Operation of the Machine -
1. Initial Settings -
- a) Depending on height of job, select a suitable screw extension piece and fix it to the main screw.
- b) Depending on shape of job select a suitable support flat i.e. Vee table for round jobs and flat table for jobs with flat bottom. Fix this at the screw / extension top.
- c) Position the load selector lever to the required test load i.e. 750 kg or 3000 kg.
- e) Confirm that required ball indentor dia 5mm or 10 mm is fixed.
- f) Position the job on the table and adjust the screw height such that the test face of job is about 5 mm below the clamping cone bottom face. Now the machine is ready for production testing.
2. Test Cycle -
- a) Start machine by ON push button. The clamping piston goes to bottom position and loading piston with indentor goes to the top position and the indentor shifts to indexed (fitted) position.
- b) Push the cycle start button. The bottom piston moves up and the job is clamped against the clamping cone with a force of 500 kg. Then the loading piston moves down. The indentor shifts to its vertical position and the set load is applied on the test piece a light signal is provided which glows when the load is applied. The applied load is kept constant for a pre set time. Then the loading piston moves up and the indentor is indexed so that the impression is visible on the screen. Measure the impression by the micrometer.
- c) Push the de-clamp button.
- d) Unload the job and machine is ready for next test.
3. Thus -
- a) Job loading / unloading
- b) Impression / measurement
- c) Pushing cycle start
- d) De-clamp buttons
Are only manual operations and rest all is automatic. The machine is designed for continuous operation in the environments of foundry / forge shop, etc.
