Falcon 450
The FALCON 450 series, Micro Vickers, Vickers and Micro Brinell hardness testing machines are a new generation of instruments, improving conventional hardness testing methods and focused on eliminating user influence on the test results. The unique force actuator system utilizes an electronically controlled closed loop system and advanced force sensor technology, with force feedback to achieve absolute accuracy, reliability and repeatability, on each of the forces used for a test. Besides this advanced electromechanical force application system, the FALCON offers superior quality mechanical and optical components, used to complete the instrument.
Some characteristics:
- Hardness scales: (Micro-) Vickers, Knoop and Brinell
- Optical system: Electronic micrometer eyepiece or Analogue eyepiece
- Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x
- Motorized turret: Max. 6 positions; 2 indentor positions, 4 objectives positions
