LNP 323

LNP 323

Fully Automated Measurement Workstation for Mechanical Material Characterization

LNP® 323 represents the highest level of automation within the LNP Work Solutions range. It uses the high-precision LNP® nano touch sensor together with motorized X, Y, and Z axes offering travel ranges of 300 × 300 × 250 mm. This enables automated sample positioning, measurements at predefined coordinates, and extensive measurement series.

The workstation is suitable for research and development, quality control, and applications requiring high repeatability, a large working range, and minimal operator influence. According to the manufacturer, it can be used for applications including IRHD-M, VLRH, Shore, flexural modulus, Young’s modulus, hardness topography, adhesion, microtribology, rheology, and spatially resolved DMA. Availability of a specific method depends on the system configuration, probe tip, accessories, and measurement procedure used.

iNote: The manufacturer may change the specific computer model and its components over time. The current scope of supply stated in the quotation is decisive.

Expansion Options and Accessories

The workstation can be expanded with probe tips, sample-fixturing components, temperature conditioning, tribology equipment, and measurement-system verification accessories.

Temperature

LNP Heating Table PE

Heating table for material characterization at a defined elevated temperature.

Tribology

LNP Tribodetect

Optional sensor for extending the system with microtribological measurement applications.

Fixturing and Reference Standards

Holders, Vises, and Reference Components
