Universal Tensile Tester

Scope The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is looking to create a modular, flexible, accelerated prototype package assembly and test facility to support developments around vehicle electrification incorporating compound semiconductor devices, modules and systems. This would allow experimentation, feasibility, proof of concept and small prototype volume build. As part of the package assembly research and development methodology, we require a tensiometer for tensile, shear, bending, compression, flexure, rupture and creep analysis. We are further interested in properties at temperature between -40 and 300 °C. The machine would provide build evaluation and validation for met…
