Abstract: A method for the analysis of surface measurements, in particular scratch tests, wear tests or profilometric measurements, wherein a graph with displayable curves in the form of measuring curves of already analyzed results with an X-axis as a coordinate axis along a measuring path is laid over a live image or subsequently over a stored image of the measuring section such that the X-coordinates in the image coincide with the X-coordinates of the curves.

Abstract: A device for high precision generation and measurement of forces (both pressure and tension) and displacements along a single axis includes a shaft for transferring the forces along an axis X. At least two biased first leaf springs are attached to the shaft and clamped at each end. The device has great rigidity in an axis Y perpendicular to the axis X in which the forces and displacements are generated.

Abstract: A test table for measuring lateral forces and displacements while simultaneously applying, if necessary, normal forces, particularly in nanoidenters and in scratch and wear testers. The test table is mounted in a manner that enables it to be laterally displaced, and the lateral force and displacement can be determined by means of a measured-value acquisition. The test table is fixed between at least two vertically upright leaf springs, which can be laterally deflected in the direction of the lateral (horizontal) motion of the test table to be effected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a test table for measuring lateral forces and displacements while simultaneously applying, if necessary, normal forces, particularly in nanoidenters and in scratch and wear testers. To this end, the test table is mounted in a manner that enables it to be laterally displaced, and the lateral force and displacement can be determined by means of a measured-value acquisition. According to the invention, the test table (1) is fixed between at least two vertically upright leaf springs (3), which can be laterally deflected in the direction of the lateral (horizontal) motion of the test table (1) to be effected.
