How do I set the crosshead travel limits on my ATEK Lloyd LD30 Dual Column Test Stand?

[LeAva]

To configure the crosshead movement limits on your ATEK Lloyd LD30 Dual Column Test Stand, please adhere to these steps, referencing the user manual for detailed illustrations:

1. Begin by loosening the limit stop, which can be found along the crosshead's travel path. Move the limit stop to either the highest or lowest position available, and then temporarily tighten it.
2. Next, operate the moving crosshead, guiding it to the maximum or minimum safe position. Ensure that you do not cause damage to any grips, fixtures, or the testing apparatus itself.
3. After establishing the desired endpoint in step two, gently move the crosshead slightly away from that established position.
4. Finally, loosen the limit stop and carefully reposition it so that it is adjacent to the crosshead actuator. Once correctly positioned, tighten the limit stop to secure the setting.

Following these steps carefully allows you to effectively and safely define the crosshead movement limits, ensuring accurate and secure testing with your ATEK Lloyd LD30 Dual Column Test Stand.
