Abstract
A tool to be fitted onto a machine for traction testing of two elements that are glued to one another at a gluing plane. The tool includes two assemblies, one of which includes a first part that is adjustably movable in a direction orthogonal to a traction axis after the tool is connected to the machine.
Claims15
A tool for testing adhesion of two elements to each other in a device in which the two elements are pulled apart by two traction units along a traction axis that is perpendicular to a gluing plane along which the two elements are adhered to each other, the tool comprising:
- two assemblies, each of said assemblies having a first part that is arranged and adapted to be adhered to a surface of a respective one of the two elements that is parallel to the gluing plane, each of said assemblies being arranged and adapted to be connected to a respective one of the traction units to be pulled in a respective direction along the traction axis,
- wherein said first part of at least one of said assemblies is adjustably movable relative to the respective one of the traction units in a direction orthogonal to the traction axis after the tool is connected to the traction units.

- two assemblies, each of said assemblies having a first part that is arranged and adapted to be adhered to a surface of a respective one of the two elements that is parallel to the gluing plane, each of said assemblies being arranged and adapted to be connected to a respective one of the traction units to be pulled in a respective direction along the traction axis,
- wherein said first part of at least one of said assemblies is linearly movable relative to the respective one of the traction units in a plane generally parallel to the gluing plane after the tool is connected to the traction units.
A tool for testing adhesion of two elements to each other in a device in which the two elements are pulled apart by two traction units along a traction axis that is perpendicular to a gluing plane along which the two elements are adhered to each other, the tool comprising:
- two assemblies, each of said assemblies having a first part that is arranged and adapted to be adhered to a surface of a respective one of the two elements that is parallel to the gluing plane, and a second part that is axially secured to said first unit and is arranged and adapted to be connected to a respective one of the traction units,
- wherein said first and second parts of at least one of said assemblies are adjustably movable relative to each other in translation in a direction generally parallel to the gluing plane after the tool is connected to the traction units.
