PICODENTOR® HM500

Automated hardness tester for particularly fine instrumented indentation testing and dynamic mechanical analysis.

Availability depending on region and country.

The PICODENTOR® HM500 combines high-end technology with easy handling. The hardness tester is designed for particularly fine instrumental indentation testing and dynamic mechanical analysis. It allows the depth-dependent determination of material quantities such as Martens or Vickers hardness and the elastic indentation modulus - and does so absolutely reliably and precisely. The measuring system impresses with a programmable measuring table, a high-intensity microscope and reduces the influence of external influences thanks to its clever design.
