SMT-5000

Indentation and 3D Scratch Tester

ISO-compliant instrumented indentation and scratch tester, patented and integrated with an in-line 3D profilometer for comprehensive surface characterization

The SMT-5000 is a compact surface materials testing system featuring a patented integrated 3D profilometer. This versatile all-in-one modular platform enables hardness measurements through instrumented indentation, scratch adhesion and cohesion testing, scratch hardness evaluation, film thickness measurement, and multi-pass wear analysis at both nano and micro scales. Every indentation and scratch test is performed with high accuracy and complies with ISO and ASTM standards.

Main Features

  • Combined nano and micro scratch testing capabilities on a single platform.

  • Non-destructive and contact-based film thickness measurement.

  • Patented in-line 3D imaging and analysis of scratch tracks.

  • Direct application and measurement of normal and tangential forces at the sample surface.

  • Automatic correlation between 3D profilometry data and scratch test results.
