Vortex-I Assembly And Installation; Fitting The Crosshead To The Vortex-I; Connecting The Intelligent Torque Cell - Mecmesin MultiTest–i Series Assembly And Installation Manual

4. Vortex-i Assembly and Installation

4.1 Fitting the crosshead to the Vortex-i

Slide the crosshead onto the two support columns and tighten both securing thumb-screws.
Different height samples can be accommodated by moving the complete crosshead up
and down. Additional adjustment is available by moving the top-load carrier.
If a top-load is to be used, the securing knob (arrowed) is generally left undone during
measurement so the carrier can slide up and down. If a top load is not to be used,
securely tighten the locking knob after adjusting to the height required.

direction.
