Hi All,
I am looking to set up a pressure test for a product that I manufacture. For all intents and purposes, the product is a seam welded container. Essentially, the test would consist of attaching compressed air to the product and increasing the internal pressure until failure. I want to be...
In case anyone cares.
I was able to calibrate the machine after adjusting the height of the LVDT coil such that adjusting the core assembly actually registered changes in the load reading. Followed procedures outlined in the manual and it worked as intended. Thanks to all for the input and time.
Thank you for the resource. The LVDT core assembly is brand new. The LVDT coil on the other hand seems to be the one installed on the unit by the OEM. Unsure if its possible to change that out. I have been in contact with a reconditioning company, but my bosses want the cheapest solution possible.
Is there another way to do it then? I am just going by the manual instructions and it specifically states the load reading as the way to tell if the core is in a null position.
@3DDave So the steps I am following are:
1. Set readout mode switch to TRACK position
2. Set range switch to 1/5 position
3. Hold zero switch in the ZERO position and use the coarse and fine adjustment knobs until LOAD readout shows zero
4. Release the zero/cal switch and change the RANGE switch...
@TugboatEng Correct. In the calibration procedures, it says to adjust the LVDT core assembly until a null value is found. The null value cannot be found when adjusting the assembly.
Hi,
I am new here and am looking for some help with a tensile tester my company recently purchased on ebay. I am having trouble calibrating the machine according to the product manual. The machine is an Instron Model 1000. According to Instron, this specific test frame stopped production in...
