Reinstalling the AutoX onto a frame
The procedure for removal and re-installation of the AutoX varies slightly depending on
the type of frame that it is installed on. The following procedure refers to:
•
Electromechanical frames, for example 5900 and 3300 Series
•
Static hydraulic frames, for example DX, LX, HDX, KX, KPX
In addition, the mounting and sliding assembly for electromechanical frames is
universal and can be moved from one frame to another. Typically, each static hydraulic
frame has a different mounting and sliding assembly therefore you would not normally
remove it. This difference is reflected in the following procedure.
Caution
Any frame that you want to use for testing with the AutoX must have been modified
internally for use with the AutoX.
You can move the AutoX and the mounting bracket between different load frames, but
each frame must have the wiring modification. The modification is indicated by a label
(
AUTOX ) added to the frame controller panel adjacent to the appropriate connector,
usually Strain 1. Contact Instron Service to purchase this modification on any additional
frames.
1. Turn off power to the frame.
2. For electromechanical frames, to re-install the sliding and mounting assembly:
a. The mounting assembly consists of three components; a sliding assembly and
two mounting brackets (see
Figure 7
on page 24 ).
b. Attach the two mounting brackets to the frame base using the four M10 bolts.
Secure the bolts using a 8mm hex wrench but do not tighten them at this stage.
Warning
c. Attach the sliding assembly to the brackets using the six M6 bolts. You may need
to loosen the M10 bolts that secure the two mounting brackets to the frame to
achieve alignment with the sliding assembly. Tighten the M6 bolts using a 5mm
hex wrench and tighten the M10 bolts using the 8mm hex wrench.
Take care when handling the sliding assembly. The platform can slide forwards on
the tracks.
