Shipley Bulge TesterHi Chuck, as you seem to be a Siemens company, I assume that you are not performing plating operations yourselves, and so I would query your need to do bulge testing. The test requires that a sample is prepared by plating a specific thickness (normally greater than the normal thickness of plating) onto a backing sheet, peeled off and then tested. If you are not doing the plating process yourself, you will have problems making the sample, no? Atotech also supply a bulge tester (or you could use them as a service ?)

I need to find one to test, rent or whatever. The Shipley web site was not very helpful. We have a procedure that calls for this equipment.
