Chapter 2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.01 GENERAL MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The equipment is composed of two main parts (see enclosure A for details):
THE LOAD FRAME (A) is basically made by a mechanical screw jack (A21) to which the two side
columns are fixed (A8). An upper cross bar (A6) is secured to the side columns by means of special
fixing nuts (A5). The mechanical screw jack transmits the load to the moving platen (A11). A proving
ring (OPTIONAL) equipped with a dial gauge (OPTIONAL) which detects the specimen deformation
can be fixed to the upper cross bar.
As an alternative to the dynamometric ring, the load frame can be equipped with load cells of different
capacity, but with a max.capacity of 50.000 N; the load cell must be connected to the LAN
connectors placed on the right side of the casing cover.
It is also possible to apply one or more transducers to the load frame, to measure the specimen
deformation, or the move of the moving plate (A11). Also in this case the transducers must be
connected to the LAN connectors placed on the right side of the casing cover.
THE CONTROL PANEL (B) allows to set and activate the testing machine functions.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with the manufacturer or with the dealer for any further information.

Parameters
Parameter Value
TYPE It shows the type of information read by the analog channel
CAPACITY It shows the full scale value of the transducer connected to the analog
channel. The unit of measurement is independent of the measurement
system selected in the international settings. In this way, the operator can
insert the transducer capacity directly into the unit of measurement indicated
in the specifications without worrying about how the system is working.
ALARM If enabled, it shows the threshold above which an alarm condition is

generated on the analog channel.
ENTRY It shows the level of the input signal and, consequently, the gain of the
amplification applied before the reading. Please note that low signal levels
correspond to more amplifications and vice versa.
16
DATA BIT It shows the number of bits used to read the data. As the number of bits
increases, both the resolution of the analog channel and the instability of the
measure will increase (Even the less significant noise is "appreciated",).
FILTER The analog data are over-sampled compared to the actual needs of the
application. The excess samples can be used to stabilize the reading with
variable algorithm according to what is selected in the parameter "filter type".
If filter type is NONE, the last sample read in the time window of acquisition
s used without the application of mathematical algorithm.
If filter type is AVERAGE ,an arithmetic mean will be applied to the samples
of the acquisition time window.
If filter type is CUSTOM the values range in the acquisition time window
are "damped" in proportion to the value of "depth filter".

Parameters
Parameter Values
Pace rate deviation (*)
Constant pace rate time: (*)
Break deviation: (*)
Break timeout: (*)
(*) Non-destructive break of the specimen

To avoid the sudden (therefore destructive) break of the specimen, the machine considers a control algorithm,
that can be personalized with the parameters of the third configuration screen. The algorithm considers two
different work phases:
1. Connection of the pace rate: Pace rate load is considered connected when the speed is constant within a
tolerance range called PACE RATE GRADIATION and for a minimum period of time, called PACE RATE
TIME.
2. Break detection: after having connected the pace rate by establishing an initial speed value, this will
increase during the test. When a certain threshold, called BREAK DEVIATION, is exceeded for a period of
time called BREAK TIMEOUT as compared to the initial value, the capacity does not increase by producing
a non-explosive break.
START POSITIONS
During operations, it is possible to check the operative phase of the machine in detail, by referring to the
following table:
: Initialization

WARNING
To start the machine again, put the Main Switch (B1) on I . This will reset the appliance normal functions.
7.09 STOP COMMANDED BY SAFETY CIRCUIT
The test execution could be interrupted by the safety systems; in fact they are activated in case of working
problems. This load frame is supplied with the following systems:
STOP CAUSED BY THE CUT OFF MICRO SWITCH
In the event of an overloading, a cut off micro switch can be connected to the proving ring (OPTIONAL) thanks to
a connector (B12). This will allow the immediate stop of the appliance in the event that the max. load capacity of
the proving ring is reached.
STOP CAUSED BY THE LIMIT SWITCH (B1)

A special limit switch stops the moving platen (A11) before it reaches the lower dead point of the screw jack
(A21) avoiding any damage. When the lower point is reached only the moving platen (A11) is stopped, while all
the normal functions of the load frame remain in use.
7.10 START UP AFTER STOP COMMANDED BY SAFETY CIRCUIT
Before re-starting the appliance determine and eliminate the causes of the emergency
stop
DANGER
WARNING
7.11 LOAD READING
The proving ring (OPTIONAL) allows detecting the load applied by the load frame to the specimen. To get such a value it
is necessary to measure the ring deformation. A dial gauge along the vertical axis of the appliance calculates this.
From the deformation the operator can find out the applied load by comparing the values detected by the dial gauge with
the ones written in the calibration chart of the ring (enclosed to this manual):
EXAMPLE:
The operator wants to find out the load applied to the specimen knowing that the deformation of the proving ring is equal
to 0.25 mm. Hereunder please find an example of calibration chart:

From the above list you can get the desired value looking for it in the column Dial Reading. The deformation value
of the proving ring is to be found on the dial gauge; its corresponding load value is written aside and represents the
exact load applied by the appliance to the specimen.
Thats to say that a deformation of 0.25 mm corresponds to a load of 5.81 kN.
