FISCHER ADHESION TESTER ST30 Adhesion Tester (0,01 - 30N)

Adhesion Tester Features

Robust, durable measurement technology for the analysis of the adhesive and cohesive strength according to ISO 20502, DIN EN 1071-3 and ASTM C1624-05

Fully automatic single and serial measurements

Various measuring modes with options for constant, progressive or incremental load

Motion feed-back control for measurements on curved surfaces

Measuring force range 0.01 – 30 N (ST30)

Determination of zero point directly at the measuring spot

High-resolution microscope with 5x and 20x magnification; additional lenses available

Various optical filters ensure optimum sample analysis and scratch detection

Additional analysis methods: friction force measurement, friction coefficient determination, noise emission measurement, measurement of the remaining scratch depth

The device can be connected to any computer and is easy to use via the intuitive, in-house developed WinSCU software

Software additionally combines tangential force, indentation depth and acoustic emissions (scratch noise) in one evaluation

Easy to generate test reports and to export data

Configuration of sensors possible thanks to modular design of scratch test systems

Large sample chamber with high traversable Z-axis for measurements of samples with up to 10 cm in height without sample preparation

Standard issue with a Rockwell indenter (radius 200 µm); other indenters available on request
