Advanced BioInterface Technologies (ABITech)

Our triboscopes provide comprehensive tribological analysis. They can run JKR type adhesion tests in dry and lubricated conditions, measuring forces down 1 mN sampling at 1 kHz. These triboscopes can run classical pin-on-disk and ball-on-flat tests while measuring contact areas and contact pressures through phase contrast, and frustrated total internal reflection methods. They can perform contact lubrication gap mapping with epifluorescence and percolation analysis on seals.
 They can also source high voltages at high frequencies and measure contact capacitance and resistance for electrified contacts. These systems are fully automated and easy to set up. They come in two different models, one of which is modular and designed to easily switch from adhesion tests to friction tests in a few seconds.
