Anton Paar: New generation of mechanical surface inspection platforms

Anton Paar's various platform models can be equipped with up to four measuring heads and expand the measuring technologies to include scratch testing, instrumented indentation testing, automatic conventional hardness testing and tribology testing. This ensures an effortless transition from one method to another without having to make any further adjustments. Step can be equipped with a single measuring head or a complete all-in-one system. With Anton Paar's new platform solution, companies are prepared for future upgrades and secure a competitive advantage.

Another big step forward is the new digital microscope. It offers a stepless zoom, an exceptional magnification range (20x to 10,000x) and a seamless transition from panoramic surface overview to maximum magnification. The associated time savings and the brand new user experience round off the product. The new mechanical surface inspection platforms are supported by Anton Paar's 35 subsidiaries around the globe. Anton Paar also offers a three-year warranty on all devices. Anton Paar now fully supports the integration of a platform into a production line for automatic handling, loading and testing of samples. Step is also the only mechanical surface inspection platform on which large samples can be mounted directly from the production line.
