Introduction
The MTS Series 609 Alignment Fixture improves alignment between the upper
and lower grips of your load unit. Improving alignment reduces bending strains
in your specimen, which produces more accurate test results. This section
discusses the consequences of having misaligned grips and the two types of
adjustments that can compensate for misalignment problems:
•
One set of adjustments compensates for concentric misalignment.
•
One set of adjustments compensates for angular misalignment.
In a typical installation, the Series 609 Alignment Fixture is installed between the
force transducer and crosshead.
