AYLESBURY, UK – Nordson Dage has developed a new test method for the evaluation of die strength by means of cantilever bending, where three-point bending is not suitable for die with a thickness of fewer than 50µm.

Cantilever bend uses the shear action and step-back capability of the 4000Plus, combined with fixturing and software to bend the die at a fixed height (the loading height) from the datum plane.

The method enables the calculation of flexural strength in Megapascals (Mpa) at the point of break.

Cantilever bend is the result of work with SEMI.
