IND-1500

IND-1500 is an advanced nanoindentation tester with closed and isolated enclosure, improved noise and vibration isolation. This equipment is applicable for thin film characterization even on samples with 150-200 nm of thicknesses.

Tool features:

• Precise sample positioning is ensured by video microscope and software-driven X, Y, Z movement
• 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
• Easy indenter tip changeover
• Low compliance load frame, enclosure and mountings
• Traceable calibration
• Choice of staging and microscope to suit budget

Benefits:

- Better vibration discharge

- Better voice isolation 

- Depth resolution in nanometer scale and extremely linear

response LVDT

- High quality PZT expansion element, no heat generation

- Real time feedback control over application of load or depth

- Independent force and displacement measurement

- Robust design can withstand significant abuse

• Reliable performance for many years
• Almost immune to mechanical breakage unlike competitor’ s instruments
• Periodic calibration is not required

Optional features:
- Atomic Force Microscope
