The TMA is based on the proven vertical performance design utilizing an Oil Float Suspension System. Focusing on the stability needed for solid performance for coefficient of thermal expansion. In addition to other thermomechanical measurments. The TMA is capable of giving excellent data on a diverse range of materials. This thermal analyzer operates over a wide temperature and under a range of modes to provide superior performance.
A main source of mechanical stress and failure in electronics components is due to thermal expansion. Some critical factors affecting the performance of electronics include: determining the precise glass-transition temperature where materials begin to soften. Stress relief effects can begin to occur, or the point at where delamination can happen.
The TMA is a simple, easy-to-use, rugged Thermomechanical Analyzer that is ideal for multiple measurements. Some examples include: measuring expansion of small components and low expansion rates of circuit boards, component materials, and much more.
Furthermore, the this analyzer is a perfect solution for determining coefficients of expansion accurately and efficiently. A failure free operation at temperatures ranging from -90 °C to 800 °C is heated by the rugged, all-metal furnace is designed to deliver thousands of hours. Providing smooth, precise furnace re-positioning after loading, and it is linked with position sensors to ensure safe operation which is made possible by the motorized furnace lift . Also its height-to-width aspect ratio enables accurate measurements of any size sample from a few microns to a centimeter tall or more.
