OverviewParagon™ is bond test software for Nordson Test & Inspection platforms. Its intuitive, tab-based and configurable user interface provides direct access to test setup, automatic GR&R calculation, system diagnostics, a database search wizard and comprehensive reporting to support traceable bond-strength measurement workflows.
Quick and Easy to UseThe interface uses an efficient tab layout with test settings fixed to a left column and an easy-access toolbar for common actions (save, print, lights, zero). Training follows a linear workflow; configurable access modes and locking restrict operator changes while permitting supervisor control.
High Accuracy and Repeatability- Intelligent system monitoring including life tests on tool, load cartridge and calibration jig
- Health checks, calibration status and cartridge initialization with automatic alerts
Image Capture for Advanced AnalysisRapid acquisition of images at multiple magnifications supports failure-mode identification and links images to test records for traceability and investigation.
Flexible Analysis and ReportingData Analysis- On-board statistics and Statistical Process Control (SPC) with histogram distribution views (mean and current samples)
- Force trend analysis (box-and-whisker, optional mini histogram)
- Grade Pareto analysis
- Loop-height trend analysis and force/time-displacement curves
- Statistical result metrics: mean, max/min range, standard deviation, mean ±3σ, Cpk and Cp
Efficient TestingTest AutomationAutomated testing of a complete row of bonds on a device/leadframe or multiple devices in hybrid packages. Pre-program test points, positions and pitch; store test patterns with images for quick selection.
New Standard of Advanced AutomationParagon AutomationView automation patterns and wire/bumps/die locations simultaneously. Edit test patterns offline and preview animations of wire pulls, test order, test type and offsets prior to execution.
Matrix Automation TestingProgram a single device and extrapolate the pattern across a frame (Device Matrix) to generate multi-device test patterns automatically.
