KEY FEATURES

Hands-On Learning of Nanoindentation Principles

The SMT-1000 enables hands-on learning of instrumented indentation, allowing students to explore load–displacement curves, hardness, and elastic modulus. Through real experiments, users gain a clear understanding of how mechanical properties are measured and analyzed at micro- and nanoscale levels, bridging theory with practical application.

YZ Motorized Stage

Integrated YZ automatic table ensures precise tip calibration and automated measurement lines for consistent results. An optional XYZ table enables advanced mapping and accurate positioning, especially when used with the microscope, providing enhanced surface analysis and efficient navigation for comprehensive and reliable testing workflows.

Optional Optical Microscope

Enhance testing accuracy with advanced sample visualization using an upgradeable optional microscope, allowing clear inspection of surface defects and microstructural features before measurement. Precisely position indentations on targeted areas, ensuring reliable, repeatable results and greater confidence in material characterization.

Ultra-Fast Piezoelectric Actuation

A high-performance piezoelectric actuator drives the nanoindentation process with nanometer-scale precision and ultra-fast response time. This advanced actuation technology enables precise force control and dynamic testing capabilities, ensuring highly repeatable measurements across a wide range of materials.

True Force and True Depth Measurement

The PiQ nanoindenter head integrates independent true force and true depth sensors, providing continuous metrological monitoring throughout the entire indentation cycle. This dual-sensor architecture ensures accurate load and displacement measurements, delivering reliable mechanical property data even for thin films, coatings, and micro-scale structures.
