OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR 2712-04X AND 2712-05X GRIPS

2701-220 and CP116858 Specimen Alignment Device

Ensuring that each specimen is subjected to the same axial loading has an important influence on the repeatability of the testing system. The optional specimen alignment device ensures that the specimen is loaded vertically every time. It can be used with rigid and semi-rigid materials where the specimen can be pressed lightly against the backstop for rapid loading, or with flexible materials, such as tapes and foils, where the backstop provides a visual cue. It can be mounted above or below the jaw faces depending on the specimen design. Repeatable, quick, and simple to adjust.

2701-221 Combined Specimen Holder and Specimen Alignment Device

The 2701-221 combined specimen holder and specimen alignment device (patent pending) is an optional item for 2712-041 and 042 pneumatic side-action grips. The spring-loaded grippers hold the specimen while the operator closes the grips prior to starting the test. This avoids the pinch hazard associated with manually holding the specimen near the jaw faces during grip closure. The built-in adjustable specimen centering device ensures repeatable alignment and speedy operation.
