Electronic maintenance guide
With regular maintenance, the functionality of the testing machine is maintained and the safety for you and your machines is preserved.Wear on your machine is considerably minimized and downtimes are significantly reduced.
The electronic maintenance guide advises of regularly scheduled service and maintenance activities.This makes it easier to plan maintenance tasks and increases the utilization time (uptime) of the testing machine.The interval details are based on the requirements in the machine user guide.
Possible maintenance notifications:
- Upcoming calibrations and number of load cell overloads
- Inspection of load frame elements such as emergency stop buttons, air circulation at the electronics, lubrication of the lead screw, etc.
- Condition and function of the safety shield; if necessary, change out the polycarbonate shield
- Condition of extensometers and their knife edges (for contact extensometers)
- Overdue calibration of the sensors
