Hardness Tester

iMicro - Nanomechanics, Inc.

The iMicro brings all the advantages of nanoindentation into the field of microhardness testing so that any laboratory can measure microhardness with unparalleled speed, accuracy, precision and simplicity, and with the lowest cost-of-ownership on the market. The iMicro is positioned to revolutionize industrial quality-control microhardness testing. With just a few mouse clicks, the operator sets up hundreds of tests on multiple samples. And because modern indentation standards (ISO 14577 and ASTM E2546) prescribe the calculation of Vickers Hardness, Knoop Hardness, and Young''s modulus without imaging the hardness impression, all tests are completely automated. From sample installation to the final report, the entire process is radically faster and easier than what most people expect from a microhardness tester. The up-time requirements of industry are met through a robust, user-friendly design, and Nanomechanics'' unparalleled technical support.
