High precision user-friendly instrumented indentation instrument to measure nanomechanical properties such as Indentation Hardness, Indentation Modulus, Elastic Modulus, Creep and much more of coatings and surfaces according to ISO 14577-1 and ASTM E 2546.
For bulk material and coatings thinner than 1 μm (0.04 mils). LIGHT version of the HM 500 for applications with reduced positioning requirements and fixed configuration.
Excellent price/performance ratio: The achieved resolution and accuracy for the load and distance measurement is in the same range as that of instruments with a much higher purchasing price
Minimal sample preparation due to large working area and open layout
Measurements on dark surfaces without sample preparation
For simple specimen's geometries sufficient positioning accuracy of ≤ 2 μm
Due to its granite design, the device is extremely dimensionally stable, has a very low thermal expansion and is excellently isolated against vibrations.
Additional vibration damping through closed measuring chamber and active anti-vibration table
Easy operation through the customizable WIN-HCU®Software
Typical fields of application
Through the simple sample placement, the instrument is not only suitable for lab applications, but also for production monitoring on:
