Next-generation Foundrax hardness tester at Control 2019

Foundrax, a specialist in Brinell hardness testing, will be launching its next generation Robus machine at Control 2019 in Stuttgart (7-10 May), and will exclusively preview its newly developed low-force Brinell range of machines.

Alex Austin, managing director at Foundrax, says: “Robus delivers a high-accuracy Brinell hardness testing capability from a robust benchtop system. Our machines provide laboratory-precision hardness testing in steelworks conditions, and we pride ourselves on the accuracy, repeatability and lifespan of our equipment. We have one example of a machine that has performed around 35 million tests.”

Foundrax will also demonstrate the larger floor-standing BRIN400D, a rugged, shop-floor Brinell hardness tester that carries out automatic indentation and measurement for production-level applications.

The company will be present on stand 5509.
