# Reicherter Hardness Legacy Testers

# Reicherter Hardness Legacy Testers

Reicherter produced Vickers, Rockwell, Brinell and Universal hardness testers that were known globally and manufactured in Germany with sturdy machine construction, maximum testing accuracy and ease of use and maintenance. They were used to test crankshafts, camshafts, engine blocks and other large workpieces. They were some of the earliest testers to be integrated into high throughput production lines of larger and heavier test pieces.
