DuraSoft Hardness Software Platform

Experience precision and efficiency with Struers' DuraSoft – a modern and reliable software platform designed for automated hardness testers. DuraSoft offers automatic indent measurement and auto-focus (where supported by hardware), ensuring high throughput, exceptional accuracy, and repeatable results. With DuraSoft, your testing becomes more reliable, consistent, and less dependent on operator variability.

DuraSoft simplifies operations by storing frequently used programs with all essential parameters and calculations. It also features seamless data output options like automated reports and Excel exports. Furthermore, hardness conversions according to ASTM and ISO standards are included as standard, making DuraSoft the ideal solution for streamlined and accurate hardness testing.

Expand Your Capabilities with DuraSoft Modules

A simple test can be set up in 3 seconds only, and the test that took hours and hours to map out on a sample can be accomplished in under 10 minutes for the first time, then under a minute for each repeated performance, all based on a user level management system to maximize repeatability and reproductivity across multiple operators.

Unlock even more potential with DuraSoft's focused software modules. Each module adds specialized functionality, enabling operators to perform their specific tasks with precision, adhering to relevant standards. DuraSoft ensures that every process is carried out efficiently and with ease, delivering the most user-friendly experience.
