MicroPhysics Guzik Spinstand Helium/Altitude Chamber -
The MicroPhysics Guzik Spinstand Helium/Altitude Chamber allows electrical testing at altitude and/or in a Helium environment.  The spinstand sits inside an altitude chamber and electrical cabling and feedthroughs are provided to allow the control electronics to sit outside the chamber. The chamber can pump down to below 10 Torr for purging prior to adding helium and there is an option for glove-box gloves and airlock chambers to reduce helium consumption during the HGA changing operation.

MicroPhysics Flying Height Tester -
The MicroPhysics Flying Height Tester (FHT) uses a new type of interferometry (patent-pending) to burst through the sub 10 nm measurement barrier.  No retract calibration removes the greatest cause of error in industry-standard flying height measurements with much easier system set-up.

MicroPhysics Dynamic Protrusion Tester -
The MicroPhysics Dynamic Protrusion Tester (DPT) allows measurement of slider deformation due to thermal controlled flying height.  Slider deformation is measured while flying on a glass disk with one micron lateral resolution and sub-Angstrom vertical resolution.

MicroPhysics Tape Head Tester -
The MicroPhysics Tape Head Tester (THT) is designed for high-speed electrical testing of magnetic tape heads in both engineering and manufacturing environments. The THT uses a loop of magnetic tape so that writing and read back can be accomplished quickly without the need to rewind tape. Parametric tests include: Track Average Amplitude, PW-50, Overwrite, MR and Write Current Saturation, Resolution, Time Asymmetry, and Noise Tests. The THT can be customized for linear and helical technologies.

MicroPhysics Tape Spacing Analyzer-
The MicroPhysics Tape Spacing Analyzer (TSA) is a flying-height tester for magnetic storage tape. The TSA measures head/tape spacing using real magnetic tape and transparent replica heads, or with real heads using transparent media. Using the TSA, the tape surface can be characterized in situ with head/tape contact effects.

MicroPhysics SliderLab -
SliderLab is a numerical simulation that integrates a graphical pre and post processor with a finite element air bearing solver to allow simple analysis of nominal flying-height and flying-height variation as a function of various parameters.  

MicroPhysics TapeLabH - 
TapeLabH is an extension of TapeLab which allows modeling of the helical head/tape interface including the drum with slots.  

MicroPhysics TapeLab - 
TapeLab is a finite element numerical simulation of the head/tape interface. TapeLab can model spacing, contact pressure, tape lapping, and wear.
