The MultiRange Nanoprobe extends the testing capability of the TI Series TriboIndenter^® systems by increasing the load range of the instrument to 10 Newtons. This indenter head employs piezoresistive technology to allow high load/large displacement indentation and provides an invaluable tool for the study of fracture and interfacial delamination.

The MultiRange Nanoprobe features:

• Operation in load or displacement control mode
• Unique piezo loading/capacitive sensing system offers superior stability and low thermal drift
• Tunable design provides flexibility for custom engineered maximum normal load

The MultiRange Nanoprobe may be used in combination with the High Load Scratch Option, which increases the capabilities of the MultiRange Nanoprobe system to include lateral force features.

The High Load Scratch Option offers multi-directional force sensing that allows for scratch testing to be performed and accurately measured in any direction over any length. The ability to perform lateral testing on a sample greatly increases the potential of the system by allowing for further fracture/delamination studies as well as coefficient of friction and profilometry measurements of samples

The High Load Scratch Option features:

• Incorporates scratch testing to an existing MultiRange Nanoprobe system
• Unique 3D force sensing design
• Increased scratch length and velocity for tribological studies
