KT 2000 Peel Force Tester
The peel force is a critical parameter for every user of Tape & Reel. If the peel force is too low, the cover tape will not stick on the carrier tape properly and the components may fall out of the pockets. A too high peel force will cause costly down times at the pick & place machines.
The KT 2000 Peel Force Tester from K-TECH is the ideal tool to measure the Peel Force on your production floor. For measuring, a strip of the carrier tape is loaded into the KT 2000 and the cover tape is attached to the sensor. The constant movement of the carrier tape is done with a sprocket wheel. The movement speed is controlled with an encoder. The design of the KT 2000 guaranties the same peel angle and the same peel point during the whole measurement. Before each run, the KT 2000 is doing a self calibration of the sensor.
After each measurement the display is showing the minimum, maximum and average values. A green and a red light are indicating immediately Pass or Fail. A printer or PC can be connected for a printout of the peel graph or for further data analysing. In addition it is possible to generate histograms and to calculate standard deviation and Cpk.
