Unique test load range – no other manufacturer worldwide offers this:
The lowering test head, driven by servo motors, enables test loads from 10 grams (!) (0,0981 N) to 250 kg (2452,5 N). The INNOVATEST® development department has done a great job here in creating a unique, ultra-precise load cell system with the appropriate control electronics.
Quality of automatic hardness indentation measurement (image analysis HV + HB + HK)
At the CONTROL trade fair, we once again received a lot of positive feedback on the quality of the testing software and the accuracy of the results. One visitor said: "Today I had this round sewing needle shaft (Ø approx. 2 mm), which is only chrome-plated and has many scratches due to production, measured by all suppliers of Vickers hardness testers. Not one evaluation software was able to solve this task. And now this hardness testing machine delivers 5 reliable results one after the other - that is more than amazing" to: automatic testing software IMPESSIONS® with integrated image evaluation for Vickers, test load HV1, curvature correction Ø 2 mm, test impression with different diagonals through convex test piece, additional conical surface: Vickers impression in the shape of a spearhead...)
Another visitor at the end of the fair: "I looked closely at all the hardness testing machines at the fair. It is nice to see an improvement at the end (NEMESIS 5100)."
Unsurpassed short test and evaluation time: The integrated motor technology, the optimized control electronics and, last but not least, the unique IMPRESSIONS ® test and evaluation software reduce the duration of the hardness test to a minimum. If you compare the duration of a hardness test with the test cycles of established manufacturers, INNOVATEST – Hardness testing machines provide reliable results usually 30 to 70% earlier.

Manufacturers + Calibration Services Hardness Comparison Plates - take advantage: Invest in just one hardness tester for hardness comparison standards: Use a fully automatic system for almost any hardness scale <250kg. NEMESIS 5000: Development, design & precision manufacturing Very Well Made in The Netherlands!
Test load range 10 grams to 250 kg
- NEMESIS 5101 – 10 grams to 250 kgf
- NEMESIS 5102 – 100 grams to 250 kgf
- NEMESIS 5103 – 10 grams to 3000 kgf
In the most advanced version with full equipment, this machine offers fully automatic tests using a motor-controlled XY cross table, hardness curves CHD, Nht, Rht, weld seam hardness testing, test point position detection with a mouse click, freely configurable test patterns, hardness scan with colored 3D diagram (material homogeneity) and standard hardness tests in individual or series tests. In addition, hardness tests according to Martens (universal hardness) and Jominy hardness tests (face quenching test) can be carried out.
Incredible test load range: The servo motor-driven test head enables test loads from 10 gf up to 250 kgf, which is currently unique on the world market. To achieve these goals, the INNOVATEST® development department has done a great job and developed a unique hardness testing machine with high-precision load cells and excellent control electronics. The loading mechanism, driven by a top-class servo system, positions the test head in any desired position at high speed and with sub-micrometer accuracy.
New benchmark: Extremely fast hardness test (start to result: <30 sec. including 10 sec. holding time).

Quick-change system for XY tables and test tables:
As an alternative to the normal CNC cross table, a large T-slot cross table or rigid prismatic or flat test tables can be adapted. To save time, the NEMESIS 5000 is equipped with another unique feature: a change system for changing test tables in a matter of seconds.
Safety first: anti-collision system
To ensure maximum safety for the user and to protect the hardness tester from incorrect operation, all types of the NEMESIS 5000 series are equipped with an advanced detection, warning and retraction system. This reliably prevents a damaging Z-axis/test head collision as soon as an unusual force is applied to it. Even with small forces, the test head stops within milliseconds and retracts again. This protects fingers, hands, workpieces, optics and indenters from damage - replacing a damaged optic or indenter is a thing of the past.
Clamping cap/hold-down clamp:
An integrated hold-down device is available as an option for fixing/clamping the test piece on the test table. This can be used to secure the workpiece against tipping and to carry out a Rockwell hardness test with clamping.
software features
Individual hardness tests, application of pre-stored test programs, use of prepared test samples, CHD, Nht, Rht tests, complex test sequences (e.g. weld seam hardness testing), surface hardness testing (hardness scanning), Jominy hardness testing. All of these evaluations and control sequences are part of the options offered by the IMPRESSIONS® hardness testing and control software - right up to monitoring the test sequence.
2D/3D hardness surface testing (scanning)
This is a newly developed tool for the detailed inspection of the hardness distribution over the entire range of, for example, heat-treated samples (testing the homogeneity of the material/treatment). This method is used specifically in research and development for assessment in materials research. It can also be used for other material qualifications (e.g. testing of weld seam connections, etc.) in order to obtain a visualization of the analysis in the form of a 2D/3D color diagram (optional equipment).
crack length measurement
This evaluation is also of interest in research and development in order to study deeper insights into the material behavior during crack formation and crack growth due to fatigue. By using this special evaluation ("KIC test"), the brittleness of the material can be determined and crack formation can be predicted using the Vickers hardness test.
Ultra-fast, specialized system control
The heart of the FALCON 5000 is an embedded ultra-fast system controller with an i7 processor and 2 Intel SSD hard drives. This controller runs under Windows 7 Embedded and is 100% protected against unwanted changes by "deep freeze" (freezing of system settings). As long as this protection is not deactivated, nothing can affect the safe operation of this controller.
result storage and test certificate printing
The advanced report generator allows you to configure and control the output and helps you easily export to a CSV file for further use in Excel or other MS applications. Within these programs, you have all the design options you already know from MIRCOSOFT products.
connectivity
has become a magic word today and this also applies to the FALCON 5000 with its interfaces: USB3 ports, a 5-axis control, an RJ45 LAN port and a WLAN adapter are on board as standard.
