MTS Criterion ® Series 40 Product Manual 118
Routine Maintenance Overview Checklist
Maintenance
There are no customer-serviceable components on the MTS Criterion frames.
Maintenance consists of keeping the frame and work area clean, general
inspection, checking interlocks, and scheduled frame calibration.
During routine cleaning, detergents can contact electrical components.
Inadvertent electrical component contamination with detergents or cleaning
fluids can cause circuits to short resulting in equipment damage.
Be careful not to spill and cleaning liquid on the frame.Disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning or inspecting any part of the
test frame.
General cleaning
Clean the frame as often as needed. Use a damp, lint-free rag to clean the side
covers, base, and crosshead. If necessary, mild detergent or cleaning fluid can be
used.
Monthly maintenance
Verify that the Emergency Stop button is functioning properly.
Test the limit switches by manually moving the adjustable limits-a limit switch
fault should be indicated on the computer screen.
Verify any additional interlocks are functioning properly (for example, the
interlock switches on the door of a test area enclosure).
Semiannual
maintenance
Verify the speed and position accuracy of the frame. This requires standards and
other equipment typically not available for routine maintenance. Contact your
MTS field service engineer for assistance.
Removing mats
Some installation and maintenance situations may require you to remove the load
frame mat covers in order to access components within the base of machine.
To remove the mat of the C41and C42 model:
1. Using a ball-end 5 mm hex driver, remove the two M6 bolts holding the
upper horizontal aluminum extrusion on the rear guard and remove the
extrusion.
2. Remove the upper profile from the safety enclosure frame.
3. Gently remove the clear polycarbonate from the safety enclosure and place
it in a safe place.
4. Use the ball-end 5 mm hex key driver to loosen the two M6 bolt connectors
on the lower horizontal aluminum extrusion.
5. Remove the lower profile from the safety enclosure frame.
6. Open the front door, and carefully remove the rubber mat, as the rubber mat
can tear at the corners.
To install the mat, perform the procedures in reverse.
