How can I clear the balls before performing a high speed single ball shear?

One option is to use a shear tool at a much lower speed (around 5 to 10mm/s). The alternative is to use the DAGE ball clearance jig – contact us for more details. This machine has been custom built to accommodate a wide range of device sizes and easily removes all the balls except for a single row. Remember that it is important to remove the balls cleanly from the device; otherwise debris could interfere with passage of the shear tool during the test itself and compromise the results.
