CSM INSTRUMENTS provide the answer for advanced mechanical surface testing in such crucial applications as determining adhesion failure, recording acoustic emission, measuring friction and wear, and determining sliding lifetime, and many more.

The CSEM scratch-testing equipment is widely used for characterising hard-coated materials with a typical coating thickness exceeding 1 µm. Coatings can be organic or inorganic, covering tribological, magnetic and decorative applications, i.e. PVD, CVD, PECVD, metallisation and passivation layers. Substrates include metals, alloys, semiconductors, glass, minerals, refractive and organic materials.

Need to inspect the dimples on a golf ball? Or know the flatness of a razor blade? Or examine the topography of skin? For 3D surface profiling and topography, SCANTRON's PROSCAN 1000 leads the way.

PROSCAN 1000 is a non-contact 3D measuring system for automatic and rapid inspection of parts and surfaces. It employs state-of-the-art laser based displacement probes for z-axis measurement, achieving accuracies down to 0.01 microns. A high precision crossroll stepper motor table is used for x and y position.
