3D Scratch And Indentation Tester Overview
- Patented In-line 3D Profilometer
- Nano scratch, Micro scratch, Macro scratch
- Optimized 3D profilometer at nm resolution for any surface
- Scratch Flat or curved surface
The indentation and scratch testers analyze scratch adhesion, hardness, modulus, and scratch resistance. It provides analysis at nano, micro, and macro scale.
In addition, the in-line integrated profilometer provides 3D stitched images. These images characterize the coating failures. Advanced capacitive sensors measure penetration depth. They provide measurements with the resolution needed to differentiate coatings with similar properties.
For this reason, Rtec-Instruments has developed a simple method to test coating adhesion for various applications. Examples are: wear resistance on cutting tools, the film thickness on transparent lenses, or the hardness of automotive coatings.
