Benchmark 16H
Inspect for shipping damage
Please follow the instructions listed below to properly unpack your optical comparator. If shipping
damage becomes evident or questions arise during installation please call
Dorsey Metrology
International at 1-800-549-4243 for immediate assistance.
1) Inspect the cardboard outer box and pallet for evidence of shipping damage. If evidence is
apparent immediately annotate damage on the receiving documentation and notify Dorsey
Metrology International at the number listed above.
2)
Important:
Your optical comparator packaging has been engineered to both preserve the
machine from corrosion and protect it from damage during transportation. For this reason
three of the four moving axes have been locked. They must not be unlocked until the machine
is in its place of use on a workbench. Moving or tilting the machine with any of the three axes
unlocked will cause damage to the machine. Please read the unpacking instructions
before
removing the machine wrapping material.
3) Remove the outer banding material and protective cardboard carton from the pallet.
3a) Do not unlock any of the tagged machine locks at this time. Do not cut the banding material
located inside the plastic wrap. It is locking the Y Axis.
4) Remove the plastic moisture and corrosion barrier wrap. This material is treated with a metal
corrosion inhibitor. Again inspect for obvious shipping damage. Immediately contact Dorsey
Metrology if damage is present.
5) Any accessories or equipment is either under the plastic wrap or in the foam tray that the
machine is sitting in. Remove all accessories and place aside. Use the packing list and the
“system configuration checklist” to verify that you have all of the contents
prior to throwing
away any packing material.
Caution:
The comparator must be lifted by the base handles or base.
Under no circumstances should
the stage or the lamphouse be used to lift or position the comparator. Serious damage to the
stage or lamphouse will result if they are mishandled.
6)
Warning!
– placing the machine on a table or stand requires the machine to be Lifted
from the foam shipping tray. This is a 4 (strong) person operation. Please exercise
caution when performing this task. If lifting equipment is used. Please ensure it has been
certified to support a minimum of 500lbs./227Kg.
7) Place the comparator on a sturdy table. The table should be approximately 27”-29” high and
be capable of securely withstanding a combined load of at least 550 lbs./250Kg. with 4 point
pressure capability of approximately 165 PSI.
