Direction of Travel
It is necessary to ensure that the direction of the platen (up or down) has been
correctly selected . Choosing one of the three switch positions controls the platen
travel direction: Up, Off, or Down .
Note:
There is a 4 second delay built in between a change in motor direction to
allow the motor to stop before restarting in the opposite direction .
Maximum Travel Limit Switches
Maximum travel limits up and down are indicated on the control panel with
green and red indicating lights . The machine will stop operation in that
direction and one of the lights will be illuminated . The maximum travel of
the platen is 3 .50" (88mm) .
Chart Scales
A sample chart is included with these instructions . The vertical axis major
divisions each represent, depending on the range chosen, 500 or 1000
pounds force and the horizontal major divisions each represent .05 inches
of flow (or platen travel) .
Maximum Load
The Marshall & TSR Compression Machine is rated a 10,000 lbf (44kN), which
is the load cell range . An automatic, high load cut-off feature stops the machine
at approximately 10,500 lbf .
Flow Measurement
The pen travel in the horizontal axis (flow) direction indicates the flow on the
chart; its speed is exactly correlated with the 2 in ./min . platen speed of the
compression machine . The full-scale range on the chart is .5 inches of flow .
