  • Test methods such as Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Knoop, portable Rockwell, as well as Shore and IRHD.
  • Solutions ranging from manual laboratory instruments to automated testing systems, including accessories, test blocks, and custom extensions.

Broad portfolio

From microhardness testers for thin coatings and hardness profiles to universal hardness testers with a wide load range, you will find the right solution for many applications.

Precision & standards compliance

The systems are designed for reproducible results and relevant standards—important for reliable quality assurance in the laboratory and production.

From the lab to the line

Whether individual tests, series testing, or automated workflows: the portfolio supports different test depths, load ranges, and levels of integration.

Consulting via LATZKE

Through LATZKE, you not only gain access to the products, but also receive support with selection, application, calibration, modernization, and service.

Overview of the offering

Vickers & microhardness

For thin materials, surface layers, weld seams, and hardness profiles. Series such as DuraScan are designed for precise optical evaluation and fine test force ranges.

Universal hardness

For Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Knoop, and other methods with a wide load range. Suitable when multiple test methods are to be covered in one system.

Rockwell

Fast and easy hardness testing for metallic materials. Suitable for laboratories, quality assurance, and—depending on the version—also for production-related applications.

Portable devices

Measurements directly on the component—ideal for large, heavy, or hard-to-access workpieces, as well as for flexible use outside the laboratory.

Shore & IRHD

Hardness testing on rubber, elastomers, and plastics with analogue, digital, or stationary solutions for different standards and application requirements.

Automation & accessories

Components for more efficient workflows, stable processes, and reliable instrument monitoring.
