Nanovea offers its N3 line, designed to provide high-end measurement technology to the broader market. Nanovea has fully automated its measurement techniques.
"The headline of the N3 line, the M3, features nanometer range, controlled load and depth and a competitive price to compete in the $20K market," said a company spokesperson. "This provides universities and smaller R&D units affordable nanoindentation capability under ASTM standard. The indentation method has been made fully automated with no need to visually observe the indent, which eliminates user error or problems with image recognition software that may have issues with material color and texture. Also, this new technology can achieve lower load and will work on thin coatings and all ranges of materials including ceramics, polymers, metals and others. The fully automated system has a touch screen start that gives automatic average of multiple measurements in minutes. The unit is compact and fully contained with only one standard electrical cable to connect.
"The M3 provides measurement capability that until this point targeted very specifically high end research. Essentially, like most technological advancements, price has kept nanoindentation capability out of the reach of the broader market still using standard hardness testing equipment. The M3 will be a significant replacement at an affordable cost."
The M3 is one of three products from Nanovea's new N3 line. Along with the M3, Nanovea has also introduced the P3 and the T3.
"The P3 is a significant advancement with 3D non contact metrology, providing automatic nanometer ISO roughness and step data on nearly any material - a capability unavailable in the $20k market," said the spokesperson. "The P3 will reach a broader market in need of automatic nano through macro roughness data without the high cost associated with a complete Profilometer system.
"The T3, like the P3, was developed to provide quick, easy and affordable access to high end measurement capability. The T3 is an automatic nano wear tester using linear reciprocating, ASTM g133, for wear rate study."
