“ Easy to operate : - Challenge : indentation testing is a complex and important method to learn more about material surface properties, which are usually directly related to their performance in an end product. In addition to a certain budget, an expert is necessary to operate the instrument - Solution : Hit 300 comes with a few features that make indentation testing finally accessible for everyone. The indenter is already mounted, and, if necessary, a calibration can be done in less than 15 minutes. A top surface reference ring protects the indenter from collision and deletes the falsifying influence of thermal. The software is intuitive and leads you through the workflow step by step. - Benefit : you finally have the possibility to measure your material in-house. All results are at hand immediatly, and every lab technician will be able to operate the instrument Hit the target : - Challenge : measuring a small sample or reaching a specific measurement area is difficult. Usually, an optical microscope is required, which is expensive and time-consuming - Solution : thanks to a unique integrated laser cross, you can directly locate the spot on the sample's surface where the measurements have to be done - Benefit : benefit from a targeting accuracy below 1 mm Unshakeable : - Challenge : nanoindentation testing is a very sensitive method, highly affected by mechanical vibrations leading to inaccurate results - Solution : Hit 300 integrates an active electronic anti-vibration table that damps vibrations 4 times faster than conventional air vibration isolation tables - Benefit : install your instrument wherever you need it, from laboratories to production facilities Robust : - Challenge : nanoindentation testers are usually fragile instruments, making them unfit for tasks such as quality control in heavy-duty industry - Solution : Hit 300 is the most robust nanohardness tester on the market. All parts have been tested with the highest lifetime specifications - Benefit : we are confident in Hit 300's stability to stand up to even the thoughest jobs, so we offer a 3-year warranty with zera mandatory maintenance Training 1 hour : - Challenge : nanoindentation testers are complex instruments. New users typically need 1 to 2 days of intensive training before being able to start measuring their own samples. - Solution : Hit 300 is delivered fully configured, so the installation is done in less than 15 minutes. It is so easy to operate that user trainings usually take only 1 hour - Benefit : start measuring on the same day that the instrument is delivered and train other users whenever necessary ”
