For over 30 years, Micro Materials has been a leading innovator in the highly specialised world of nanomechanics – constantly developing and refining equipment that has consistently set new benchmarks for performance and adaptability. One of our key objectives is to provide multi-functional nanoindenters and nano-mechanical test instrumentation that is intuitive and simple to use. NanoTest Vantage
The NanoTest Vantage system offers a complete range of nanomechanical and nanotribological tests in one flexible and user friendly instrument. With just one test platform a range of mechanical properties can be investigated, allowing a complete picture of material performance to be assembled. NanoTest Extreme
With the NanoTest Vantage, Micro Materials already offers the most comprehensive range of nano-mechanical test options. These are now further extended with the NanoTest Xtreme, which provides a high-vacuum environment for testing at high temperatures up to 1000 ºC and low temperatures down to -100 ºC. Established in 1988 Micro Materials has continually been at the forefront of innovation, with our pioneering approach leading to three world firsts:
- The first commercial nano-scale impact tester, for erosive wear, toughness and contact fatigue.
- First commercial high temperature nanoindentation stage.
- The first liquid cell, allowing the testing of samples which are fully immersed in a fluid.
- Providing innovative, versatile nanomechanical test instrumentation and responding to developments in applications in response to customer and market requirements. The integrity, reliability and accuracy of our equipment is paramount, as is our relationship with our users.
