IND-1000

The table top nanoindentation system of Semilab is IND-1000. This equipment is applicable for wide range of applications from medium to high load range.

Benefits:

- Measured material properties: Elastic Modulus, Hardness, Yield Strength, Storage and Loss Moduli, Fracture Toughness, Scratch and Wear properties (depending on the sample)

- Closed loop force/depth feedback

- Sub-nanometer depth resolution and extremely linear response LVDT

- High quality PZT expansion element, no heat generation

- Realtime feedback control over application of load- or depth-independent force and displacement measurement

- Precise sample positioning is ensured by video microscope and automated X- Y- Z-movement

- Low compliance load frame, enclosure and mountings

- Traceable calibration

- Periodic calibration is not required

- Easy indenter tip changeover

- Robust design can withstand significant abuse

- Reliable performance for many years

- Almost immune to mechanical breakage unlike competitor instruments

- The technology is based on the successful nanoindentation system of Fischer-Cripps Laboratories.

Optional feature:
- Atomic Force Microscope
