Table Top Nanoindentation Tester (TTX-NHT)

Table Top Nanoindentation Tester (TTX-NHT) Description:

The CSM Instruments Table Top Instrument places the performance of the standard Nanoindentation Tester (NHT) into a small and simple-to-use instrument which is ideally suited to routine nanoindentation testing where a full platform configuration may not be appropriate or necessary.

The Table Top instrument has the advantage of being extremely compact and specifically designed for mechanical hardness testing. It can be configured with different motorized or manual sample stages in order to match your characterization needs to your budget. The  TTX therefore provides an extremely cost-effective solution, whilst maintaining the technical performance of the full featured CSM nanoindentation instrument.

The nanoindentation head provides the same high performance as the standard Nanoindentation Tester (NHT). is also upgradeable with optional technical features like Sinus mode (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis: storage and loss modulii) and can be configured with a range of displacement stage options and integrated video microscope.

The TTX comprises an extremely cost effective yet multi-mode nanoindentation system providing many testing configurations:

- Simple indentation
- Advanced indentation
- Progressive multi cycles
- Continuous Multi Cycles (CMC)
- User-defined sequence
- Sinus mode (optional)

The Table Top Nanoindentation Tester includes a control unit, and a PC with full data acquisition, analysis and storage software. Display of data and HMI is provided by a dual 17" LCD monitor.
