Benchtop indentation hardness tester FISCHERSCOPE HM2000 S

cost-effective

Simply place the sample and start measuring A precise measuring device doesn’t have to be complicated. The FISCHERSCOPE® HM2000 S nanoindentation system proves that. This cost-effective, entry-level device from Fischer allows you to quickly and easily check the mechanical and elastic properties of surface layers, usually without any sample preparation at all. Simply place the sample on the measuring head, clamp down the support stand, and you’re ready to go. Instrumented indentation testing determines parameters such as the Martens and Vickers hardness, elasticity and creep behavior of various types of surface treatments. The HM2000 S is finds application in a variety of industries, e.g. in paint production or electroplating. We believe in developing long-lasting and flexible devices: If your measurement technology requirements change, the entry-level model can be upgraded to the automated HM2000.
