Your Applications Covered Unique Insights

Micro electronics thermal shock

Prospector gives the capability to thermally

cycle while applying a mechanical load – this

is an excellent method of accelerating thermal

shock experiments.

Flexible and wearable electronics

For these materials it is essential to be able to

perform mechanical testing while measuring

electrical resistance. Perform long term wear and

fatigue testing.

Medical micro stents

Stents and balloons are micro objects that need

sensitive measurements to measure their internal

strength. High powered optics are essential.

5G boards and components

With 5G there is a need to test the boards

themselves but also each individual component

and soldered device. Acoustic testing gives another

level of sensitivity for bend and scratch testing.

Test the most demanding applications

In today’s world the materials, components and medical devices being developed are becoming more

complex and micro-sized (<100 µm). Understanding their failure modes and quality requirements is a

challenge. Prospector™ is ready to support your test evaluations across a range of micro applications,

down to 0.01 N forces.

Life with Prospector

Prospector is designed for test exibility and ease of use. Operators can perform a wide range of

test types with minimal training.

In the example below six dierent tests were required to isolate the correct failure mode.

Prospector and Paragon™ Materials soware make easy work of even the most complex test plans.

Switch tests fast: Prospector’s auto test setup quickly congures hardware and soware so you’re

ready for the next test.

Custom Tooling Experts

DAGE have been creating custom micro tooling for 50 years. Our experience in material

fabrication and work holder design is extensive with over 5,000 unique concept designs.

Our tools are manufactured and tested from our UK site. Each tool is individually designed to

meet your exact requirements.

No need to build your own test rigs!

Whether your component is on the micro scale, or a unique shape, we have a work holder capable

of performing your test. If you have a diicult sample to test we can tailor a custom work holder.

Made for Micro

Tackle your micro challenge

Prospector™ supports researchers to take on the most demanding failure analysis applications.

With Prospector, you now have a repeatable method for testing truly micro-components and devices,

down to <0.1N!

Everything you need for the micro world.

Align and locate with micro precision.

Easily controlled axes using joystick

operation for independent (or combined)

movement with 100 nm resolution.

Powerful on board optics allow you

to measure features and take videos

during tests.

Drive to test locations using mouse point

and click on the camera image.

Grip delicate micro devices and

components with ease.

Micro tools and jaws can be pneumatically

controlled with variable force.
