Positioning the Stands, Models AT130N & AT130T
The Versitron machine must be positioned such that the front can be easily accessed,
the control unit and operating lever should not be obstructed and at the adequate
height and reach so as to best ergonomically fitted for the end user.
The Versitron machines are heavy items and cannot normally tip over. However, the
stand must be fixed to the working surface, as many parts can be cantilevered out from
the working axis and create a moment. This measure also prevents the risk that users
can pull or push against the frame and tip over the machine.
Position the test stand in the desired location. Screw in the height adjustment knob on
AT130T stands. For bench models the base under the tester should provide a 3” wide
hole directly underneath the acme thread elevating screw to permit the elevating screw
to descend to its lowest position, see Section 4.3. To position the tester over the hole,
lower the elevating screw by turning the height adjusting wheel counter-clockwise. If
the elevating screw is not properly centered over the hole, the elevating screw will only
descend a few inches before the height adjusting wheel starts to ride up the elevating
screw. Reposition the stand. The elevating screw will drop down when positioned
properly.
