Hardness test indenter iMicro

The iMicro nanoindenter features the InForce 1000 actuator for performing nanoindentation tests and universal nanomechanical tests, and can optionally add the InForce 50 actuator to test softer materials. The InView software is a flexible, modern software package that makes nanoscale testing easy. The iMicro nanoindenter is a compact platform with the high-speed InQuest controller and vibration isolation gantry built in to the iMicro enclosure. An extensive range of materials and devices can be tested, including metals, ceramics, composites, thin films, coatings, polymers, biomaterials and gels. • InForce 1000 actuator for capacitance displacement measurement and electromagnetic force actuation with interchangeable tips • Optional InForce 50 actuator provides maximum 50mN normal force for measuring soft materials, and optional Gemini 2D force transducer for two-axis dynamic measurement. Unique software-integrated tip-calibration system for fast, accurate tip calibration • InQuest high-speed controller electronics with 100kHz data acquisition rate and 20µs time constant • XY motion system with easy mounting magnetic sample holder • High stiffness gantry with integrated vibration isolation • Integrated microscope with digital zoom for precise indentation targeting • ISO 14577 and standardized test methods • InView software package with RunTest, ReviewData, InFocus reporting, InView University online training and InView mobile application Applications • Hardness and modulus measurements (Oliver-Pharr) • High speed material property maps • ISO 14577 hardness testing
