Mobile Leeb Hardness Testers with External Sensors
The Sauter HMM and HMM-NP are advanced, portable Leeb hardness testers designed for reliable metal hardness testing in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with an external Type D impact sensor, they provide precise, multi-unit hardness readings with high flexibility and ease of use. The HMM version includes a portable infrared printer, while the HMM-NP is supplied without a printer.
