FAQ
Q: How does this tester handle thin materials?
A: With a maximum load of 1000 N and adjustable speed, it can adapt to thin sections, but the minimum indentation depth is 60 μm, so very thin layers should be evaluated carefully.
Q: Can it measure residual stress?
A: The indentation method can be used to derive residual stress indirectly; please consult our engineers for specific applications.
Q: What power options are available?
A: It operates on 220V wired or 24V wireless power, allowing outdoor and remote use.
Q: Is training provided?
A: Yes, we offer on-site training and technical support.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: Please contact our sales team for warranty details.
