Page 11: Description
The clamp assemblies can be moved vertically on carriages and are locked at the required gauge length by knurled thumb nuts. • The horizontal position of the clamp assemblies can be adjusted, using knurled thumbscrews, to allow for different specimen thicknesses. • The specimen gripping force is adjustable. Product Support: www.instron.com... - Page 12 • The 2603-080 and 2603-084 extensometers are self-identifying, so that they can be calibrated automatically on suitably equipped machines. The 2603-085 and 2603-086 extensometers are not self identifying and require different calibration procedures depending on the load frame model and application software in use.
