What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Bond testers measure the strength of bonds by applying controlled forces in pull, shear, or peel modes. The BT 4000 W is a manual-load bond tester, meaning the operator places each sample into the test station by hand.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A bond tester operates by bringing a test tool — such as a hook, shear cartridge, or clamp — into contact with the bond feature. A load cell measures the force applied as the tool moves, and the system records the peak force at failure or at a preset limit.

Manual-load bond testers typically offer a workstage with micrometer or joystick positioning, a microscope or camera for alignment, and software to log test results.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include qualification of new bonders, process characterization, failure analysis, and periodic sample testing in high-reliability industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical electronics.
