MTS Criterion™ Series 60 Site Preparation 5

Site Preparation

Introduction

The MTS Criterion Systems are engineered to deliver the highly reliable, accurate, and repeatable monotonic testing capabilities required for achieving robust control of high-volume production quality, performing high-force industrial testing, and establishing scalable, industry-compliant testing procedures. To get the maximum intended use of the system, it is recommended that careful consideration be given to planning its installation. This includes:

• Considerations of the types of testing that will be performed.

• The building facilities requirements for foundation, power, air conditioning, ceiling height, floor loading, and so on.

• Contract services, such as riggers and moving equipment, to transport the system components within the facility.

• Support personnel that might be required during installation of the system.

Each test application has its own requirements in addition to the test system requirements. Therefore, it is recommended that overall planning be considered as early as possible. Preparation for and setup of the major system components is your responsibility. This guide will help answer most of your questions about the physical characteristics and requirements of your system.


Responsibilities

Site Preparation

Responsibilities

This section details the responsibilities of both the customer and MTS to ensure that the proposed testing area is suitable for the installation and operation of the testing system.

Customer's Responsibilities

It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure that all required support services are available, and that all necessary checks are made prior to installing the testing system. These services and checks are described below.

Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is imperative so that the test system operates in accordance with its specifications and provides accurate test results. The customer must ensure that the site requirements are satisfied prior to scheduling the installation appointment.

Handling and Transporting

Unless specifically arranged otherwise, it is the customers’ responsibility to arrange the off-loading, unpacking, and moving of the test system to the final site location. Refer to “Lifting and Moving Instructions” on page 23 for details on handling and transporting your system to its final location.

Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the off-loading and transportation of the load frame to its final site. Contact MTS’ service department or your local MTS office for additional information on this service.

Note The customer needs to suply equipments, such as hoist rings, straps and tools.

Insurance and Safety

Under MTS’ standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the test system transfers to the customer at MTS’ loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms apply. Under these terms, the customer is responsible for securing the applicable transit insurance on the shipment and arranging safe transport to the final destination. Arrangements can be made through MTS to secure insurance cover and shipping, at the customer's expense.

When transporting a load frame within your own premises, you are responsible for its safe transport. Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the transportation to the load frame's final site. Contact MTS’ Professional Services department or your local MTS office for additional information on this service.

Responsibilities


MTS' Responsibilities

MTS’ standard contract requires MTS to provide the necessary services to ensure that your test system operates accurately. These services are described below.

Additional services and equipment may be negotiated with MTS, but these additional services must be mutually agreed upon and specifically described in your purchase order.

Insurance

Under MTS’ standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the testing system transfers to the customer at MTS’ loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms apply. Under these terms, MTS is responsible for insurance coverage while the testing system is in the factory until it reaches the loading dock for shipping.

Installation

When the site location is prepared and all the components are on site, MTS is responsible for the complete installation of the load frame, its components, and any additional accessories that may have been purchased. The customer must not make any attempt to install the load frame without an MTS service representative present.

Initial Operation

Once the installation is complete, MTS performs an initial operation of the load frame and a calibration check to ensure that it is working properly and measuring accurately. MTS also performs a customer demonstration that briefly describes how to operate the system.

Documentation

MTS provides all the documentation required to operate the system, including information for the load frame and any required software applications.

Additional copies are available and can be ordered through MTS’ sales department.

Preparing to Receive the System

The major components of the system consist of the load frame and Integrated Operations Platform. Prior to receiving the system, ensure suitable rigging equipment is available for lifting and transporting the system components; refer to the component specification later in this manual. Make sure the foundation for the equipment is adequate; see “Foundation Requirements” on page 9 for more information.

Space Requirements

Consideration must be given to planning the space requirements around the equipment for loading specimens and for the proper maintenance of the equipment. Also, during installation of the equipment, additional space (floor space and ceiling height) may be required to facilitate moving the various system components into place. The following figure shows a typical configuration for a system laboratory plan allowing for relative placement of the test machine controls and mechanical components for convenient use. This is only a suggestion of how an MTS Criterion System could be installed. Your requirements should be considered and planned accordingly.

Consideration should also be given to handling specimens, test data, and storage of fixturing and associated tools necessary for use and service of the system. If hazardous test specimens (such as those pressurized internally with gas or fragmentizing materials) are used in the test, protective enclosures and special laboratory layouts are advised.



Note If a safety enclosure is used, the outer edges of the load frame in the following drawing should be the outer edges of the safety enclosure.

Foundation Requirements

Foundations for load frame systems will generally be reinforced concrete cast in the ground (See “Appendix” on page 35 for details).These are sometimes called fixed reaction masses, seismic bases, and so on. Still other methods of supporting a load frame can involve a strong floor or other test floor already at the customer site. The dynamic response characteristics of the foundation should be limited to low levels so that the accuracy will not be affected. An improper foundation mass can affect equipment performance. This is particularly true in strain-controlled low frequency or strain-controlled monotonic testing.

If you have any questions or concerns about the suitability of your foundation, contact MTS.

Floor Loading Considerations

Once the final layout for your system laboratory has been developed, the dimensional and weight information for the various system components should be supplied to the building facility personnel to ensure that proper building loading and vibration considerations have been evaluated.

A review of the final installation plan by building personnel is recommended to check static and dynamic floor loading.

Site Preparation

Electrical Power Distribution

Note Electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and conform to local codes and regulations. Local electrical codes supersede any information found here.

The input line voltage to the MTS Criterion System must be rated for the loads Voltage and Current specified in the Electrical Power Requirements Section (page 22). Size the power system with adequate reserve for future equipment additions and installation expansion. Plan routing of power cables away from instrumentation cables (for example, transducer cables). Avoid long parallel runs of power cables in close proximity to instrumentation cables. Power cables should be separated from instrumentation cables by 0.3 to 1 m (1 to 3 ft).

Grounding Requirements

All equipment related to the System should be connected to the same electrical circuit if possible. If there are peripherals that connect to a different electrical circuit (example; the Integrated Operations Platform is connected to 480 VAC power but the peripheral is connected to 120 VAC power) make sure there is no voltage difference between the two different grounds. If voltage is present, damage could occur to the electronics in the machine, the computer and monitor or the peripherals being used. This must be resolved before turning on the equipment. A braided or black ground strap/terminal is provided to tie the load frame assembly directly to the Integrated Operations Platform to prevent electricl noise from getting into the system.

Where electrical power is of poor quality (noise spikes, poorly regulated, and so forth) or the ground system in the facility contains electrical noise, attach a 4 AWG wire directly to a good earth ground point such as a 2 m (6 ft) copper grounding rod driven at least 2 m (6 ft) into the ground. Grounding must conform to local electrical codes.

Electrical Power Requirements

The electrical power of the load frame and Integrated Operations Platform is provided by a common main power connection. The main power is of 3 phases and 4 wires (L1,L2,L3 and earth). The line-to-line voltage is 400 V AC 50 Hz or 480 V AC 60 Hz. The customer does not need to consider the power supply of the PC and the controller, because they are powered by a step-down transformer inside the Integrated Operations Platform.



Fixture and Specimen Handling Considerations

Movement of specimens in and out of the test system must be considered early in the planning of the site layout. With smaller specimens, the use of a rolling work cart with lift-off storage drawers is recommended to facilitate the handling of specimens and to minimize the chance of damage to the specimens prior to and after the test. As specimen size and fixturing increase beyond the typical lifting capacity of laboratory personnel, use of an overhead crane, lifting straps, or a forklift may be necessary to handle specimens or fixtures.

Acoustics

Generally, the working noise of the MTS Criterion system is very small; no special hearing protection is necessary. For large specimens that may break, hearing protection is recommended. The use of hearing protection is also recommended for personnel involved in long-term testing in a noisy testing environment.

Temperature

The operating temperature range of the Integrated Operations Platform is 5°C to 40°C (51°F to 104°F). This includes most temperature-sensitive equipment, such as disk drives which are dependent on cooler air to maintain proper height of the read/write heads. Although the load cell or force transducer is temperature compensated, it is recommended that room air heating and cooling outlets be directed so that they uniformly distribute air throughout the room. This is primarily due to the potential changes in specimen characteristics or test data associated with changes in temperature.

Heat Dissipation

For comfortable working conditions and proper operation of the equipment, the heat dissipation of the load frame, Integrated Operations Platform, and other equipment must be considered in providing adequate heating or air conditioning to the laboratory area.

Heat dissipation for the Integrated Operations Platform and other electronic units can be estimated by summing the losses going to heat in the room {approximately 6000 Btu/hr (1500 kcal/hr) for a single 15 amp power panel or 8000 Btu/hr (2000 kcal/hr) for a single 20 amp power panel} and the gains from personnel and other heat inputs such as furnaces. To this figure, you should add 20% additional heat gain for future changes in test requirements.

Altitude

Systems operated at high altitudes can have heat dissipation problems because of the lower density of the air. This type of problem might require the use of an air conditioned environment or cooling fans to reduce the heat load. Most equipment can be operated at altitudes up to 2000 m (6,561 ft) maximum. Refer to equipment product specifications for any altitude restrictions.



Site Preparation

Relative Humidity

The recommended relative humidity for the test room is within the range of 5% to 85% (non-condensing). The risk of static discharge, which easily damages logic components and causes loss of data in memory devices, is increased by low humidity. Excessive humidity can result in electrical leakage currents or component failure.

Leveling System Components

The load frame is mounted to the foundation, so no leveling component is needed. The Integrated Operations Platform has leveling feet that allow the cabinet to be leveled as necessary. No particular level alignment of the Integrated Operations Platform is necessary other than to ensure the footing is solid and the Integrated Operations Platform cannot be rocked.

When You Get Your System 21

Integrated Operations Platform Considerations

Handling requirements The Integrated Operations Platform is shipped with a protective covering to prevent damage to the controls and cable connectors and to prevent dust infiltration. It is recommended that the covering not be removed until the unit has been placed in its final position for expected use.

The large stand-up Integrated Operations Platform needs hoist rings to move. When moving the Integrated Operations Platform, lift it only as high as necessary. The cable exit from the Integrated Operations Platform is at the rear, through a slot below the rear door; therefore, location of the cable trays and routing should be considered from this point. Use the same methods for protecting the electronic cables as those used for the hydraulic hoses. Adequate clearance must be provided for rear access to permit cable attachment and component maintenance.

Electricalrequirements

The electrical interface to the system occurs at the lower right part of the Integrated Operations Platform. Power cable access is provided into the box with cables coming from a customer-supplied, fused electrical service disconnect. This disconnect must be provided to safely remove all power to the Integrated Operations Platform for maintenance work. Hookup must conform to local electrical codes and regulations. See “Electrical Power Requirements” on page 10 for more information.

Load Frame Considerations

The load frame is typically shipped in a horizontal position on a pallet or in a crate. Lifting and Moving Instructions that describe proper handling methods are placed in a protective envelope and shipped with the load frame. These instructions include recommended methods to remove the unit from the pallet, raise the unit erect, and move it into position. Read all provided instructions carefully to understand how to handle the weight of the components. It is recommended that personnel experienced in the practice of rigging for construction and industrial operations be employed. The proper use of lifting slings, where the center of gravity is elevated above the floor, is essential to the safety of personnel and equipment.

The routing path of the hydraulic hoses and electrical cables should be noted with respect to any obstructions that could cause the hose or cable to be abraded by rubbing during machine operation.

It is recommended that electrical cabling be protected on the floor with adequate covering to prevent damage caused during fixturing, by dropping specimens and tools, or by walking on them. Sufficient space should also be left around the load frame for maintenance and final hook-ups.



When You Get Your System

Operation of your system can involve exposure to hazardous situations: high voltages are present at the Integrated Operations Platform and the Load Frame. The Integrated Operations Platform controls the movement of the actuator which uses high pressure hydraulic fluid. Because of these potential hazards, your system is provided with documentation that includes information on safety practices. Read this information before attempting to operate your system.

Overview

To reliably and safely use your equipment, handle it according to the instructions.

Check for any crate damages upon the machine arrival. If you find any damage, contact MTS as soon as possible and describe the details in the Commissioned Shipment Receipt.

The load frame is heavy.

The load frame can seriously hurt you and damage your equipment.

Do not allow the load frame to drop or topple.

Make sure that your chains, slings, and crane have a working capacity greater than the load frame’s weight (see the following table).

Make sure that the lifting hoist rings are tight.

Make sure that the crosshead locking bolts are fully tightened.

Lift the load frame only high enough to clear its pallet.

Operate the crane smoothly to prevent breaking shocks to the sling.



The following table lists the approximate weight of each load frame model, the Integrated Operations Platform, and optional parts with and without the crate. The weight specification is for lifting and moving purposes. The weight of accessories and special fixtures must be added. The actual shipping weight must be determined by a scale.

Handling the Load Fame



Unloading

The customer will be responsible for all the unloading process if no Unloading Service is purchased. In case of special agreement, an MTS field service engineer can monitor the unloading, storage, and transportation process.

1. Unload the load frame with reference to the lifting position marker

and the gravity center marker .

2. Choose suitable slings according to the weight table.

3. Lift the crate with suitable slings as shown in the following figure.

4. Pay attention to the gravity center marker on the crate to ensure stable and balanced lifting.

Note If the machine will not be installed right away, put it in a steady, dry and corrosion-free place. MTS is not responsible for damages caused by improper storage.



Moving the Load Unit

To move the load unit to its final location:

1. Unpack the load frame.

Remove the cover boards.

If you ordered the safety enclosure, remove the mounting bolts and take the enclosure out. Put the safety enclosure in a suitable place; an MTS field service engineer will install it for you.

2. Remove the mounting bolts for the frame. Attach the customer-supplied hoist rings (M30 for C64.305/C64.305EL, M36 for C64.605/C64.605EL and C64.106/C64.106EL) to the load frame as shown in the following figure. Tie suitable slings to the hoist rings and lift the frame. Remove the pallet under the frame.

Note The customer should not remove these clamps.



3. Put the base of the load frame on a mat and remove the hoist rings and slings on the frame base. Slowly raise the load frame to its upright position. As the unit rises, keep moving the crane to keep the sling as straight as possible.

Note When you raise the load frame erect, no bystanders should be at the site.

4. Move the load frame to its final location; refer to either “Moving the Load Frame with a Forklift” on page 27 or “Moving the Load Frame with an Overhead Crane” on page 28.

Moving the Load Frame with a Forklift

If a fork lift is used, perform the following:

1. Adjust the fork distance and height; make them suitable to extend under the lower crosshead.

2. Put protective rubber or cloth on the forks and extend them under the lower crosshead. The two forks should be level and equally loaded.

3. Raise the load frame slowly and steadily to a suitable height and move the load frame to the foundation slowly and steadily.



4. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load frame” on page 29.

Moving the Load Frame with an Overhead Crane

If an overhead crane is used, perform the following:

1. Choose suitable slings according to the load frame weight.

2. Attach the slings to the customer-supplied hoist rings on the uppe crosshead.

3. Raise the hook slowly to lift the load frame only high enough to move.

4. Slowly and steadily move the load frame to the foundation.



5. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load frame” on page 29.

Securing the Load frame

To secure the load frame to the foundation:

1. Put the anchor bolts into the bolt holes; the top of the bolts should be lower than the top of the foundation.

2. Align the anchor bolt holes on the load frame base with that of the foundation, and slowly put down the load frame.

3. Put the anchor bolts, which are in the foundation anchor bolt holes, through the load frame anchor bolt holes. Put the flat washers, spring washers, and nuts on the bolts leaving 2-4 threads of the bolts on top of the nuts.

4. Center the anchor bolts and grout the anchor holes with cement mixtures. Keep the anchor bolts at the center of the holes while grouting.

5. Grout the cement mixture to the same level of the groundwork and scrape it plane. After curing the foundation for a while, tighten the anchor bolt nuts.

Handling the Integrated Operations Platform

Unloading

Choose suitable slings according to the Integrated Operations Platform and crate weight. Wrap the sling through the crate pallet and raise it.

Moving the Integrated Operations Platform

To move the Integrated Operations Platform to its final location:

1. Unpack the Integrated Operations Platform.

2. Choose suitable chains according to the Integrated Operations Platform’s weight.


Handling the Steps

3. Attach the chains to the customer-supplied hoist rings (M16) on the Integrated Operations Platform and hang the other end on the hook.

4. Raise the hook slowly and move the platform to its final location.

5. Put the platform down and take off the chains. Adjust the levelness with the feet under the platform.

6. Contact MTS Systems Corporation to arrange for installation services.

Note If you can guarantee the safety, other tools such as a platform vehicle and pallet jack can also be used to move the Integrated Operations Platform to its final location.

Handling the Steps

If you purchased the steps, unload them using the proper method (see the Integrated Operations Platform unloading for reference). Put the steps in a suitable place and wait for an MTS field service engineer to install them.
