PICODENTOR® HM 500

The PICODENTOR® HM 500 combines high-end technology with simple operation. The device is designed for excellent instrumented nanoindentation testing and dynamic mechanical analysis. It allows depth-dependent determination of material parameters such as Martens or Vickers hardness and the modulus of penetration.

The HM500’s excellent force and displacement resolution make it possible to analyze coatings in the nanometer range. This provides a level of accuracy usually found only in the very complex – and much more expensive – measuring instruments.
