In this application note it will be explained how the Nanovea Micro Module Tester has been designed to offer the world’s leading instrumented indentation and scratch testing. Now capable of testing from loads of 0.03N up to 200N or even 400N on one tool combined with a highly accurate and repeatable stage. Load data is collected from load cells while depth is measured from a high precision capacitor depth sensor. High structural stiffness of the system ensures the instrument is as reliable and as accurate at low loads as it is at high loads.
