Mechanical Surface Testing Platforms:
Step

  • +4
Model:
  • One head can be mounted
  • Motorized x (75 mm), y (75 mm), z (30 mm) tables
  • Optional optical video microscope available (incl. objective x5)

Step platforms are the basis for Anton Paar’s mechanical surface testing heads. Use combined modules (instrumented indentation, scratch, nanotribology) on one platform or apply a single test method with a stand-alone device. All platforms feature high positioning accuracy (<1 µm) over a great length and a one-click position synchronization from video microscope to indenter tip. Customized synthetic granite ensures enhanced vibration damping. Tailor-made glove box / vacuum chamber platforms are available on request. 

Key features

Step 100

Step 100

Step 100 can be equipped with the micro combi tester MCT³ and comes with motorized x (75 mm), y (75 mm), z (30 mm) tables. An optional optical video microscope (incl. objective x5) can be ordered. No anti-vibration table is included. 

Step 300

Step 300

Step 300 can be equipped with one head. Its anti-vibration table gives you more choice of options: the micro combi tester MCT³, the nanoindentation tester NHT³, the nano scratch tester NST³, and the bioindenter UNHT³ Bio. Motorized x (75 mm), y (75 mm) and z (30 mm) tables, and an optical video microscope (incl. objective x5) are included. 

Step 500

Step 500

Up to three heads can be mounted on Step 500. Freely combine the micro combi tester MCT³, the nanoindentation tester NHT³, the nano scratch tester NST³, and the Bioindenter UNHT³ Bio. Step 500 comes with an anti-vibration table, motorized x (215 mm), y (75 mm), z (30 mm) tables, and an optical video microscope (incl. objective x5).

Step 700 Noise-Control

Step 700 Noise-Control

Step 700 Noise-Control – the most sophisticated model – allows you to combine up to three heads, including the most sensitive ones. In addition to the micro combi tester MCT³, the nanoindentation tester NHT³, the nano scratch tester NST³, and the Bioindenter UNHT³ Bio, you can also mount the ultra nanoindentation tester UNHT³ or an atomic force microscope. The acoustic enclosure and an active anti-vibration table deliver precise results. Motorized x (215 mm), y (75 mm), z (30 mm) tables and an optical video microscope (incl. objective x5) are included.
