LNP 3DC
LNP® 3DC is an advanced automated measurement workstation from the LNP Work Solutions range. It is based on the high-precision LNP® nano touch force-displacement sensor and, compared with LNP® 2, extends sample positioning with a motorized DC cross table offering an 80 × 80 mm travel range.
The motorized Z-axis, motorized XY stage, and four-axis control enable automated positioning and repeated measurements at predefined locations on the sample. The system is equipped with a 5 MP USB 3.0 camera with a telecentric lens and LED ring illumination for precise visual inspection of the measurement point.
LNP® nano touch Advanced software supports the creation of measurement procedures and evaluation of both standardized and analytical methods. Depending on the probe tip, accessories, and selected configuration, the workstation can be used for applications such as IRHD-M, VLRH, Shore, modulus measurement, Young’s modulus, hardness topography, adhesion, microtribology, rheological measurements, and spatially resolved DMA.
