Gram gauge for wirebonder force calibration?

Hi Labmembers -
Does anyone have a gram gauge that I could borrow to calibrate the force applied by a wirebonder? I'm using a Westbond 7400E to wirebond thin (50nm) metal bondpads, and the tool has a tendency to punch through the electrode and short to another layer below it. I've tried adjusting the power/time and switching from ultrasonic to thermocompression/thermosonic to no avail. If you have a gauge or experience working with thin bondpads please let me know. Thanks!
