Abstract
Apparatus for testing adhesion of an adhesive tape to a bonding surface under an applied load includes a test surface of a predetermined configuration to which a test tape may be adhered, a clamping device for grasping a free edge of the test tape, a guide for constraining the clamping device to move linearly relative to the test surface, and an actuator arrangement for driving the clamping device along the guide at a selected speed and with a selected force to apply the force to the test tape. The actuator arrangement includes a first and second linear actuators operable to generate differing ranges of force values, a motor for driving the linear actuators, and a selector arrangement for connecting the motor alternately to the first and second linear actuators according to the selected force to be applied.
