Brake performance changes with load, speed, temperature, and cooling. Your test conditions should account for them.

NANOVEA Pneumatic Tribometers provide controlled, high-load and high-torque brake testing for advanced R&D and quality control.

Capabilities include:
• Precise speed and torque control
• Pneumatic high-load configuration
• Real-time wear and coefficient of friction measurement
• Rapid air cooling
• Custom chambers and testing configurations

Some surfaces are so delicate that measuring them can change them.

For soft, compliant, or translucent materials, contact with the measurement probe can deform, scratch, or move the surface.

In this application note, NANOVEA demonstrates how the ST400 Non-Contact Profilometer captures 3D topography, surface roughness, flatness, surface area, and profile geometry from an extremely soft and translucent material without physical contact or sample preparation.

We are pleased to be part of the 41st National Conference of the Italian Metallurgical Association (AIM) at the University of Brescia in Italy.

The conference brings together more than 250 researchers, professors, engineers, and industry professionals working across metallurgy, metallic materials, manufacturing, and materials characterization.

From sustainability and steelmaking decarbonization to circular manufacturing, advanced materials, and digital production, the topics being discussed reflect many of the challenges shaping modern materials engineering.

NANOVEA supports this work through advanced solutions for surface characterization, mechanical testing, tribology, nanoindentation, scratch testing, and 3D profilometry.

Perfect samples make easy measurements. Real surfaces are rarely perfect.

Curved, steeply angled, transparent, reflective, rough, smooth, or difficult to position. These are not exceptions. They are the surfaces engineers actually need to measure.

NANOVEA Non-Contact 3D Profilometers are developed for real-world surface characterization across challenging materials and geometries, without touching or damaging the sample.

Some surfaces cannot be brought into the laboratory.
That should not mean settling for limited surface data.

The NANOVEA JR25 Portable Optical Profilometer delivers lab-quality, non-contact 2D and 3D surface measurements wherever the sample is located. Its compact design and rotating measurement head provide access to large, complex, and difficult-to-position surfaces without sacrificing measurement capability.

Implanted medical devices don't get a second chance. When a stent coating delaminates, it doesn't fail in the lab, it fails inside the patient's body, under load, over time.

That's why quantifying coating adhesion on drug-eluting stents isn't just a materials question. It's a human life question.

In this study, we show how the NANOVEA PB1000 Nano Scratch Tester measures cohesive and adhesive failure in polymer coatings on stent mesh.

How does steel hardness change as temperatures rise?

NANOVEA evaluated steel from room temperature to 925°C using high temperature Brinell hardness testing with the NANOVEA T2000 Tribometer.

The study examines material behavior under extreme thermal conditions relevant to aerospace, defense, propulsion, and other high-temperature applications.

Surface failures in dental materials are measurable, predictable, and preventable.

In this application note, we break down how 3D optical profilometry captures full tooth topography and delivers ISO 25178 surface parameters with high precision, without contact or sample prep.

If you're still relying on limited 2D measurements, you're missing the full picture.
