FALCON 450G2

Automatic Vickers Hardness Tester

The INNOVATEST FALCON 450G2 is an automatic Vickers hardness tester that eliminates user influence on test results and ensures absolute accuracy, reliability, and repeatability. It features a unique force actuator system with an electronically controlled loadcell closed loop system and advanced force sensor technology.

The FALCON 450G2 also has innovative software functions of the I-TOUCH™ workflow control, that allow for file storing, test program setting and storing, limit settings, conversions to other hardness scales, system setup, and convex and concave sample test settings. This contributes to the high reproducibility of test results.

Vickers hardness tests are a valuable tool for material evaluation, quality control of manufacturing processes, and research and development. Hardness is an empirical measure of a material's resistance to plastic deformation, and it can be correlated to tensile strength for many metals. Vickers hardness testers are routinely used in the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as in laboratories for sample evaluation.

Key advantages of the FALCON 450G2:

• Eliminates user influence on test results
• Accurate, reliable, and repeatable test results
• Innovative software functions
• Wide range of test forces (200gf – 62.5kgf)
• Convex and concave sample test settings
• Durable and easy to use
