      Vertical concept with 2 Z-axes<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      There are decisive benefits in distributing vertical movement across 2 axes. Via the first Z-axis there is dynamic motion control, allowing the indenter to be positioned towards the test surface quickly and conveniently at up to 30mm\/s. The additional second Z-axis in the QATM system offers a high-resolution positioning system for greater precision in force application and focusing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
