Helmut Fischer Nano-indentation & Scratch Testing

A precise measuring device doesn’t have to be complicated. The Helmut Fischer 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. 

In material testing, the dynamic method has increasingly come to complement classic nanoindentation. Analogous to dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA), it allows testing of the visco-elastic properties of substances. The Helmut Fischer FISCHERSCOPE® HM2000 determines properties such as the indentation hardness and the depth-dependent elastic modulus – and all of that in the nanometer range!

The Helmut Fischer PICODENTOR® HM 500 combines high-end technology with simple operation. The device is designed for extremely fine instrumented nanoindentation testing and dynamic mechanical analysis. It allows depth-dependent determination of material parameters such as Martens or Vickers hardness and the modulus of penetration.
