  • Patent number: 9899046
    Abstract: A method of testing anti-high temperature performance of a magnetic head comprises applying a plurality of second magnetic fields with different intensities in a second direction to the magnetic head, and measuring a second output parameter curve, and judging whether a variation that is beyond an allowable value is presented on the second output parameter curve, therein the second direction passes through the ABS and at an angle whose absolute value is an acute angle to the ABS. The present invention can screen out defective magnetic heads that possess poor anti-high temperature performance without heating the magnetic head.

  • Patent number: 9355660
    Abstract: A testing method of a magnetic head includes: applying a first magnetic field with a constant intensity in a first direction that is the same with that of the longitudinal bias field to the magnetic head, simultaneously applying a second magnetic field with variant intensities in a second direction traversing the air bearing surface, and measuring a first noise; applying a third magnetic field with a constant intensity in a third direction that is opposite to the first direction to the magnetic head, simultaneously applying the second magnetic field with variant intensities in the second direction, and measuring a second noise; and analyzing noise change between the first noise and the second noise. The invention can screen out defective magnetic heads that possess poor noise characteristic and unstable performance.

  • Patent number: 9121888
    Abstract: A method of testing anti-high temperature performance of a magnetic head comprises applying a second magnetic field with different intensities in a second direction and the changing first magnetic fields in a first direction, and measuring a plurality of second output parameter curves; and judging whether a variation that is beyond an allowable value is presented on the second output parameter curves, thereby screening out a defective magnetic head, therein the first direction is perpendicular to the air bearing surface of the magnetic head, and the second direction is perpendicular to the shielding layers of the magnetic head. The present invention can screen out defective magnetic heads that possess poor anti-high temperature performance without heating the magnetic head and with high precision.

  • Patent number: 8935132
    Abstract: A spectral simulation method during a noise testing for a magnetic head, includes steps of (a1) detecting several first noise profiles for several magnetic head samples under a first frequency bandwidth range by a dynamic testing machine; (b1) separating each first noise profile into at least two noise curves including a first noise curve and a second noise curve at a predetermined frequency bandwidth, wherein the first noise curve has a frequency bandwidth range lower than that of the second noise curve; (c1) fitting several mathematical equations according to the second noise curves; and (d1) establishing a correlative equation among the mathematical equations, so as to simulate the second noise curve for each magnetic head. The present invention can simulate a second noise curve of the noise profile in a higher frequency bandwidth and establishing the correlative equation according to the second noise curve.
