The REOVIB MTS series includes one, two and three-channel control devices for vibratory conveyor drives.

These are phase angle controllers with a TRIAC as the power element.
The vibration frequency of the conveyor devices can therefore be either the same as or twice as large as the mains frequency of the input voltage.
Plug connections for all inputs and outputs enable quick connection and simplify matters when combining a number of devices with each other or when combining with external control units. The devices function using digital technology and are operated via an LED or an LCD display and buttons. All settings can be carried out from outside, without the housing having to be opened up.

PC Preparation
1. MATE requires the use of a RAMDRIVE when usedon a PC. To facilitate this, the PC may berebooted.At the first menu in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, the option 'Mate(new)'should be chosen.
To checkif the RAMDRIVE exists, at any DOS prompt, type 'a:' If the prompt is 'F.:>',then the RAMDRIVE has already been created and the RAMDRIVE already exits.If the response is 'Invalid Drive Specification', then no RAMDRIVE hasbeen created and the system must be rebooted.

2. Go to the directory in which the data will bestored. Make sure that at least 3 Megs of hard drive space is available,with 5 Megs being more preferable. For ease of use, start MATE in the directoryin which the data will be stored.
Example,all test data is stored on the E: drive, 'E:JASONRESRAWDATA'

Test Preparation
1. Prepare specimen with applicable procedures.
Cut tosize.
Polishif necessary.
Put specimenID on each piece of specimen for identification. If the specimen is testedto failure, put ID's on each part of specimen.
Have allmeasurements (width, thickness, notch length, Yield stress, Young's Modulus,etc., hand for inputting into MATE when prompted after starting test.

2. Decide on ranges for loads, extensometer, andstroke and install appropriate cartridges intocontrollers.
Calculatethe approximate loads,strains, S compliances that will occur during thetest.
Installload cartridges that will provide the largest Voltage in the system whilestill remaining in the applicable test ranges. For example, for a loadrange of 1750 Ibs on the 20 Kip load cell, choose the +2000 Ibs cartridge;or if load range is 0 to 7600 Ibs., chose +10 Kip cartridge to maximizesystem voltage.
Insertappropriate strain transducer, i.e. strain gage, clip gage, or extensometer,and matching range cartridges
Leave Displacementcartridge at 100%, unless using displacement control for test.

3. Install appropriate grips into test machine.
Adjustcross-head if necessary, making sure to re-tighten the Allen screws to140 ft-lbs on the cross-heads.
If usinghydraulic grips, calculate the gripping force using the equations on thegrip control.

4. Install any other necessary equipment to be usedduring the test.
Get appropriateequipment ready for use in testing, i.e. microscopes, lights, cameras,or environmental chambers.

5. If necessary, warm-up test machine.
It is necessaryto warm-up the hydraulic oil after periods of non-use. Ideally, the machineshould be warmed up before any testing is performed; however, it is especiallynecessary after periods of non-use over several days.
See appropriatesection of warming up of machine.

Test Machine Startup & SpecimenInstallation (note:output from display in Microconsole)
1. Turn console power on, located in lower leftof control tower.
Press 'Enter'on 458.20 Microconsole when prompted.
Choose458.11 Force Transducer for display mode.

2. Change Control Setting to Load control.

3. Adjust all SPAN on all controllers to 0.00. This closes the amount of electronic signal that the test machine willreceive from the MATE program. Do not change Spans until the appropriatestep.

4 Check all Transducer Fullscale settings and changewhere appropriate.
If anycartridges were changed, input the value that corresponds to 10 Volts (asshown on the front of each cartridge).

5. Check Shunt Calibrations.
For eachcontroller, there exists a written Shunt Calibration on the top of eachcartridge that ranges from 0 to 10. Pressing the Shunt Cal button, nearthe error lights in each controller, will display the shunt calibrationas a percentage when the Microconsole is set to Transducer outputt. Notethat the on output before pressing the Shunt Cal must be close to 0.00to get an accurate reading. The Transducer Output of the Shunt Cal shouldbe within 2.5 % of the written value on top of the cartridge.

6. Check DC error in load controller.
Adjust,using Load controller Set Point Pot, DC error to < |0.05% | , with preferenceto as close to 0.00% as possible.

7. Balance load controller (if possible).
The following{shown on digital display} should be displayed if the load cell were perfectlybalanced.
Set point = 0.00%
DC error = 0.00%
Transducer output = 0.00%

8. Set initial Limits.
Set initiallimits such that the operator will be able to install the specimen. Theselimits usually are no the testing limits, which will be set after installationof the test specimen.

9. Start system hydraulics.
Start systemin 'Low.' Observe load train for unexpected responses. ff load train appearsfine, then go to 'High' pressure. Again, observe the system response beforecontinuing.

10. Re-balance the LVDT as much as possible.
T ypicallythe LVDT will not initially be balanced. Adjust the Set Point till thesystem is as close as possible to being balanced, i.e. the LVDT does notmove much, or moves very slowly.

11. Install specimen into top grip.

12. Re-adjust Set point for zero load.
This willzero out the weight of the specimen on the load cell. The forces that willbe then measured after this procedure will be due only to the appliedforcesof the LVDT.

13. Finish installing the specimen into the bottomgrips.

14. Re-adjust the force transducer for zero load.
Accountsfor the weight of the bottom grip.

15. Install strain transducer if necessary.

16. Adjust strain transducer output to -5 Id -8 Volts.
Use ZeroPot. This adjustment allows the strain indicator to measure from -5/-8to +10 Volts, thus effectively doubling the amount of strain that can beread, up to +10 Volts, with the strain indicator.

17. Adjust stroke transducer output to 0.00.
Use ZeroPot to bring the output to 0.0 Volts. This will allow the limits to beat a smaller value, thus more effectively controlling the limits and interlocks.

18. Adjust Upper and Lower Limits on all three controllers.
Typicallythe Limits are different during the test than during the installation ofthe specimen. Usually, for cyclic tests, there is little LVDT displacement.Additionally, these limits will help determine if a test has gone awry.

MATE Startup
1. Check for RAMDRIVE (see PC Preparation).

2. Go to appropriate directory where informationwill be stored during test.

3. Make sure Printer is turned on. MATE willnot start unless the printer is turned on.

4. Type 'mate' at DOS prompt to start MATE in currentdirectory.

5. Check Output voltages on Voltmeter.
Go to UtilitiesSubmodule.
Go to ATOD_VMmultimeter subroutine.
Look atP-P line {peak to peak noise}. if all values are <0.050 Volts, thencontinue. gsome value is > 0.050 Volts, check system. Possible reasonsare: extensometer not set right, cable not correctly attached to load cell,or hydraulics have not been warmed up.

6. Calibrate extensometer if necessary.
Use onlyif using new clip gage or if appropriate calibration equipment is available.
Go to UtilitiesSubmodule.
Go to MATEEXT_CAL subroutine.
Followinstructions.

7. Go to appropriate test module and follow instructions.
The followingare the 9 main test modules supplied in MATE. For further information,check MATE Organization Outline of Modules.
Monotonic Testing Crack Propagation Sustained Load
Low Cycle Fatigue Fracture Mechanics Diagnostics
High Cycle Fatigue Spectrum Loading Utilities

8. Be sure to adjust appropriate SPAN, and only adjustwhen prompted to turn span up or span down.
The Span Pot, when working withMATE, acts as a gate that allows voltage signals to travel from the PCto the MTS 458.20 Controller. When the Span is at 0.0, no electronic signalwill get to any of the controllers. When the Span is turned up, the electronicsignal will then pass to that controller. The amount that the Span is openeddetermines how much of the signal gets to the controller, for example,Span = 0.0 lets no signal in, Span = 10.0 lets all of the signal amplitudein, and Span = 4.0 lets 40% of the signal amplitude to the controller.

During Test general tips andhints)
1. For Crack Growth tests, check the inputted effectiveYoung'sModulus against Handbook values.
The Young'sModulus is used to determine the crack length from the measured compliance.If the value varies by more than 5% Handbook values (or 10% for an ASTMstandard test {E 647}), check for problems with the load or extensometercalibrations, or possibly wrong specimen dimensions. Adjust the EffectiveYoung's Modulus using DAC testsas describedbelow in strain data checks.

2. Check strain data.
If performingcyclic tests utilizing clip gages or extensometers, check the load vs.displacement plot from each DAC. The plot should be linear in the unloadingregime from 40% to 90% . if not check for gage placement. Perform anotherDAC to check load vs. displacement plot. Adjust until load vs. displacementplot is linear and the Young's Modulus is correct to within 5%.
If performingmonotomic test, perform checkout to a stress value below the yield limitsof the material to determine if the system is operating correctly.

3. Periodically check the Amplitude Factor duringa cyclic test.
The AmplitudeFactor is a gain that is applied to the test system that corresponds tothe ratio of the command signal amplitude to the actual load amplitude.This value should stay between 0.75 and 1.5 for the duration of the test.If the value exceeds these bounds, adjust the system gain on the 458.11Controller (Very slowly) or reduce the testing frequency
Typicallyvalues of 0.90 to 1.10 are typically acceptable.

Shutting Down a Test
1. While still in MATE, save a restart file in 'FileOptions,' and a data file if necessary.

2. If specimen has fractured and interlocks havetripped, turn down the appropriate Span.
This disconnectsthe PC and 458.20 Controller so that no more signal can get into the controllerduring MATE shutdown.

3. Remove specimen and label specimen parts withspecimen ID, if necessary.

4. Go to Main Menu in MATE, following directionsfor Span adjustment.
This isa soft safegaurd so that no residual inputs are left in the system if multipletests are run consecutively.

5. If the Hydraulics are still running, turn offif no more testing is to be performed.
Go to 'Low'pressure S observe system for unexpected responses.
Press offor hydraulic pressure.

6. If using hydraulic grips, release residual pressure.
With systemhydraulics off, open and close one of the grips. This relieves the residualpressure in the grips.

Warming up the MTS Fatigue TestMachine
1. Be sure that Limits are set, especially the LowerLimit in the Force Transducer.
This isto prevent damage to the system, especially the load cell.

2. Follow steps 1-10 in 'Test Machine Startup &Specimen Installation.'

3. Move LVDT such that the top and bottom of thegrips are at least 2 inches apart.
If systemis properly balanced, simply apply a light compressive load to the loadcell by hand.

4. Change Control to Stroke Control (AC Controller).
IMPORTANT:BE SURE TO HAVE LIMITS SET, ESPECIALLY LOWER LIMIT ON FORCE TRANSDUCERTO PREVENT EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
ChangeDisplay to Stroke.
AdjustLVDT Set Point until DC error is 0.00.
Press 'ControlTransfer Enable' and Stroke 'Control' buttons.
Observesystem response, be ready to use Emergency Stop button.
Slowlyadjust Set Point Pot in direction of indicator lights until Control Transferis complete.
Stop adjustingSet Point as soon as control is transferred.

5a. MATE Function Generator.
