NEW Motorised UCI Probes
Today, Proceq is pleased to announce the launch of the new Equotip 550 UCI MOTO-03 and UCI MOTO-08 motorized probes, setting a new benchmark for portable microhardness testing. These advanced probes leverage Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) technology with precise, motorized force application for reliable, repeatable results, especially on thin coatings and precision components.
The new UCI MOTO probes offer:
-
Extremely low indentation depths down to 3 μm, supporting test forces HV0.3 and HV0.8. This ensures accurate hardness measurement of delicate, functional coatings and hardened surfaces, with results comparable to bench-top Vickers testers.
-
Automatic force application minimizes operator influence, while programmable penetration time (1-99 seconds) simulates bench-top testing conditions for various materials. The UCI MOTO probes are designed for precision quality control in demanding industries including automotive, aviation, marine, tooling, machinery, manufacturing, mining, energy, and printing & paper sectors. The probes are also fully compliant with international standards including DIN 50159, ASTM A1038, and GB/T 34205, ensuring strict measurement accuracy and repeatability.
The leading Ultrasonic Contact Impedance measurement system with advanced capabilities
-
Low indentation enables efficient testing of thin-coating, layers and polished surfaces
-
Ideal for lab and on-site precision micro-hardness testing
-
With good surface preparation, motorized probes are also suitable for testing thicker components
