Description Description Every MTS Criterion Series 60 Test System is comprised of a load frame, an Integrated Operations Platform, and testing software. The following figure shows the external features of the various MTS Criterion Series 60 frames and Integrated Operations Platform. Frame The frame is composed of a base, actuator, test table, lower crosshead, upper crosshead, feeding rod, and lead screw.
Description When performing a tensile test, the specimen is held by appropriate grips in the tension space, and the actuator goes up to move the table and the upper crosshead upward, while the lower crosshead keeps still. This way, tensile load is applied on the specimen. While tensile load is applied to the specimen, the sensors measure the load applied, the displacement, and the specimen extension.
Description Integrated Operations Platform The Integrated Operations Platform is comprised of an electromotor, oil pump, oil reservoir, air cooler, servovalve, other controlling valves, integrating manifolds, a temperature sensor, and other hydraulic components. The servovalve, transducers, controller, and the testing software form a closed-loop control system. Hydraulic oil temperature is kept at its setting range by an air cooler.

Maintenance MTS Criterion™ Series 60 Product Manual
Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Cannot clear interlocks, no apparent source for the interlock. CHECK Is any Emergency Stop button pressed? REASON Any pressed Emergency Stop will prevent interlocks from being cleared. You can now check if an ESTOP is pressed in the fault status screen in TestWorks. Is the pump on? On a MTS Criterion Series 60 the pump must be on to clear interlocks.
Basic Troubleshooting SYMPTOM CHECK REASON Upper actuator limit. On the MTS Criterion Series 60 an upper limit can be tripped if the piston extends too far (risk of bypassing seal), or if the piston is too close to the crosshead (piston moving up or crosshead moving down). Lower actuator limit. On the MTS Criterion Series 60 a lower limit is tripped if the grips in the upper test space are too close (piston moving down or crosshead moving up). Servo error limit.
Decommissioning The decommissioning process is performed when the system is going to be moved or taken out of service. Disassembly is required when performing either of these tasks. To decommission the system: 1. Remove specimen and fixtures. Large grips should be removed if the load frame is going to be tipped over. 2. Move the actuator piston rod down to its lowest position. Retract or open the small piston on both grips to its lowest position. 3.
7. Dispose of all hydraulic fluid in accordance with all local codes regarding hazardous materials handling and disposal. Customer should follow internal safety policies for safe disposal of parts of the machine. Refer to MSDS for oils and greases that are used on the machine. Before power is turned off, the cables carry electrical current. Removing the crosshead motor cables without turning off the power can cause personnel injury or death.
Appendix Additional Digital I/O Information The digital inputs have an MOCD223 optical isolator with 2.7 Kohm, ½ Watt series resistor. To reliably turn on they need 1 mA of current. This means the minimum input high voltage is 4.0 V DC. The maximum input voltage is 28.0 V DC. The device should be off for input voltages less than 1.0 V. The digital outputs are implemented by an AQV252G PhotoMOS relay with a 0.75 Amp poly fuse in series.
