CSM Instruments offers a complete range of instruments for tribological studies and mechanical surface testing. The independent laboratory of CSM Instruments also provides surface analysis for numerous industries on a wide range of materials: metals, semiconductors, polymers, ceramics, …

//// Macro, Micro and Nano Scratch Testers are dedicated for :
> Adhesion properties of coatings and thin films
> Mar resistance of paints and varnishes
> Characterization of mechanical surface properties
> Profilometry

//// Micro and Nano Indentation Testers are used for :
> Elastic modulus and Hardness measurements
> Quantitative measurement of mechanical surface properties
> Analysis of fracture modes (fracture toughness), cracking, stress distribution

//// Micro and Nano Tribometer
> Characterization of wear, friction, and erosion-corrosion of mechanical parts
> Tribological studies in different environments to simulate real conditions

//// 3D Imaging
> Scanning Force Microscope (SFM, AFM, STM, …)
> 3D topography, video microscope, ...

All these instruments are dedicated to thin film coating (ex : TIN TAIN, DLC, ...) instruments are use on metals, ceramics or polymers materials, not only for coating but also for bulk materials!
Main users are from Industry or educational university working on glasses, tools, paints, automotives, hard disk drive, MEMS, IC (integrated circuits), cosmetic, watch.
CSM is worldwide represented by a network of distributors.
