VIII. About the capacity

1. Use Capacity: Generally made based on a maximum strength value and minimum

strength value of variety test object as purchase reference, at this time you should

consider the machine model, capacity is applicable, not a test function can complete all

tests, you must consider about the measuring range problem. For example: some

manufacturers of products after testing the strength values may range from 2-500kgf,

in which case you must use two different capacity testing machine.

2. Capacity Range: The use of force sensors ranging from 1% to 90%. For example, the

capacity to 500kgf force sensor range is 5-450kgf. Less than 1% will have insufficient

resolution, higher than 90% may cause damage to force sensor.

IX. Daily care and maintenance of the machine

1. Foreword:

Our company designed and manufactured in the universal testing machine at the

17

beginning of design already take into account the cost of maintenance, so this

universal material testing machine designed as a low maintenance requirements of the

type, the operator need not be any special maintenance tools, that is able to complete

the machine routine maintenance work.

2. Machine Maintenance:

This machine has been carefully senior external sheet metal paint handling, so just

wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust, if not used for a long time, and please cover

to cover.

(2) Structure:

The structure of this machine is sheet metal and dust obscured, the state in general

use no maintenance required. Machine screw, nut, and please lubricant once every

six months.

(3) Gripers:

Gripers are attached to the machine already after plating, the state in general use

only with a dry cloth to remove dust, if not used for a long time with a clean cotton

cloth stained with a little rust oil wipe the surface of the gripers.

(4) Non-baking part of machine:

This machine non-baking part are copper, stainless steel, or by plating, not rust, it is

in general use state only with a dry cloth to remove dust, if not used for a long time

with a clean cotton stained with a little rust oil wipe the surface of non-baking part

of the machine.

3. Methods for cleaning up:

In order to ensure the appearance of the machine clean, periodically use a soft cloth to

clean the machine. For stubborn stains can be relatively soft cloth dipped in a mild

detergent to remove. Do not use strong cleaning agents such as benzene, acetone,

thinners or abrasive cleaners to avoid damage to the shell. To be safe, the best place in

the power off the machine before cleaning.

4. Maintenance Considerations:

(1) The machine's working environment and conditions shall be in full compliance

with the requirements, including temperature, relative humidity, supply voltage, the

installed base (around general requirements no vibration, no corrosive media, no

strong electromagnetic interference), while some also have special machines for the

environment requirements, should be strictly in accordance with the instruction

manual for maintenance and repair.

(2) Before and after use should be kept clean and avoid collisions.

(3) If the long-term without the use of the machine, should be regularly plug boot.

(4) Shall have a dedicated staff responsible for the machine, when the test should be

strictly in accordance with the operating rules and procedures, the machine is

18

strictly prohibited beyond the scope of testing, after the test should make the

machine back to the initial position to ensure that the next test correctly.

(5) The machine should be regularly cleaned and inspection, for the calibration of the

machine must be regularly calibrated to ensure accuracy of the instrument.

(6) When the machine is not in use, it should take appropriate protective measures, if

not been used for a long time, but once again it should be re-inspection using before

use.

(7) About calibration:

Periodic calibration: Average calibration cycle is one year.

Temporary Calibration: User found in the use, or quality management unit is found

on examination when the machine is not accurate, you should calibrate

immediately.

X. Common Faults and treatment methods

When a failure or abnormal operation occurs, please refer to the item "Troubleshooting"

to identify the cause and treatment. When the fault does not meet any of the following

items or serious failure, damaged parts, please contact us.

1. Question: No power after turning the power supply?

(1) Please check whether the power plug securely into the socket, or loose. If loose

please sure to connect.

(2) Check the emergency stop button is turned on, if it is in a depressed state, please set

it open.

(3) Check the outlet voltage is normal, if not normal, please change outlet.

(4) Check that the power switch is able to operate normally, if not normal, please

notify our company.

(5) Check the fuse behind the machine is damaged, if damaged; please replace the

original specifications of the new fuse.

(6) If everything is normal but still no power supply, please inform our company.

2. Question: When the machine operation will have abnormal vibration and noise?

(1) Please check the machine four feet if the average exposure pedestal, if not, please

adjust the feet so that the average of the four contacts.

(2) Check the power supply voltage is normal and stable, if not; replace a stable and

normal power supply.

(3) Check the machine for loose screws ministries, such as loose, insert the screws and

tighten.

(4) If everything is normal but still have abnormal vibration and noise, please inform

our company.

3. Question: The test data anomalies?

(1) Make sure the "specimen" is indeed gripping, if not, be sure grip.

19
