Moving between machines
You can move the extensometer between different testing machines by removing the
entire assembly of extensometer and mounting bracket and mounting it on another
machine of the same type. Different testing machines may require different mounting
brackets and various spacers, although the vertical post assembly that supports the
extensometer is common to all machines. Additional accessories, such as a
temperature chamber, may require different post assemblies. The following sections
describe the installation on a number of different testing machines. Installations on
older or non-Instron machines may involve custom mounting schemes and are not
covered here.
For the purposes of installation and moving between testing machines, the AVE2 and
SVE2 are identical. All references to AVE2 in the following sections also apply to SVE2.
Figure 2 on page 26 shows the T-nut (A) inserted in the appropriate slot in the column
on the frame. These T-nuts form the anchors for the support brackets on 6800, 3400,
5900, 3300 and 5500 Series testing machines.
