Ultra Nano Indentation Tester
The Ultra Nano Hardness Tester is the highest accurate Nano Hardness Tester on the market. The nano indentation technique is part of a recent range of instruments known as Depth-Sensing Indentation (DSI), the penetration depth being continuously monitored as a function of load during the indentation test. This technique has been largely used to evaluate mechanical properties of materials at the nanometer scale, especially hardness and elastic modulus. Given the range of depths (nm) and forces (µN) involved, the accuracy of the measured penetration depth and force is therefore essential for this method, and the incertitude of the corresponding depth and force measurements has a direct influence on the accuracy of results. This paper introduces a new high resolution nano indentation apparatus with an ultra low thermal drift.

Nano Indentation Tester
The Nano-Hardness Tester is specially suited to load and penetration depth measurements at nanometer length scales. The Nano-Hardness Tester(s) can be used in the analysis of organic and inorganic soft and hard coatings. Examples are thin and multilayer PVD, CVD, PECVD, photoresist, paints lacquers, and many other types of films, covering optical, micro- electronic, protective, decorative and other applications. Substrates can be hard or soft, including metal alloys, semiconductors, glass, refractive and organic materials.

Nano Indentation Xpress

The Nano Indentation Xpress is the cost effective solution for Industry and Quality Control (QC) applications. This instrument allows measurement of the Hardness and Elastic modules with a very simple interface. The Xpress concept of ease-of-use enables quick and reliable measurements for your QC and product development departments. The instrument is delivered with complete software that allows the user to predefine the measurement protocol. After protocol definition, it is exported via a USB memory card which is then inserted in the front panel of the Nano Indentation Xpress machine. Once the card has been entered, a simple press of the "start" button will start the test protocol.

Micro Indentation Tester

The Micro-Hardness Tester is ideally suited to the measurement of thin hard coatings, thick soft coatings and bulk materials. It provides accurate and reproducible values for the hardness and elastic modul us of a material.
The Micro-Hardness Tester can be used for bulk materials and coating s su ch as PVD and CVD hard coating and ceramic surface layers.
