Rigidity and perpendicular indenter positioning are crucial to obtain Vickers indents with a
perfect geometry. Re-invented, adjustable indenter actuators provide maintenance free, smooth
force application, easy to access and easy to replace indenters. Standard integrated
XY-stage overview camera with optical zoom reduces application set up time dramatically.

The 6 position turret is supplied as a standard feature on all 500 models and allows
to install indenters for Vickers, Knoop and Brinell (balls 1mm 2.5mm & 5mm)
testing. Factory installed, the FALCON 500 has four objectives. Depending on the
conguration, choose from 2.5X, 5X, 10X, 20X, 50X, 100X that, in combination
with the HD camera, with digital zoom, provide crisp images.
6 POSITION PRECISION TURRET & OPTICAL SYSTEM

Create magnied sample overview with the standard on-board, autofocus, optical
& digital zoom overview camera. The eld of view of this sophisticated full color
camera system does not limit you to one eld of view, but gives a ZOOM range
of 45 x 35mm up to 155 x 125mm without the need to use time consuming scan
and stitch functions.
Once the viewing area needs to be larger than the zoom range, scanning and
stitching can be selected to create full stage overview. Click and go is one of
the standard testing features of the overview camera. Just click randomly on
designated area’s and push ‘’start’’. All tests run automatically. The pattern video
overlay function eases positioning of multiple test rows or patterns across the
specimen. The pattern video overlay scales automatically with every magnication,
stepless, while the zoom camera decreases or enlarges the overview.
STAGE OVERVIEW CAMERA (OPTIONAL)
A high end ball bearing Z-axis spindle is one of the very unique functions. Z-axis
displacement at an accuracy of micron’s supports ultra-fast auto focus. Z-axis
controls are nearly limitless; CNC as a result from a test program, by touch screen
indicators, by the scroll wheel of the mouse, by fast up and down buttons or from
a scroll wheel on the front of the machine. Speed control related to your own
movement; (0.01 up to 20 mm/s). To avoid any collision between the work piece
and the turret, the Z-axis is controlled by a awless collision detection and Z-axis
retraction system. So neither the tester nor the workpiece are exposed to any
damage.
DYNAMIC Z-AXIS CONTROL & COLLISION DETECTION

Save time and improve efficiency with one of the high speed, highly accurate
motorized XY-stages. Available in variable sizes from standard, to large and
extra-large. Enable automated sequencing of multiple samples. The ultra-high
accuracy and repeatability guarantee precise positioning of indents and allow
re-evaluation of any measurement points in batch or single view. Repeatability
within 3 micron.

All machine control and process workow can easily be operated from the 15“ industrial
capacitive touch screen. At choice a second 15”or larger screen can be connected.
The tester is tted with a high-end external shell structure. The shock proof and
damage resistant ABS machine covers can withstand the harshest environment.
SHOCK RESISTANT ABS MACHINE COVERS
The system has bi-directional in and output channels.
Tester control can be conducted remotely and supports

For the performance of test series for CHD/
SHD/NHD data of specimens according
to standard. The test can be started
directly from the surface view or from
the overview. Additional core points of
hardness can be dened separately for
NHD measurements. The distances of test
points are automatically set to a minimum
distance, following the standard, to assure
correct testing is conducted. Time saving
test mode“complete all indentations – then
evaluate” and “auto-stop” to complete test
series as soon as the lower hardness limit
has been reached.

This especially developed tool enables
you to conduct hardness testing on
welded parts or segments according
to ISO standard. Setting up the pattern
according to the requirements becomes
‘’easy-to-do’’, due to pre-set test points
in the dierent zones of the weld
and automatic correlation between
test points. The system will run a fully
automatic test procedure and display and
record the results accordingly.

A specialized software tool of IMPRESSIONS
TM
allows you to
set up and conduct fully automatic testing as per ISO 898-1
for screw thread measurement of (de)-carbonized part.
Technology that automatically or at a mouse click recognizes
the edge of your sample. This helps to determine and x the
desired starting position for CHD or other pattern testing jobs.
This application scans the entire outline (or partial) area of a
sample. The function can be used with an objective or, ultra
fast, by using the overview zoom camera. The system scans
the entire outline dened and stores all relevant data in the
test program. Subsequently, a chosen number of test points
can be programmed into the particular program, or be
conducted at selected distances, relative to the edge. This
advanced feature enables the hardness testing procedure
to be performed completely automatic. An excellent feature
to combine with 2D or 3D hardness mapping, also known as
‘’plane hardness chart’’.

For those requiring more in depth knowledge on materials
behavior, and wish to study on fracture and fatigue, crack
growth can be predicted (and measured) by using the Kic
application. The software supports Kic crack detection
under load. At choice, one of both methods, Palmqvist or
Median / Radial fracture toughness can be selected.
The optional application “Plane hardness chart“, also
referred to as Color Mapping is the perfect tool for securing
the detail of the hardness distribution over the total cross
section, especially of heat treated samples. An important
feature in material exploration, weld testing or in damage
analysis.
Besides the option to display a 2D graphic diagram,
the system can generate a 3D visual.
2D and 3D hardness chart are one application.
For repeating jobs, IMPRESSIONS
TM
utilizes
the option of setting up and storing custom
test programs. For each task, a ‘’job’’ can be
created. All application specic parameters,
like hardness scale, force, dwell-time, pattern,
conversion and the report template are
stored in the same program.
The report generator oers to design
customized testing reports, including
your company’s details and logo and
include testing results, graphics and
pictures of indentations in an easy to
edit environment. The le can be printed
straight to a connected laser printer for
further distribution. Alternatively the le
can be exported as a CSV le, to be used
in MS Office applications or 3rd party
quality assurance software.
This handy function in IMPRESSIONS
TM
allows you to make screen captures of
the viewing area. It gives the opportunity
to store such images with comments or
to paste them into the report generator
for further processing.
