Dage 4000HS High Speed Bond Tester

The Nordson DAGE 4000HS bond tester is based upon the industry standard Nordson DAGE 4000 multi-purpose bond tester platform. The 4000HS has significant differences to the mode of operation for both shear and pull modes with speeds up to 4m/sec for shear and 1.3m/s for pull. The 4000HS bond tester also offers advanced analysis options, specifically force versus displacement graphs and energy

The Nordson DAGE 4000HS bondtester provides high speed bondtesting for the assessment of failure mode rather than measurement of failure force. 

Suitable for:

• High strain rate testing up to 5kg pull and 5kg shear

• High speed zone shear testing up to 80kg at 600mm/second

• Impact testing applications (as an alternative to 3 and 4 point bend testing and drop testing)

• Brittle fracture joint failure analysis

• Lead free solder ball joint evaluaton

• Shear testing multiple ballbond simultaneously

Solder ball joint integrity has always been an important issue in device manufacture, but never more so than with the introduction of lead-free solder. Although lead-free joints can be stronger, it has been noticed that they are particularly susceptible to brittle fractures at the component interface (intermetallic region) and pad-cratering at the board interface. Such failures can occur over the full life cycle of a joint, from manufacturing through testing to end use of the product itself. As the incidence of such failures has increased with the introduction of lead-free materials, the industry has acknowledged an urgent need for improved testing techniques. However, interest in brittle fracture and pad-cratering is not limited to lead-free; many solder alloys and pad surface finishes can be equally problematic.

we know that many users collect data on the same product from multiple machines, either on the same site or even different sites, and need to be sure that the data will correlate with ultimate integrity given identical configurations and test parameters.

Intelligent Software
The 4000Plus utilizes Paragon™ software which boasts a highly configurable and intuitive interface as well as a wide variety of advanced functionality such as automatic GR&R calculation, built-in diagnostics, a unique database search engine wizard and superior reporting.
