GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSMaterials testing systems are potentially hazardous.
Materials testing involves inherent hazards from highforces, rapid motions and stored energy. You must beaware of all moving and operating components whichare potentially hazardous, particularly the actuator in aservohydraulic testing system or the moving crossheadin an electromechanical testing system.
Always be fully aware of the possible hazards involvedwhen operating and maintaining these systems. Youmust not operate any materials testing equipment unlessyou are thoroughly familiar with its function and opera-tion. Unfamiliarity with a materials testing system canlead to unexpected actuator or crosshead motion withthe consequent risk of injury and damage.
Carefully read all relevant manuals and observe allWARNINGS and CAUTIONS. The term WARNING isused where a hazard may lead to injury or death. Theterm CAUTION is used where a hazard may lead todamage to equipment or to loss of data.
Ensure that the test set-up to be followed and the actualtest to be performed on materials, assemblies or struc-tures constitutes no hazard to operating personnel.
Make full use of all mechanical and electronic limitsfeatures. These are supplied for your safety to enableyou to prevent movement of the actuator piston beyonddesired regions of operation.
The following pages detail various general warningsthat you must heed at all times while using materialstesting equipment. More specific warnings and cautions

willbe found in the text whenever your attention needsto be drawn to a potential hazard.
Your best safety precautions are to gain a thorough un-derstanding of the equipment by reading your instruc-tion manuals and to always use good judgement.
Preliminary Pages M10-82701-1

WARNING
Disconnect the electrical powersupply before removing the cov-ers to electrical equipment.
You must disconnect the equipment from the electricalpower supply before removing any electrical safety cov-ers or replacing fuses. Do not reconnect the main powersource while the covers are removed unless you are spe-cifically instructed to do so in the manual. Refit coversas soon as possible.
Disconnect power supplies beforeremoving the covers to rotatingmachinery.
You must disconnect the equipment from all power sup-plies before removing any cover which gives access torotating machinery, e.g. belts, screws or shafts. Do not re-connect any power supply while the covers are removedunless you are specifically instructed to do so in the man-ual. If the equipment needs to be operated to performmaintenance tasks with the covers removed, ensure thatall loose clothing, long hair, etc. is tied back. Refit cov-ers as soon as possible.

WARNING
Shut down the hydraulic powersupply and discharge hydraulicpressure before disconnectingany hydraulic fluid coupling.
Do not disconnect any hydraulic coupling without firstshutting down the hydraulic power supply and discharg-ing stored pressure to zero. Tie down or otherwise secureall pressurized hoses to prevent movement during systemoperation and to prevent the hose from whipping aboutin the event of a rupture.
Shut off the supply of compressedgas and discharge residual gaspressure before disconnectingany compressed gas coupling
Do not release gas connections without first disconnect-ing the gas supply and discharging any residual pressureto zero.
Preliminary Pages M10-82701-1

WARNING
Use protective shields or screens ifany possibility exists of a hazardfrom the failure of a specimen, as-sembly or structure under test.
Protective shields should be used whenever a risk of injuryto operators and observers exists from the failure of a testspecimen, assembly or structure, particularly where explo-sive disintegration may occur. Due to the wide range ofspecimen materials, assemblies or structures that may betested using materials testing equipment, any hazard result-ing from the failure of a test specimen, assembly or struc-ture is entirely the responsibility of the owner and the userof the equipment.
Protect electrical cables fromdamage and inadvertent discon-nection
The sudden loss of controlling and feedback signalswhich can result from a disconnected or damaged cablecauses an open loop condition which may drive the ac-tuator or crosshead rapidly to its extremes of motion. Allelectrical cables, particularly transducer cables, must beprotected from damage. Never route cables across thefloor without protection, nor suspend cables overhead un-der excessive strain. Use padding to avoid chafing wherecables are routed around corners or through wall open-ings.

WARNING
Wear protective clothing whenhandling equipment at extremesof temperature.
Materials testing is often carried out at non-ambient tem-peratures using ovens, furnaces or cryogenic chambers.Extreme temperature means an operating temperature ex-ceeding 60 °C (140 °F) or below 0 °C (32 °F). You mustuse protective clothing, such as gloves, when handlingequipment at these temperatures. A warning notice con-cerning low or high temperature operation must be dis-played whenever temperature control equipment is inuse. You should note that the hazard from extreme tem-perature can extend beyond the immediate area of thetest.
Take care when installing or re-moving a specimen, assembly orstructure.
Installation or removal of a specimen, assembly or struc-ture involves working inside the hazard area between thegrips or fixtures. Keep clear of the jaws of a grip or fix-ture at all times. Keep clear of the hazard area betweenthe grips or fixtures during actuator or crosshead move-ment. Ensure that all actuator or crosshead movementsnecessary for installation or removal are slow and, wherepossible, at a low force setting.
Preliminary Pages M10-82701-1
x
WARNING
Do not place a testing system of-fline from computer control with-out first ensuring that no actuatoror crosshead movement will occurupon transfer to manual control.
The actuator or crosshead will immediately respond tomanual control settings when the system is placed off-line from computer control. Before transferring to man-ual control, make sure that the control settings are suchthat unexpected actuator or crosshead movement cannotoccur.
Keep clear of the operating enve-lope of a robotic device unless thedevice is de-activated.
The robot in an automated testing system presents a haz-ard because its movements are hard to predict. The robotcan go instantly from a waiting state to high speed opera-tion in several axes of motion. During system operation ,keep away from the operating envelope of the robot. De-activate the robot before entering the envelope for anypurpose, such as reloading the specimen magazine.

ConfigurationThe Pneumatic Grip Control consists of a control boxthat mounts on one of the load frame columns, a footswitch assembly containing two foot switches, intercon-necting cabling, and interconnecting air hoses with thenecessary hose adapters. Figure 1-1 shows how thesecomponents are mounted and interconnected.
The control box contains solenoid air valves which sup-ply pressurized air separately to the upper and lowerpneumatic grips. The upper and lower grips can thus beoperated independently of each other, making specimeninsertion and removal much faster and easier.

UtilitiesIf your testing location does not have a source of indus-trial pressurized air, an optional, portable air compressoris available. This compressor, Catalog Number 2810-018, is rated for continuous operation at up to 70 psig airpressure using a 1/12 horsepower drive motor. The unitruns very quietly on 115 VAC power sources.
The pressurized air source must supply reasonably dryair. In environments with high humidity, compressingambient air can result in significant amounts of water inthe pressurized air, which could affect the performanceof the grips. In this situation, a water separator or otherdrying device should be included in the air supply line.

Mounting the Control BoxAll Series 5500 Load Frames have a column cover orcolumn cover extension that has vertical grooves to ac-commodate various system consoles and accessories.These accessories slide up and down on the columncover, and are held in place with friction-locking T-nutsin the grooves (see Figure 3-1). To mount the controlbox, do the following:
(a) Decide whether to mount the control box above or be-low other accessories already mounted on the loadframe column.
(b) Place the box against the column so that the T-nutsenter the grooves in the column. Lightly tighten the T-nuts temporarily.
(c) Make sure the air hoses will reach the grips from thecontrol box location chosen. Allow enough slack forthe crosshead to move during the test without puttingstrain on the hoses. Adjust the control box up ordown on the column as necessary.
(d) With the control box in its chosen location, tightenthe T-nuts firmly, but do not overtighten.

Air HosesThere are three air hoses supplied with the system: twohoses connect to the grips and the third connects to thepressurized air source. The grip hoses are supplied withall necessary couplings and adapters, but the supplyhose, because no two air sources are the same, has sev-eral connector options. The basic configuration consistsof a press-fit 1/8-inch NPT male coupling. To this can beadded, if necessary, a 1/8-inch NPT female to 1/4-inchhose barb adapter, a 1/4-inch quick-disconnect connec-tor, or any other adapter or coupling that you choose asnecessary to mate with your air supply hose. Your supplyhose should be 1/4-inch ID.
These are all standard fittings, and finding the right com-bination for your installation should not be difficult.Some of these combinations are included with the AirKit (see Figure 3-2).
To connect the air hoses to the system, do the following:
(a) When facing the Control Box, connect one end of aGrip Air Hose (A563-41) to the air outlet connectormarked “A” on the control box (see Figure 3-3).
(b) Connect the other end of this hose to the upper grip.
(c) Connect one end of the other Grip Air Hose (A563-41) to the air outlet connector marked “B” on the con-trol box.
(d) Connect the other end of this hose to the lower grip.In

Note The above connections will allow the up-per grip to be operated with the first pressof the footswitch, followed by operation ofthe lower grip on the second press. If youwish to have the lower grip operate first,reverse the hose connections above.
(e) Connect one end of the Supply Air Hose to the fittingmarked “P” on the side of the Control Box.
(f) Connect the other end of this hose to a source of pres-surized air, using connectors and adapters as neces-sary. If your test location has no industrial air, use theInstron Portable Air Compressor, Cat. No. 2810-018.
This completes the installation of your Pneumatic GripControl System. Proceed to Chapter 4, Operation, to ad-just and use your Grip Control.

Operating ProceduresPreliminary Setup
There are several types and styles of pneumatic grips, in-tended for different testing applications. To install thegrips on the load frame (i.e. to attach the upper grip tothe load cell and the lower grip to the frame base), referto the instruction manual that came with the grips.
With the grips in place and a specimen ready for load-ing, use the following procedures to operate the pneu-matic grip system:
Adjust Air Supply(a) When facing the load frame, be sure the air hoses to
the grips are connected as follows:
(1) The hose connected to A is connected to the uppergrip.
(2) The hose connected to B is connected to the lowergrip.
Note With the hoses connected as described,one press of the footswitch will open orclose the upper grip, and a second pressof the footswitch will open or close thelower grip. If you wish to open or close thelower grip first, you can reverse the abovehose connections.
(b) Turn on the air supply. Depending on the air source,adjust the line air pressure as follows:
Operating Procedures M10-82701-1
4-2
(1) If you are using an industrial air supply, makesure the air pressure does not exceed approxi-mately 70 pounds per square inch, gauge (psig). Ifpossible, adjust the air pressure at the source. Ifthis is not possible, you must use an in-line pres-sure regulator, and adjust the air pressure at theregulator.
(2) If you are using the Instron Portable Air Compres-sor, adjust its output pressure for the appropriateclamping pressure at the grips (see the Compres-sor instruction manual).
Insert SpecimenTo insert a specimen into the grips, do the following:
Warning
Keep your hands and fingers awayfrom the jaws of the upper andlower grips. The grips can closewith considerable pressure andcan cause injuries.
(a) Ensure both upper and lower grips are open. If not,press the right-hand footswitch marked OPEN.
(b) Insert the upper end of the specimen into the uppergrip and center it in the grip. Make sure the lower endof the specimen enters the lower grip.
(c) Press the left-hand footswitch, marked CLOSE, onceonly to close the upper grip.

(d) If necessary, move the crosshead up or down so thatthe lower grip has enough gripping surface on thespecimen.
(e) Press the left-hand footswitch marked CLOSE a sec-ond time to close the lower grip.
Note If you have reversed the hose connectionsas described in the previous section, youwill be closing the lower grip before theupper grip.
Adjust Gripping PressureThe gripping force on the specimen is a function of thesupply air pressure. You should use the minimum grip-ping force necessary to keep the specimen from slippingin the grips. Too much gripping force can damage deli-cate specimens, may result in premature failure of thespecimen, or cause specimen breakage inside the grips,which will affect test results. Too little gripping forcewill result in specimen slippage in the grips, which willalso adversely affect test results.
Adjust the gripping force by adjusting the supply airpressure, either at the source or at the in-line pressureregulator. Some experimentation may be required to de-termine the optimum air pressure.
Open the GripsAfter a test, you can remove the broken ends of the speci-men by pressing the right-hand footswitch markedOPEN. Both grips will open simultaneously, so holdboth ends of the broken specimen while you open thegrips. Remove the broken specimen pieces.

Routine MaintenanceThe Pneumatic Grip Control System is relatively mainte-nance free in that there are no routine or periodic mainte-nance procedures that must be performed. The gripcontrol unit itself is constructed of materials that resistwear and corrosion, there are few moving parts, and thedesign is simple and rugged.
The only routine maintenance, therefore, is to keep thecomponents clean and to check that there is no moisturebuildup inside the unit.
For cleaning, use a dry cloth for dusting, and use a clothmoistened with water for cleaning dirty fingerprints andsmudges. Do not allow fluids to seep into the unit whilecleaning.
Caution
Do not use solvents or harsh deter-gents for cleaning.
To check for moisture in the pneumatic system, discon-nect the hoses at the grips and operate the footswitcheswhile the system is pressurized. If moisture is expelledfrom the hoses, an air drying device, such as a waterseparator, must be attached to the air supply. After thishas been done, any water in the system will eventuallyevaporate.
Routine Maintenance M10-82701-1
5-2
Corrective MaintenanceIf any parts require replacement, through accident or mis-use, they can be ordered from the factory using the infor-mation in Chapter 6. Air hoses and couplings, electricalcables and their connectors, and mounting hardware areall replaceable in the field. If the control unit or foot-switch assembly fails, it is easier and quicker to replacethe entire unit, rather than try to troubleshoot and replaceindividual parts.
Refer to Chapter 6 for identification and ordering infor-mation on replaceable parts.
