Alternative Mechanism for Peel Strength Tester

The paper mainly focuses on measuring peel strength of adhesive tapes. Peel strength is average force required to separate two boded materials from one another, is properly applicable to various industries aerospace, automotive, adhesives, packaging, biomaterials, microelectronics, and more. Peel test data is used to determine the quality of the adhesive joint and, where applicable, provides information on the effects of processes. Peel tests are constant-speed tests in the tensile direction. In material testing, peel strength is calculated after measuring and averaging the load to peel the specimen and dividing the average load by unit width of the Adhesives. Different adhesives are used for joining the different types of materials. The different types of peel tests available for investigating the adhesive strength are 90º, 135º, 180º and T-peel test. This mechanism mainly focuses on 180º peel type test.[1]Key point of this study is to get precise reading by 180-degree peel strength measurement machine. In this mechanism of peel strength measuring machine that the motor which having low rpm will drive power screw with help of coupler. rotating motion of leadscrew will thenconvert into linear motion of table. Supporting bars support table mounted on leadscrew and adhesive strength will tested with help of measuring gauge. 180-degree peel strength measuring machine can measure adhesiveness of tape applied on any surface with higher accuracy. It will require zero lubrication and maintenance cost is also low. Machine is cheaper in cost and faster in working.
