Semi-automatic Vickers and Knoop hardness tester with motorized stage and digital image analysis — the cost-effective solution for micro and macro Vickers hardness testing.
The INNOVATEST FALCON 600G2 is a semi-automatic Vickers and Knoop hardness tester offering excellent performance at an accessible price. With motorized XY stage, high-resolution camera, and NEXUS image analysis software, it delivers accurate Vickers hardness measurements from HV0.1 to HV50 for a wide range of industrial and research applications.
The INNOVATEST FALCON 600G2 delivers reliable Vickers and Knoop hardness testing performance in a cost-effective semi-automatic platform. It covers the HV0.1 to HV50 load range — sufficient for the vast majority of industrial hardness testing applications including heat treatment QC, coating hardness, and weld hardness inspection.
The motorized XY stage enables automated multi-point grid measurements and hardness traverses for case depth determination. The high-resolution CMOS camera and NEXUS digital image analysis system automate diagonal measurement, eliminating operator subjectivity and improving measurement speed compared to manual eyepiece micrometer methods.
The FALCON 600G2 is the ideal instrument for production quality control laboratories that require reliable, accurate Vickers hardness testing without the cost of fully automated systems. Its intuitive NEXUS software interface minimises operator training requirements while delivering comprehensive SPC reporting and data management.
