The FISCHERSCOPE® ST200 is Fischer's first automatic scratch-test system for characterizing hard material layers. Easily check the adhesion and cohesive strength of layers ≥1 μm thick. The instrument is ideal for use in development, quality assurance, incoming goods control and production monitoring.
Features
Diverse measurement modes with progressive, constant or incrementally increasing test force
Measure according to the following norms: ASTM C1624, ISO 20502 and DIN EN 1071-3
Force control for measuring on curved surfaces
Three analysis methods: optical microscopy, friction force, acoustic emission
Intuitive user interface – only a brief familiarization is required to use the instrument
Fast measurements with motorized XY-stage and Z-axis
Easy creation of test reports
Applications
Testing how well thin coatings adhere to their substrates
Automated measurements with high sample throughput
Hard material coatings (PVD, CVD)
Components for vehicle engines and drivetrains
Electroplated layers (decorative, functional)
Characterization of hard anodized coatings
Special materials for medical technology
Electronic components, plugs, etc.
Layers applied via plasma treatment
