Abstract
A hardness testing device has at least one penetrator (9), arranged on a holder (15), for producing an impression (27) in an object under test (3) and at least one lens (12) for detecting at least one measure of the impression (27) in the object under test (3), which can be positioned alternately over the object under test (3). The holder (15) is mounted on the hardness testing device (6) in such a way as to be able to rotate around its longitudinal axis.

Hardness testing device comprising:
- a test probe (11) rotatable about a first axis of rotation (13);
- a holder (15) on the test probe and being rotatable about a second axis of rotation (17) different from the first axis of rotation;
- at least one penetrator (9), on the holder (15), for producing an impression (27) in an object under test (3);
- and
- at least one lens (12), on the test probe, for detecting at least one measure of the impression (27) in the object under test (3),
- which wherein the holder and the at least one lens are positionable alternately over the object under test (3).
Method for setting a rotating position of a penetrator (9) of a hardness testing device (6) that is mounted on a holder (15), where the hardness testing device includes a test probe (11) rotatable about a first axis of rotation (13), where the holder is on the test probe and is rotatable about a second axis of rotation (17) different from the first axis of rotation, where the hardness testing device includes a lens on the test probe for detecting a measure of an impression make by the penetrator in an object under test, the method comprising:
- rotating the test probe around the first axis of rotation so that the penetrator in the holder is over the object under test;
- and
- rotating the penetrator (9) on the holder (15) around the second axis of rotation (17) until the orientation of the penetrator (9) corresponds to a target position.
