发明名称 Cartridge for a bond testing machine comprising a plurality of test tools
摘要 A cartridge suitable for use in a bond testing machine, the cartridge comprising: a plurality of a different test tools; a rotary mechanism, each of the plurality of different test tools mounted to the rotary mechanism angularly spaced from one another; a drive unit, coupled to the rotary mechanism, the drive unit configured to rotate the rotary mechanism to move each of the plurality of different test tools to and from a use position; and an air interface for receiving compressed air from a corresponding air interface on a positioning assembly of the bond testing machine. The bond test machine receives feedback regarding which tool is in the use position, and in response switches a compressed air supply on or off as appropriate to suit the test tool in use. The cartridge preferably includes an improved Geneva mechanism that locks the test tools in their desired rotational positions. The cartridge also preferably includes a mounting plate for the test tools that has identical test tool connection areas so that any test tool can be connected to any tool connection area. Providing a plurality of test tools that can be selectively moved to a use position within a single cartridge allows an operator to change tools without having to demount and remount different test tool cartridges when a different test tool is required. This improves the ease of operation and saves the operator time. Novel methods for use of the cartridge are also described.
