Nanomechanical | Micromechanical Tester

Nanomechanical | Micromechanical Tester Description:

Nanovea Mechanical Testers provide unmatched multi-function Nano and Micro/Macro modules on a single platform. Both the Nano and Micro/Macro modules include scratch tester, hardness tester and wear tester modes providing the widest and most user friendly range of testing available on a single module. Nanovea's unmatched range is an ideal solution for determining the full range of mechanical properties of thin/thick coatings and substrates. Applications range from low loads to measure hardness and elastic modulus of biomaterials to high loads required to test the fracture toughness of hard coatings in the tooling industry. Nanovea scratch, hardness and wear tester modes use independent force & depth sensors to obtain plastic and elastic deformation during scratch testing, depth versus load curves during instrumented indentation and friction coefficient and wear rate during pin-on-disk or linear wear testing. Additionally, force feedback controlled loops insure high precision load control during hardness, scratch and wear tester modes.

Both the Nanovea Platform and Compact Bases have been designed with versatility in mind to allow either the Nano Module up to 400mN or Micro/Macro Module from 40N-200N. Several optical imaging options including 3D non-contact profiler and AFM Module are available for high resolution 3D imaging of scratch, indentation and wear track in addition to other optical measurements such as roughness. Image pattern recognition is now a breakthrough Software option on both the Nano and Micro Module to allow automated indentation hardness testing for quality control use (Nanovea PRVision). Additional options include rotational table and heating module.
