PMU on Condor EZ

With the Pull Measurement Unit (PMU), XYZTEC offers a dedicated single load cell cartridge for measuring all kinds of vertically tested bonds, using pull, peel or push methods; either destructive or non-destructive. Typical applications include wire pull testing using a hook, solder ball pull testing using tweezers, solar ribbon peel testing or 4-points wafer bending tests.

Cell phone camera lens push test

For forces up to 40kgf, the PMU is equipped with a built-in 360° rotary motor for manual or automatic tool alignment to the sample under test.

The PMU has one sensor or load cell mounted. The Condor software automatically detects what measurement unit is installed on the system and knows even when to ask for another unit, if the required sensor does not match. Through software, five force ranges are available for the user.

Schematic layout of measurement unit

As the 16-bit AD circuitry is located inside the PMU, the connection to the Condor platform is pure digital. This provides a very robust, reproducible and accurate way of measuring. The serial number, manufacturing data and calibration data is stored in flash memory inside to offer full traceability according ISO-9001.
