bottlenecks while maintaining uncompromising data integrity. By combining advanced optics with intuitive Cornerstone® software, the AMH6 streamlines the entire characterization process—from initial setup to final The AMH6 is an automated hardness testing system engineered to eliminate laboratory bottlenecks while maintaining uncompromising data integrity. By combining advanced optics with intuitive Cornerstone® software, the AMH6 streamlines the entire characterization process—from initial setup to final analysis.
The system maximizes efficiency with a multi-sample holder that tests up to five specimens simultaneously. Additionally, a unique self-leveling mount automatically adjusts for uneven samples, ensuring perfectly perpendicular indentations every time. Designed for high-volume environments, the AMH6 empowers labs to increase throughput and reduce preparation time without sacrificing the "Trusted Precision" LECO is known for....
