Mechanical testing equipment is used to analyze and quantify surface properties such as hardness, adhesion, friction and wear. All these parameters are an integral part of product design and improvement of product materials.
Indentation
HARDNESS, MODULUS & CREEP
♦ Ultra Nanoindentation Tester / Nano range high resolution nanoindenter
♦ Bioindenter / Nano range high resolution nanoindenter for soft materials
♦ Nanoindentation Tester / Indenting to nano-micron range
♦ Micro Indentation Tester / Provides over three decades of normal force range
Scratch
ADHESION & RESISTANCE
♦ Nano Scratch Tester / Testing thin films and coatings under 800 nm
♦ Micro Scratch Tester / Testing thin films and coatings under 5 µm
♦ Revetest / Typical coating thickness of several microns
Tribology
FRICTION & WEAR
♦ Nano Tribometer / Nanotribometry with low load range down to 5 µN
♦ Pin-on-Disk Tribometer / Industry standard for measurement of friction and wear
♦ High Temperature Tribometer / Friction coefficient and wear rate with temperature control up to 1000°C
♦ Vacuum Tribometer / Friction and wear studies at controlled vacuum conditions or gaseous environments
