Hardness Testing Automation System
AMH55 Automation Platform
Overview
The AMH55 is a powerful, software-driven hardness testing system designed to maximize productivity and simplify indentation analysis across a wide range of applications. It delivers fast, repeatable results with minimal operator involvement, featuring touchscreen-ready controls, customizable test patterns, and robust construction for modern metallographic workflows.
Why Choose LECO AMH55
Higher Throughput
The AMH55 automates the entire indentation and measurement process—from load application to image capture to hardness calculation. Automated stage movement and batch processing dramatically increase throughput, making it ideal for labs running long sequences or repetitive microhardness tasks.
Reliable Repeatability
With computer-controlled load application, precision optics, and automated indent measurement, the AMH55 minimizes operator influence and reduces variability. The system applies consistent test conditions across every sample, delivering highly repeatable microhardness results for demanding QA and research environments.
Effortless Operation
A user-friendly interface guides operators through test setup, measurement parameters, and batch creation. Automated focusing, edge detection, and indentation measurement reduce manual effort and shorten training time. Whether you’re processing a few samples or a full tray, the AMH55 makes the workflow smooth and intuitive.
Streamlined Compliance
The AMH55 software supports ASTM and ISO microhardness test methods, with built-in data storage, traceability, and export options. Automated logging ensures consistent documentation across operators and shifts—ideal for regulated or audit-driven environments.
