Routine Maintenance
All interior cleaning and maintenance should be performed by an Instron Service
engineer. This should be scheduled at least once every year along with the annual
calibration but if your testing equipment is operating in an environment where there is
substantial debris and dust, you should schedule cleaning more often. Contact Instron
Service for advice.
Daily Maintenance
Make sure the exterior of instrument is clean and free of debris. Use a soft lint-free cloth
to wipe the exterior.
Maintenance of Knife Edges
Figure 15
on page 50 shows the knife edge assembly. Standard knife edges, provided
with the instrument, are circular. Other shapes are available (refer to
“Replaceable
Parts”
on page 53 ).
Warning
You can achieve maximum life of knife edges by rotating them. Using a 2mm hex key,
loosen the M3 screw. Rotate the knife edge so that a new surface is exposed to the
specimen. Retighten the screw.
Hazard - The AutoX knife edges are sharp. Take care when handling them to avoid
touching the sharp edges.
