The testing machine is made up by a seamless main frame specifically designed

to guarantee its stability and durability. The piston, centrally positioned in the
upper part of the frame, has a capacity of 500kN and is made of a special metal;
it vertically moves the crosshead on which different sprags, according to the
tests to be carried out on materials, are locked.
The compartment where the test specimens are positioned is protected by a
front cover in polycarbonate with a handle, a safety device, and a rear fixed
guard in polycarbonate. The materials are inserted by the operator into the
testing compartment and are centrally placed on the squared main plate;
depending on the case, additional reduction plates may be used, positioned
below the main plate which must always be present. The reduction plates are
used in function of the height of the specimen to be tested.

The electrical panel is connected to the devices located in the main frame of the
machine (Fig. 8) through a plug/socket system so that can be easily dismantled,
in case of modification and/or fixing requested to the manufacturer, thus
facilitating transport operations.
While carrying out compression tests, the applied load can be controlled (N/s
mm/min). The load control system is innovative: a special oleo-dynamic pump
is used, controlling the oil flow getting to the piston, and then acting accordingly
on the rotation speed of the pump engine. This system ensures high reliability,
precise results, high productivity and low noise, in accordance with the
regulations against noise pollution.
The structural frame and the electrical panel are connected through bolting to
the underlying metal support frame. This support allows the operator to work in
an ergonomic position, is a ground plane for materials next to the test
compartment (on the left side, according to the standard configuration of the
machine) and is located on the lower part of the oleo-dynamic pump unit.

When supplied, the machine is already assembled

and the reservoir of the oleo-dynamic pump unit,
with a 25 l capacity, already contains TOTAL
AZOLLA ZS 46 type oil. Under the reservoir there
is an oil drip tray (with handles and a little larger
than the support frame) for any leakage that may
happen. This helps to decrease the risk that the
operator might slip (Fig. 9a).
The oil warning light as well as the oil outlet plug
are positioned on the back of the reservoir.

Besides the electro- valves for the upwards

and downwards movement of the piston,
the back part of the oleo-dynamic pump unit
also hosts a maximum pressure safety valve.
This valve is calibrated by the manufacturer to
340 bar and, when activated, it downloads oil
into the reservoir.
A second safety valve is positioned on the back
of the piston and is calibrated by the
manufacturer to around 350 bar. If
activated, it sprays oil into the air.

4.3- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The machine was designed and built in such a way as to minimize the risks to
the health and safety of operators and exposed workers.
Following the risk assessment, fixed or interlocking protections (guards) have
been applied on the machine in the hazardous areas to prevent access to the
moving mechanical parts; emergency stop devices such as the mushroom-
shaped button allow to immediately stop any movement of all the movable parts.
The manufacturer also has assessed the residual risks associated with the
normal use of the machine and the maintenance and repair phases. Already in
the designing phase we tried to minimize these residual risks. As indicated in
the previous paragraph, adhesive security plaques were applied on points or on
areas with residual risks to draw the attention of operators and maintenance
workers.
The use of the machine is to be reserved solely for qualified

personnel. The operator must have read these instructions and the
relative annexes and must have been previously trained to use the
machine. A copy of the operating and maintenance manual of the
machine must be kept in a place easily accessible to the operator.
The operators working on or repairing the machine must wear

the necessary P.P.E (Personal Protective Equipment),
complying with the relevant regulations, and in function of the
work they have to execute; they should also be informed, by
the employer or a delegate, on the proper use of the equipment.
ATTENTION! Use the Personal Protective Equipment in the

presence of risks that cannot be avoided or sufficiently reduced by
technical preventive measures or by means of collective protection.
The staff (qualified maintenance workers) executing

extraordinary maintenance must be trained and must have
read this manual as well as the instructions for the
maintenance of the single components of the machine,
before proceeding to operations of their competence.
A copy of the instructions for the use and maintenance of the components must
be available for consultation by the qualified staff.
LBG srl Doc.: 00.00/00 Date: 02/17
Pag.32/91
ATTENTION! Every worker, in the performance of their work, must

strictly follow the instructions received with regard to safety and to
the information in these instructions and in those annexed. All
safety protection, devices, and symbols prearranged by the
manufacturer on the machine must not be removed.
The fixed safety guards such as the rear guard of the polycarbonate test
compartment are not protected by safety sensors. Opening or removing these
fixed guards does not stop the operation.
In the event that, for any requirements in phase of extraordinary maintenance,
it is necessary to remove the guards or safety devices, immediate measures
must be taken to highlight and reduce to a minimum the possible resulting risk.
The guards or safety devices must be immediately put back in place as soon as
the reasons which led to their removal disappear.
ATTENTION! Following maintenance, ensure that all guards

eventually removed have been replaced before resuming use.
It is forbidden to tamper with the machine. Removing guards or bypassing

safety devices is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, this conduct will void the
warranty and in case of injuries to personnel, the user will bear responsibility.
For the extraordinary maintenance, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer,
supplier, or specialised personnel. Use only original spare parts.
Electrical parts
All work on electrical parts of the equipment must be performed by specialised
personnel qualified as electrician.
ATTENTION! It is forbidden to perform

ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
work before the supply has been
disconnected. The machine must be stopped
and without a power supply.

4.5- SPECIFIC WARNINGS
During the normal operations of the machine and for ordinary maintenance
works, the operator must be equipped with the following P.P.E.:
ATTENTION! The operator, during the normal

use of the machine, must wear Personal
Protective Equipment to protect hands and
feet: gloves and safety footwear.
LBG srl Doc.: 00.00/00 Date: 02/17
Pag.35/91
ATTENTION! It is advised to perform cleaning

operations of test remains by means of a brush
instead of compressed air jets, in order to
minimise the risk of projection of materials and
dust to exposed people. In any case, wear
goggles and, if necessary, a protective mask
(in addition to gloves and safety footwear).
Daily check that there are no copious oil leakages from the hydraulic circuit
that might generate sliding risk for the operator.
In case of abnormal situations, it is forbidden to restart the machine before it

is remedied. If these problems arise at the end of a work shift, before walking
away, the operator must affix to the control panel a sign informing that the
machine is undergoing maintenance and that it is forbidden to restart it. The
operator must manage to remove from the machine and its surrounding area all
the loose objects that are not an integral part of the machinery (e.g. tools left
in place after maintenance, personal items, etc.).
The operator and maintenance staff intervening on the machine must wear
suitable work clothes without fluttering parts; also, they must not wear
necklaces or bracelets or other things that can be easily grabbed by moving
mechanical parts; in case of long hair, hairnets must be used to prevent any
entanglement.
The operations to check the safety devices can only be carried out by
personnel whose technical capability to perform specific jobs under tension has
been recognized.
The operations of extraordinary maintenance can only be executed by

personnel of the LBG srl company or by authorised personnel who must know
all the dangers and must be equipped with all necessary P.P.E.s, complying with
all safety precautions as prescribed by the law and local regulations.
Remember that, with the general switch open, the terminals of the power cables
to the circuit-breaker are always live, unless you act on another switched
installed upstream by the user. Dangerous voltages are present in the converters
up to 5 minutes after being switched off because of the capacitors inside the
units. Therefore, do not act on the connection terminals to the DC bus before a

located in the vicinity of the danger zone. The button is red, mushroom-shaped
and on a yellow background. Once activated it remains locked. The reset is
possible only by manual action, mechanically unhooking the button (reset). This
will not cause the starter, unless the specific reset button is used. The lack of
power supply causes the arrest without the possibility of automatic restart.
A fixed crankcase protects the hazardous perimeter area; to dismantle the
machine, the use of tools is required. Front cover interlocked with a safety
control switch. Reset control positioned on the pushbutton station with complete
visibility over the danger zone. Starting the machine can only happen with the
front cover closed. A maximum pressure valve is present on the piston and on
the oleo-dynamic pump unit. Mandatory use of adequate PPE: gloves, safety
footwear.
Danger zone: area in the vicinity of the machine, area in front of the machine.
Danger: cutting, abrasion, contact with material subjected to compression tests.

compression test, the operator or maintenance worker must use adequate PPE:
gloves.
Danger zone: interaction with oleo-dynamic circuit.

Danger: leakages of the hydraulic system, system under pressure, burns, scalds,
impact, crushing.
Risk reduction: during the design stage, oversize pipes and fittings of the
hydraulic circuit have been preferred. Provision must be made to train staff on
the features of the machine.
The high temperature areas (pump engine) are marked by pictograms signalling
the danger of hot surfaces. The operator or maintenance worker must use
adequate PPE: gloves and safety footwear.
Danger zone: electrical system

Danger: live parts, burns, electrocution, direct contact, indirect contact, fire,

generation of electrostatic charge. The electrically live components are marked
by adhesive pictograms signalling an electrical danger.
The operator or maintenance worker must use adequate PPE: gloves and safety
footwear.

Danger: lighting, loss of direct visibility of the work area, stress, fatigue.
Risk reduction: Where the machine is installed there should be a light level in
compliance with the relevant regulations on workplaces. The light level of the
laboratory should allow a quick detection of the control panel and in particular
of the emergency stop buttons. In case of ordinary maintenance, the lighting
must allow the operations to be executed in full safety.
Danger zone: area in front of the machine.

Danger: effort, repetitive tasks, painful and tiring postures, human
error/improper conduct.
Risk reduction: the loading and unloading of materials for the tests are carried
out at a work rate that is not excessive and does not require physical stress or
fatigue to the operator. The weight of the material is limited and the operator is
not subjected to excessive efforts for the handling. The operator must be trained
on the use of the machine and about the proper procedures, and will have to
use adequate PPE: gloves and safety footwear.

8- MAINTENANCE
8.1- GENERAL INDICATIONS
The operator must carry out a daily visual inspection of the state of the machine,
pipes, and connections.
Daily cleaning
It is up to the operator to keep the machine clean from foreign materials such
as waste, test residues, oil and others. To do so, a cleaning session should be
carried out after every work shift, with the machine in a stationary position.
It is recommended to clean the test residues through a brush rather than
compressed air jets, to minimise the risk of projection of materials and dust
towards exposed people. Please wear adequate Personal Protective Equipment.
Using flammable liquids is forbidden while cleaning. Once the machine has
been cleaned, the operator must visually check that there are no worn out,
damaged parts (if this is the case, immediately ask for the help of a maintenance
worker) or parts not firmly attached (intervene within the limits of your
possibilities). Special attention should be paid to the integrity of the electric and
oleo-dynamic systems, flexible pipes, or other parts prone to wear.
Do not use solvents or chemical products on the polycarbonate parts,

use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and soap; always dry out
with a soft cloth not to ruin the surfaces.
Cleaning the UDI24PRO digital indicator
To clean the indicator, use a dry soft cloth.

If the surface is very dirty, use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water
and soap, or a weak detergent solution. Then dry once more with a dry soft
cloth. Do not use solvents, gasoline, or chemically treated clothes. These
products can ruin the outer finishing and the membrane of the keyboard.
Control and maintenance of the oleo-dynamic system
Regularly check the correct application of sittings and pipes of the oleo-dynamic
system. In case of leakages or ruptures, ask the manufacturer for replacement
parts.
LBG srl Doc.: 00.00/00 Date: 02/17
Pag.86/91
Regularly check the oil level in the reservoir and make sure that the oil drain
plug is correctly tightened. You are not supposed to regularly change the oil
since the system does not consume it.
In normal conditions, weak oil leakages into the piston are possible; only in case
of excessive leakages there may be a problem in the gaskets of the piston that
would need some extraordinary maintenance. If so, contact the LBG srl
company.
Regularly check the oil drip tray under the reservoir, emptying it when
necessary.
When necessary, refill the oil through the cap positioned in the front of the
machine at the top of the reservoir.
When refilling, the piston must be completely raised or lowered; never refill
the oil with the piston positioned halfway.
If you need to completely replace the oil:
- empty the oil reservoir completely by unscrewing the cap on the back of
the machine (at the bottom of the reservoir), insert a flexible pipe, guide
it to a drip tray of adequate capacity and start the machine. Wait until it
is completely empty.
- reposition the cap of the oil reservoir;
- refill the reservoir (25 l capacity) with TOTAL AZOLLA ZS 46 type oil
through the upper cap.
Control and maintenance of structural parts
A monthly check of the correct fastening of the frame mounting bolts to the
support frame (M10 allen-headed bolts, hexagon socket head screws -Fig. 4)
should be carried out. The fixing points are both on the front and on the back of
the machine.
A monthly check of the correct fastening of the bolts on the moving
crosshead should also be carried out. (Fig. 64).
The two lateral M10 bolts fixing the

crosshead with the guide columns of the
piston can be easily reached through a
dynamometric key to fix them (clock-
wise) with a 30 Nm tightening torque.
To control the correct fixing of the M10

bolt positioned at the centre of the
crosshead, in the sprag compartment,
pull the black knob on the crosshead to
Fig. 64
LBG srl Doc.: 00.00/00 Date: 02/17
Pag.87/91
insert the dynamometric key. Also in this case the tightening torque is a 20 Nm
one.
8.2- DISPOSAL
The machine can be disassembled and disposed of by authorised firms.
ATTENTION! Before proceeding with the dismantling of the

different components, make sure to have cut the power. Wear
Personal Protective Equipment.
The machine is essentially made up of electrical/electronic parts, metal parts,

plastic parts and oil. While dismantling the main parts of the machine, the
components will need to be grouped according to type and nature, to proceed
with their scrapping as required by the law.
The materials will be disposed of through specific collecting companies and/or
directly at the authorised landfills according to the case, type of material and
the regulations in force in the country of the users.
Any special waste will need to be registered, collected, and disposed of by
authorised firms.
To completely empty the oil reservoir, just unscrew the cap on the back of the
machine (at the bottom of the reservoir), insert a flexible pipe, guide it to a drip
tray of adequate capacity and start the machine. Wait until it is completely
empty.
