The Hysitron nanoTensile 5000 is an automated, 3D sensing, nanometer-scale precision tensile instrument for the testing of small-scale material specimens and miniaturised devices. The instrument provides a 3-axis load measurement and is isolated from external force and acoustic and thermal disturbances. Combining the most valuable aspects of Hysitron’s industry-leading mechanical test technology, the nanoTensile 5000 enables simplified small-scale tensile testing by providing materials researchers with a state-of-the-art instrument which, in its design, inherently solves the various scale-related challenges that complicate the investigation of exceedingly small specimens.
The challenge of axial specimen alignment is addressed by the nanotensile transducer head that automatically aligns the specimen without the need for user intervention. In addition, data from these same off-axis force sensing capabilities can be recorded during the tensile test to reveal previously-inaccessible information on material deformation and failure processes and mechanisms. Finally, a customisable gripper and mounting platform interface accommodates application-specific tensile grippers as well as ‘pull test’ arrangements for the characterisation of small-scale devices and materials.
