Fischer-Cripps Laboratories Pty Ltd is a company first registered in New South Wales, Australia in 1966. The company has a long history of manufacturing and consultancy. In 1999 Dr Cripps took over the UMIS project from Professor Swain at CSIRO and in 2005, the company formally took on the UMIS product as a commercial undertaking. Fischer-Cripps Laboratories redeveloped UMIS with numerous improvements and reduction in price to the IBIS nanoindenter.
Facilities
Fischer-Cripps Laboratories Pty Ltd has its own well-equipped mechanical and electrical workshops and test laboratory in the northern suburbs of metropolitan Sydney, about 12 kms from the city centre. The team consists of a small number of dedicated professionals who have been with the program for many years and are committed to maintaining our excellent reputation for reliability and precision nanoindentation.
Every instrument is made on top quality machine tools by craftsmen dedicated to the task. Each and every instrument is rigorously tested and personally signed off by Dr Cripps to ensure that your purchase will work accurately and reliably after installation and for many years to come.
CustomersWe very much value the personal relationships we have established with our customers. Many early UMIS's are now on their second generation of owners and with the availability of an upgrade path, continue to be valuable precision instruments that continue to provide reliable, accurate materials measurement data. The new IBIS instrument preserves the robustness and precision of the original patented UMIS design. The new IBIS software for UMIS and IBIS is continually upgraded to include the latest advances in nanoindentation theory and practice.
