At the time of press the high-speed cold bump pull load cell is calibrated using
the same weights as used with the 4000 machine. Each range is calibrated with
a weight specific to that range i.e. 5Kg, 2.5Kg, 1Kg and 500g.
8.2 SHEAR CARTRIDGE CALIBRATION
Shear cartridges are calibrated by using Dage designed weights and a special jig.
To calibrate, proceed as follows:
DS80Kg (For Use with the Zone Shear Table only)
DS100KgHS
At the time of press the DS100KgHS cartridge is only used for ball clearance. This is not
intended to be used for zone shear in the current set up. In light of this it is not necessary
to calibrate this load cell, as the data will not be recorded.
Fit the 80kg calibration jig so that the
weight hangs at the front of the machine.
The calibration software will instruct you
which weight to use.
