The task of identifying nanoscale defects is a very time consuming process for engineers working with media and flat substrates. Park NX-HDM is an atomic force microscopy system that speeds up the defect review process by an order of magnitude through automated defect identification, scanning and analysis. Park NX-HDM links directly with a wide range of optical inspection tools, thus significantly increasing the automatic defect review throughput. In addition, Park NX-HDM provides accurate sub-angstrom surface roughness measurements, scan after scan. Park NX-HDM, together with its industry's lowest noise floor, and its unique True Non-Contact™ technology, it is the most accurate AFM for surface roughness measurement in the market.

6-Axis Robotic Automated Testing System
AT6
-
The Instron AT6 is a flexible, robot-assisted testing solution featuring six axes of motion, purpose-built to automate tensile, compression, flexural, and lap shear testing in alignment with widely used ASTM and ISO standards. Its modular design accommodates a broad array of materials—including metals, polymers, elastomers, films, composites, and sutures—at force capacities up to 600 kN. Capable of processing up to 500 specimens without operator intervention, the AT6 enables true unattended or “lights-out” operation, significantly increasing throughput around the clock. Optional modules include stations for specimen measurement, automated strain measurement, environmental temperature chambers, and multiple test frames for simultaneous testing. The system also integrates smoothly with auxiliary devices such as durometers, hardness testers, and surface roughness testers, making it a robust solution for high-volume, high-efficiency testing environments.

Scanning Probe Microscopy/Atomic Force Microscopy (SPM/AFM Analysis)
-
Rocky Mountain Laboratories, Inc.
Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) refers to a family of measurement techniques that utilize a scanning probe. The most common measurement is Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM Analysis), which measures surface topography. Imaged areas can be from the nm scale to as large as 100 µm X 100 µm. Heights and depths of features can be measuredand many surface roughness parameters, e.g Ra, can be calculated. 3-D images can also be produced for dramatic data presentation. Magnetic and electrical response can also be measured with SPM.

Roughness Testers
-
Roughness is an important parameter when trying to find out whether a surface is suitable for a certain purpose. Rough surfaces often wear out more quickly than smoother surfaces. Rougher surfaces are normally more vulnerable to corrosion and cracks, but they can also aid in adhesion. A roughness tester is used to quickly and accurately determine the surface texture or surface roughness of a material. A roughness tester shows the measured roughness depth (Rz) as well as the mean roughness value (Ra) in micrometers or microns (µm). Measuring the roughness of a surface involves applying a roughness filter. Different international standards and surface texture or surface finish specifications recommend the use of different roughness filters. For example, a Gaussian filter often is recommended in ISO standards.
