1TYPES OF MACHINE 4000, 4000HS AND 4000HS-Z
This manual covers the 4000HS and 4000HS-Z
The operation of this machine is very similar to the 4000. Most machine options may be
used on either machine. The 4000 is a general-purpose machine that can test 100kg die
shear and fine pitch wire bonds. The 4000HS is designed for high-speed applications. The
4000HS is capable of testing up to 4M/s in shear and 1.3M/s in pull. The 4000HS-Z is a
zone shear machine capable of testing, in shear, up to 80Kg at speeds up to 600mm/s and
can also be used to perform pull tests up to 1.3M/s in the same way as a 4000HS.

fork lift truck:
TIPPING HAZARD
Higher than normal Centre of Gravity
Do not tip the machine more than 10°as it only has three feet
and so will tip easily
May cause death or serious injury by crushing
CRUSHING HAZARD
The Machine is extremely heavy
Ensure adequate help is available when positioning the
machine, as it may be difficult to control any lifting
equipment even on a gently sloping floor
May cause death or serious injury by crushing
