Safety Guidelines
Autograph systems generate very large forces used to measure the strength characteristics of
materials or products.
In some situations it could cause material damage or serious harm to humans (such as injury
or death).
Therefore, to ensure the system is used safely, please thoroughly understand and observe the
following warnings.
WARNING
Operating the system carelessly could result in serious injury or death. Keep
hands, head and all other body parts away from the testing space when the
crosshead is in motion.
WARNING
Moving parts can produce dangerous forces corresponding to the system
capacity. All operators should read the instruction manual thoroughly to ensure
they operate the system correctly. Control access to the system to ensure only
trained operators operate the system.
WARNING
Due to risk of electric shock, never touch inside the controller unit, located in
the testing machine.
Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Do not open the ball screw shaft protective cover unless lubricating the screw
shaft. Do not leave the shaft cover open while performing tests. Keep hair,
clothing, rags, and fingers from getting caught in the ball screw when
lubricating the ball screw.
WARNING
Keep the face and body away from the test specimen during tests. When the
specimen breaks, flying debris could injure eyes or other body parts. Always
use a safety guard or other measure to provide protection from broken
specimens.
WARNING
Due to risk of electric shock, injury, or fire, wiring, maintenance, and
inspection work should be perform only by a person with specialized expertise.
WARNING
To prevent electric shock, always ground power cables (100 Max.).
WARNING
Do not operate the system in a manner that subjects the crosshead to loads
when the load cell is removed and do not operate the system in a manner that
does not transmit the load to the load cell. Doing so would cause overloading to
be undetected, which could result in damage to the frame or jigs.
Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Never operate the crosshead without crosshead limit switches in place. Doing
so could cause the crosshead to hit the jig and damage the frame, jig, or load
cell.
WARNING
Always use Shimadzu brand testing jigs on Autograph testing machines.
CAUTION
This system includes a built-in safety feature that stops jog or return
movements if the load level applied to the load cell varies by more than a given
amount. This feature is one of the safety circuits, but for fast movements it
cannot eliminate the risk of overshooting. Furthermore, for safety and
operational convenience reasons, this feature will not stop motion in the
unloading direction. Therefore, this feature provides no guarantee that impacts
and overloading will be prevented in the testing space. Also, do not use this
feature for positioning or other control purposes.
CAUTION
For long tests, note that continuous operation is limited to 10 hours for
Autograph systems.
