UNMT-1, UMT-2 AND UMT-3

Technical Highlights
Precision SERVO-CONTROL of loads, speeds, and

positions for uniquely reproducible data and highly
productive tests, e.g., repeatable different loads on
different specimen areas for multi-test results from
single tests
MULTIPLE SYNCHRONIZED linear and rotary motions
of upper and lower specimens in all X, Y and Z axes,
including oscillations (up to 60 Hz), for sophisticated
multi-axis tests, e.g., with spiral, zigzag or butterfly
scratch/wear tracks
MULTIPLE CHAMBERS with computer controlled
temperature (-25 to 1000oC), humidity (10 to 95% RH),
vacuum (up to 10-6 Torr), gases
All motion and sensor modules are easily
INTERCHANGEABLE within a few minutes

TEST SCHEMATICS (EXAMPLES)

STANDARD
MULTIPLE SENSORS for IN-SITU test monitoring:

- ultra-precision force sensors of the proprietary
technology and patented design (1 mN to 1 kN)
- 6-D sensors for simultaneous measurements of 3
forces and 3 torques in all X, Y and Z axes
- high-frequency acoustic emission sensors of the
proprietary design, ultra-sensitive to tiniest cracks
and wear
- wear and deformation sensors of micro (0.5 micron)
and nano (20 nm) resolution
- contact and surface electrical resistance (mOhms to
MOhms) for detection of film failure or buildup
- temperature and humidity sensors
- integrated vision system for micro-positioning and
digital video of the failure dynamics
- integrated AFM for periodic nano-imaging of test
surfaces, wear tracks, indents and scratches
