    Falcon 500

    The FALCON 500 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, 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: High definition, 5Mpx machine Vision system
    - Objectives: 2.5x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x, 100x
    - Motorized turret: 6 positions; 2 indentor positions, 4 objectives positions

  • Details

    High speed 6 positions precision turret.

    The standard high speed modular 6 positions turret swivels motorized into the correct required position. The positions are automatically selected while the system checks which indentor and objective are most suitable for the selected test, to be performed.

    Advanced turret / precision Z-axis

    Hi Tech ‘’collision protected’’ turret and load application system Multi load cell technology with the highest possible force repeatability, high speed digital electronic circuits and advanced, complex algorithms provide an ultra-fast positioning turret, free to configure as per your requirements. Protected against damage due to collision with a work piece or stage. The anti-collision system protects not only the tester and the work piece but also indenters and objectives against operator failure under all circumstances.

    Ultra precise Z-axis movement

    The Z-axis height adjustment of the motorized or manual work table is provided by a high precision linear slide. In combination with a ball bearing spindle, this high quality ultra-precise system allows superfast focusing and guarantees unparalleled accuracy in work piece positioning. All advantages of a moving test head and fixed surface testing height in one advanced solution
