With the Nanoworkbench from Klocke Nanotechnik measuring forces and distances is very fast, easy and secure. Force – Distance Measurements need: - Absolute positioning accuracy with single nm resolution =>Most manipulators can only carry a force sensor without knowing its position: They have nooption for Force-Distance and e.g. elasticity measurements - Different force sensors for soft and hard samples are needed, together with the option to fix special tips at them by microassembly. - Different orientations and approach directions of force sensor and sample The features of the Nanoworkbench enable in addition: - Live Image Positioning to direct the force sensor in XY to the target area just by mouse-click into the SEM image. - Nanofinger® Scouting for a fast and secure automatic approach of the force sensor towards the sample, also on isolators. - The Sequencer can embed pre-defined Force-Distance measurements into complete processes and macros. - 1 nm movement resolution - different force sensors for soft or hard samples are available - force range from lower µN to mN range - different tips can be added optionally, e.g.for indent measurements - Force-Distance measurement is a standard application package of the Nanoworkbench - It is also available as a standalone module - It can be combined with any of our Nanorobotics and automation, even in our micro production systems.
