Multi Function Tribometer

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Multi Function Tribometer MFT-2000 is a sophisticated benchtop device designed for mechanical, scratch, and tribological testing. It features an open platform architecture, automated test programs, and advanced controllers for precise measurements. The device supports various tests including scratch, wear, and profilometry on a single platform.

Active Feedback Loop Control
The MFT-2000 includes closed-loop active feedback controls, utilizing electro-servo drives for force application and high-precision sensors for force measurement. It supports constant or variable force profiles and RPM, with environmental control options for temperature management.

Accurate Determination of Failure Events
The tribometer can integrate in-line sensors for real-time surface dynamics monitoring, such as acoustic emission sensors for detecting crack initiation.

Ease of Use and Automation
The instrument is equipped with comprehensive software for control, analysis, and imaging, allowing data export in various formats. Tests can be automated using command blocks, and the system features high-speed data acquisition.

Integrated Imaging
The MFT-2000 includes a patented in-line 3D profilometer for high-resolution surface mapping, capable of nm resolution. The XY stage facilitates quick stitching of wear tracks.

Applications
The MFT-2000 is versatile, suitable for testing various materials and surfaces, including thin/thick films, lubricants, biomaterials, and more.

Platform Specification
  • XY stage: 150 x 200 mm range, 1 µm repeatability, 50 mm/s max speed
  • Multiple Z stage: 150 mm range, 0.1 µm resolution, 10 mm/s max speed
  • Environmental chambers: -35°C to 1000°C, 5 to 95% RH

Surface Inspection and Test Modules
The device supports various imaging modules like 3D microscopes and confocal microscopes, and test modules for tribo-corrosion and acoustic emission.
