FISCHER FISCHERSCOPE HM2000 Durometer

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

Dynamic mode for determining viscoelastic material properties (dynamic mechanical analysis)

Fast measurement: the zero point is determined within 30 seconds

Only minimal sample preparation required, even on dark surfaces

Suitable for testing solid materials and coatings > 1 µm thick, test-force range 0.1 – 2000 mN

Thermally stable and resistant to vibrations: measures for several hours without external influences

Programmable sample stage for automated testing of multiple measurement points

Microscope with magnification levels from 4x to 40x for exact positioning of the measuring spot

Modular design enables customer-specific configurations or future upgrades of the device

Indenters: Vickers, Berkovich, carbide ball, Knoop or customized indenters

Powerful WIN-HCU software for intuitive operation and evaluation

Applications

Measurement of the hardness and elasticity of paint layers, for example automotive paint finishes

Testing of anodized layers

Instrumented indentation testing of hard material coatings, e. g. on tools

Characterization of surfaces in research and development, for example hard chrome or ceramic coatings on medical implants

Series testing in electroplating

Quality assurance of circuit boards, e. g. testing thin gold coatings or insulating layers 

Hardness testing on complex-shaped parts like housings

Characterization of composite materials
