Paint and coating hardness tester FISCHER
HM500, HM2000

Microhardness tester FISCHERSCOPE HM2000 and PICODENTOR HM500

These instruments have been developed according to the latest research results ad are particularly well suited for the following areas of application:
Hard material coatings in general, ultra-thin DLC coatings, dirt-repellent coatings (e.g., sol-gel coatings), coatings for PC hard disks and CDs, very thin lacquer coatings, ion-implanted surfaces, nanocoatings for sensors, implants used in the field of medical technology, matrix effects in alloys, biological materials, ceramic materials.

The design of the micro-hardness instrument combined with the superior evaluation electronics and software allows for a very favorable price/performance ratio. The resolution for applying the test load is about 100 nanonewton and for measuring the indentation depth about 40 picometer.

The maximum test load of the HM500 instrument is 500 mN at a maximum indentation depth of 150 µm. The closed measuring chamber and the active anti-vibration table ensure very accurate measurements with an excellent repeatability precision.
