ASMEC Advanced Surface Mechanics GmbH, a spin-off of the Institute of Physics of the Technical University of Chemnitz, provides hardware, software and services for the characterization and analysis of surface mechanical properties in micro and nano ranges.

This company sells the Universal Nanomechanical Tester (UNAT) to measure mechanical properties surface in micro and nano ranges with maximum force of 2N.

UNAT’s unique feature is the creation of two completely independent measuring heads for calculating normal and lateral load-displacement curves with nanometer resolution.
