Hard facts

The Nova 130/240 series of Micro Vickers and Knoop hardness testing machines offers a versatile and user-friendly solution for a wide range of micro-hardness testing applications.

The Nova 130 features a three position turret which includes one indenter position as well as a 10x and 40x objective. The Nova 240 is well equipped for more demanding applications, featuring a four position turret including one indenter position, as well as 5x, 10x and 40x objectives.

Both units include USB output, up to nine dial selectable test forces and a full colour touchscreen with interaction dialog support which informs the user about the current status of the device, including instructions on performing one or more tests. The user is lead step by step through the handling of the tester by the intelligent dialog system, and the bright colours on the display clearly inform the user of the test results.

Bowers Group represents Innovatest's range of hardness testers in the UK and Ireland, and the Nova 130/240 series is the latest addition to the wide selection of hardness testing machine offered by the Group.

Paul Hold, technical sales manager for CV Instruments at Bowers Group, says: “The new Nova 130 and 240 series hardness testers are market leaders in their field of application. As advanced, yet traditional deadweight machines, they offer an intelligent dialog system to guide the user through their handling, making them incredibly easy to use and extremely versatile.”

Made in the Netherlands, the Nova 130/240 series is manufactured using high quality components for both electronics and mechanics. It is also covered by Innovatest's two year manufacturer's guarantee.
