Dave provided a brief overview of hardness testing and the hardness tester being used in the experiment, and then proceeded to zero out the instrument. Every participant stepped up and made their measurements for three indents on a certified test block, writing their results down in secret so as not to bias the rest of the group. After all of the humans made their measurements, the AMH55 was instructed to measure three indents of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded-full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-lab-test-krystin-dave-012126.jpg\" alt=\"LECO - News - Human vs Machines AMH55 - Lab test with Krystin &amp; Dave image\" class=\"wp-image-1369\" style=\"width:786px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-lab-test-krystin-dave-012126.jpg 384w, https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-lab-test-krystin-dave-012126-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-lab-test-krystin-dave-012126-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Participant<\/th><th>Time Taken<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Askar<\/td><td>3:38.52<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lauren<\/td><td>2:59.72<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matt<\/td><td>1:50.18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Krystin<\/td><td>1:35.63<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Steve<\/td><td>1:17.88<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aimin<\/td><td>1:05.30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dave<\/td><td>0:57.43<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AMH55<\/td><td>0:29.54<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Already, the AMH55 has a clear advantage over the human participants: it is nearly twice as fast as the fastest human in our test, and more than 7 times faster than the slowest!

However, only the AMH55 was consistently within 0.5 \u00b5m of the actual verified value. In fact, the average range of readings for diagonals across a single indent was 1.67 \u00b5m for the humans, but only about 0.1 \u00b5m for the AMH55. 1.67 \u00b5m may seem small, but it can be a significant difference in a Vickers hardness result, and in this case represented a swing of up to 50 HV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded-full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-use-comparison-chart-hardness-012126.jpg\" alt=\"LECO - News - Human vs Machines AMH55 - Use comparison chart by hardness image\" class=\"wp-image-1372\" style=\"width:786px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-use-comparison-chart-hardness-012126.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-use-comparison-chart-hardness-012126-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-use-comparison-chart-hardness-012126-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev26.lecowebtest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/leco-news-human-vs-machines-amh55-use-comparison-chart-hardness-012126-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This variation in diagonal measurements led to variation in the hardness result, and it was precisely this variation that the AMH55 does not have to contend with. Throughout the experiment, the humans made various complaints, from the age of their eyes to the discomfort from trying to fit themselves to the location of the eyepiece. We tried to minimize some variation by having only one person, Dave, zero out the instrument each time, but even that act can introduce sources of error. Other human sources of error can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Focus:<\/strong> If the indent is not perfectly in focus, there may be some difficulty finding the corners of the indent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eyesight:\u00a0<\/strong>Some people don\u2019t see as well as others, and eyes may become fatigued after prolonged hardness testing. Several of our testers commented about eyestrain after just these three indents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alignment:<\/strong> When rotating the ocular eyepiece for the second diagonal, if the eyepiece isn\u2019t exactly at 90\u00b0 from the first measurement, this means the diagonal is read at an angle, which introduces variation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Human Factors:<\/strong> Humans can be bored, tired, anxious, and vary in experience etc., leading to \u201csloppier\u201d readings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While most humans involved in this test made perfectly good measurements, that small variation between different readers can lead to different results. Automated hardness testing systems like the AMH55 do not have to account for any of the above sources of error. When combined with the increased speed, the choice becomes simple: If precision is important, automation is the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained
