FISCHERSCOPE® ST 200 Automated scratch tester

In the area of surface technology, coatings have long been high-tech products. Especially with coatings meant to protect such parts as cutting tools from wear, how well the coating adheres to the substrate is decisive for its reliability and service life. The scratch test is an established method for simulating in a laboratory setting the stresses that a coating undergoes in everyday use. Particularly suitable for R & D, quality assurance and incoming goods inspection is the FISCHERSCOPE® ST 200 - Fischer's automated scratch test system. It tests the adhesive and cohesive strength of thin coatings...

Convenient operation and evaluation The FISCHERSCOPE ST 200 has a powerful microscope for automatically detecting and precisely evaluating the course of the scratch. In addition, the tangential force, the penetration depth and the acoustic emissions are measured. The intuitive WinSCU® software combines all three parameters in just one evaluation in real time: the critical loads are thus defined in just a few mouse clicks. The FISCHERSCOPE ST 200 is designed for easy operation. And with just one USB cable, you can easily connect the scratch tester to any computer. The programmable measuring stage...
