MTS Insight™ Material Testing System 56
Travel Limit Switches (Physical Limits)
Operation
When a physical limit is reached there are three ways to get the crosshead
moving again:
• First press Motor Reset in TestWorks 4. Then use the crosshead capabilities
of your software (virtual handset). Move the crosshead away from the limit
until the switch closes and the crosshead can move in both directions again.
See the TestWorks software manual for further details.
• Manually move the adjustable limit along the range of travel away from the
crosshead until the limit switch is no longer active. Then press Motor Amp
Reset in TestWorks 4 or Handset Enable on the handset.
• If TestWorks 4 is not active, press Handset Enable on the handset. Then use
the manual handset control to move the crosshead until the limit switch is no
longer active.
