CLAMPING SYSTEM : safe and accurate testing
The ATI RS MOTORIZED is equipped with a workpiece press hood that guarantees stability even on irregular or unstable samples. This ensures accurate and repeatable Rockwell hardness measurements while protecting both the operator and the sample.
The Rockwell indenter (diamond cone or tungsten carbide ball) is safely housed inside the clamping hood and moves downwards only during the hardness test cycle, preventing accidental damage and ensuring maximum operator safety. The hood design also allows precise visualization of the indentation point, minimizing errors and ensuring correct alignment.
OPTIMIZED TESTING AREA
To enhance usability, the ATI RS MOTORIZED Rockwell hardness tester features LED work area lighting, providing excellent visibility of the most challenging testing points. This illumination reduces the risk of errors and extends the life of the penetrators by preventing misalignments.
The generous test area accommodates samples up to 290 mm in height and 210 mm in depth, making the ATI MRS suitable for a wide range of components and industries.
AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT CYCLE
Starting a test is as easy as pressing the START button. The motorized lifting screw automatically positions the sample under the indenter. Preload, load, dwell, and measurement phases are fully automated and displayed in real-time on the control screen. Once the cycle is complete, the hardness value is displayed instantly, ensuring high productivity and repeatable results.
CONTROL PANEL : flexible and ergonomic
The side-mounted control panel is attached to an adjustable articulated arm, allowing operators to position it as needed. This flexibility improves ergonomics and accessibility, especially when testing bulky components. The high-resolution, multi-color display ensures optimal visibility of all parameters and test results.
FUNCTIONAL BASE DESIGN
The base of the ATI RS MOTORIZED Rockwell tester is designed for ease of installation and operation. The motorized lifting system is fully contained within the base, eliminating the need for modifications or drilled holes on the workbench. This robust structure ensures maximum stability and reliability during hardness tests.
SOFTWARE
CUSTOM TEST SETTINGS
Operators can define customized test parameters, including acceptance limits, dwell times, cylindrical surface corrections, Ok-NOK, operator name and product codes. This flexibility ensures compliance with specific production or laboratory requirements.
REAL-TIME PROCESS
The display shows each phase of the Rockwell test cycle (preload, load, dwell) in real-time. Results are color-coded — green for pass, red for fail, yellow for within limits — making quality control quick and straightforward.
CONVERSION and STATISTICS
The ATI RS MOTORIZED allows automatic conversion of Rockwell results into other hardness scales. Test data can be saved directly to USB in XML format, exported to a PC, or sent to a printer for reporting. Integrated statistical tools simplify data analysis for batch testing.
Applications of ATI RS MOTORIZED Rockwell Hardness Tester
The ATI RS MOTORIZED is ideal for:
- Quality control in metalworking and heat treatment industries.
- Hardness testing of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
- Plastic and composite material hardness measurement.
- R&D laboratories and production lines requiring highly repeatable Rockwell tests.

ATI RS MOTORIZED
Motorized Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell hardness tester
ATI RS MOTORIZED is a Motorized and Automatic Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell Hardness Tester, engineered to meet the rigorous standards set forth by ASTM E18, ISO 6508, and ISO 2039-2. This advanced testing instrument employs a high-precision load cell and Closed-Loop electronic control with a 1 KHz sampling rate, ensuring optimal accuracy and reliability.
The automatic start test cycle is initiated with a single input command, streamlining the testing process and enhancing efficiency. ATI RS MOTORIZED is designed to accurately measure the hardness of ferrous, non-ferrous metals, and non-metal materials. Engineered for high accuracy, this tester meets the needs of manufacturers and engineers who require precise hardness measurements in critical applications.
CLAMPING SYSTEM
Thanks to the workpiece press hood, it is possible to perform measurements in complete safety even on particularly unstable samples, ensuring optimal stability during the testing process. Furthermore, the hood allows the measurement point to be precisely visualized, ensuring that each operation is performed correctly and without risks for the operator or the sample.
TESTING AREA
ATI RS MOTORIZED is the result of a study aimed at improving the testing experience. We have designed a work area lighting that guarantees excellent visibility of the most difficult measurement points, thus facilitating the operator and reducing the probability of measurement errors or breakage of the penetrators, helping to extend their life. The lighting is rechargeable directly on board the machine via a USB port. We have also designed an innovative work area, with a maximum test height of up to 290 mm and a depth of 210 mm.
AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT CYCLE
To start the hardness test, simply press the START button. The motorized lifting screw will bring the sample to the test area. Contact with the sample, preload, load and measurement occur automatically. During the process, the operator can monitor in real time on the screen each single phase of the test cycle. At the end of the measurement, the result is provided automatically.
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel is positioned laterally and can be easily moved using an adjustable articulated arm support, which allows it to be moved backwards or forwards based on specific movement needs during use of the instrument. This feature offers great versatility, allowing the operator to optimize the visibility of the screen and, at the same time, adapt the position of the panel to facilitate access and management of the parts. In addition, by moving the panel, it is possible to increase the work area to accommodate bulkier parts, improving overall efficiency during operations.
FUNCTIONAL BASE
The structure of the ATI RS MOTORIZED has been developed to maximize hardness testing: the buttons at the base make the measurement automatic and motorized. This simplifies the operator’s work, increasing accuracy and reducing the risk of errors. Furthermore, no preparation of holes in the support table is necessary, since the lifting screw is entirely contained within the base, avoiding the need to drill holes in the support bench. Thus, the hardness tester can be freely positioned where most convenient, without compromising the stability of the system.
SOFTWARE
CUSTOM TEST SETTINGS
The user can set standard measurement values with customized acceptance limits based on the specific requirements of the product. This allows to quickly determine whether a product passes or fails the control based on the predefined thresholds. It is also possible to set the name of the operator, the product codes, the dwell times in the measurement phases, the conversion of the values into other scales, as well as the correction values for measurements on cylindrical surfaces. In addition, statistics can be set and the collected data can be stored.
REAL-TIME VIEW
The operator has full control of the process. The large, high-definition, multi-color graphic display shows each phase of the test cycle in real time through a graph representing the preload cycle, the load, and the dwell times. At the end of the test, the result appears and changes color based on the set acceptability thresholds: green (perfect), red (out of limits), yellow (within limits). In this way, it is possible to verify whether the hardness measurement is within the established limits. A diagram representing the relationship between the applied forces and the imprint is also available.
DATA CONVERSION AND STATISTICS
In addition to the measurement result, it is possible to consult the conversion values in the various selected scales, view the statistics and manage the data. Before carrying out the hardness tests, it is possible to insert a flash memory into the USB port, which will record all the data detected during the measurements and sort them in XML format. The data can then be exported, saved on an external PC, sent to a printer or transmitted over the network.
