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.
