FISCHER PICODENTOR HM500 Durometer

Measurement and computation of material parameters according to DIN EN ISO 14577-1 Annex A and ASTM E 2546

Determination of numerous plastic and elastic properties such as Vickers hardness, modulus of indentation and creep

Dynamic measurement mode (dynamic mechanical analysis)

Suitable for testing solid materials and coatings in the nanometer range, test-force range 0.005 – 500 mN

Modular design allows for easy adaption to your needs

Zero point determined in less than a minute, enabling quick measurements

Programmable XY stage with positioning accuracy of 0.5µm makes measuring on small areas like bond wires possible

Samples up to 13 cm tall can be measured

High-quality scientific microscope

Thermally stable: measures at constant temperatures for several hours

Powerful WIN-HCU software for intuitive operation and evaluation

Indenters: Vickers, Berkovich or carbide ball, as well as special indenters on request

Applications
