7.4 LOWER ANCHOR PIN ADJUSTMENT
The Lower Anchor Pin can be adjusted to align itself with the attached load cell. To align the load cell
to the lower anchor pin lower the load cell on to the moving ram so that it is very close to the lower
anchor pin using the jog keys. Loosen the anchor nut using the spanner wrench provided. Loosen
the 4 set screws using a 2.5mm hex key. Align the lower anchor pin to the load cell anchor pin and
then re-tighten the 4 set screws so that the two anchor pins are properly aligned with each other. Re-
tighten the anchor nut using the spanner wrench.

Lower Anchor Pin Locking Collars
The collar is used to secure the lower grip in place. Use the spanner wrench provided to secure the
lower grip to the collar as shown below.
Extreme care must be taken when manoeuvring the crosshead, particularly when low force load cells
are being used as they can easily be damaged even at moderate speeds. As an additional precau-
tion during compression testing the lower (hardware) limit stop should be set so that the compression
plates cannot come together either during or after a test.
