PI 89 Auto
Bruker’s PI 89 Auto brings full automation to our market-leading Hysitron PI 89 SEM PicoIndenter. The new tool facilitates correlative structure-property analysis by automatically moving the advanced Rotation and Tilt Stage (R/T stage) to the indentation position following SEM imaging and EBSD/EDS mapping.
Combining new TriboScan Auto software with this R/T stage enables the PI 89 Auto to achieve previously unattainable high-throughput testing with exceptional precision and control.
PI 89 Auto delivers:
- Seamless switching between nanoindentation, standard SEM imaging, EBSD/EDS analysis;
- Co-localized acquisition of quantitative in-situ mechanical data at user-defined regions of interest from imaging and analytical mapping; and
- Increased throughput without compromising precision or accuracy.
Today’s industrial settings require increasingly fast and accurate materials characterization. The new PI 89 Auto delivers this and the other critical capabilities necessary to revolutionize materials testing in the steel, automotive, aerospace, nuclear, and semiconductor sectors.
Frequently Asked Questions
PI 89 Auto combines the PI 89 platform with automation software and an encoded rotation and tilt (R/T) stage to script positioning and measurement sequences. Encoded linear stages provide positioning accuracy for high‑throughput, repeatable workflows.
Yes. The stage and software are designed to align samples with the electron column and detectors for co‑localized measurements. Automated routines can include mechanical testing plus EBSD and/or EDS mapping within the same session.
PI 89 Auto can perform all of the tests possible with PI 89, in addition to supporting automation and co-located, multi-detector imaging capabilities.
