Triboindenter – Hysitron TI 900

Sections
Text Area

The TI 900 Triboindenter has been developed as an automated, high-throughput instrument that has been built on a single platform designed to support the numerous nanomechanical characterization techniques. Potential detriments to test stability and accuracy such as ambient acoustic noise, air currents, laboratory temperature variations, and vibration are minimized through active and passive damping and a custom instrument enclosure.
