8.2.3 Termination
Termination is the cutting of the wire at the end of a wire connection.
This is done in different ways in different bonding processes. In the case of the thin wire, the wire is torn, either only
the clamp is moved <Feed Limiter> or XYZ moves to tear the wire <Table Tear>.
In the case of a table tear, the tail for the next bond is created at the same time.
For the thick wire, the wire is cut with a knife, but the knife is also moved with the YXZ axis before the cut behind the
bond.
The mechanical adjustment of the knife (distance to the bond tool) also influences the waist length of the next bond.
