TA-BT-KIT – Fixture Base Table

The Fixture Base Table is used to secure and
position texture fixtures. The Parts List identifies
the co mponents that co me with the kit. Part
numbers, descriptions and quantities of each are
listed.

The Fixture Base Table com e s assembled with
the 1-inch and 1½-inch legs alread y in position.
The assembly drawing shows how these parts go
together.

The Fixture Base Table attaches to the CT3
Texture Analyzer using two T-Bolts (7), Two
Washers (8) and Two Thumb Nuts (9). The T­Bolts (7) slide into the T-shaped channel in the
base of the CT3. The Base Table Insert (1) is flat
on one side and has a cou nterbore on the other
side as shown in the image; either side can be
used for placement of test samples. The Base
Table Insert can be removed to allow other
fixtures, such as the TA-DEC Dual Extrusion
Cell, to be mounted on top of the Fixture Base
Table.

Also included with the Fixture Base Table are
four table legs of 2” length (11) and four table
legs of 4” length (12). The total height of the
Fixture Base Table with all legs in position is 9⅝
inches (244 mm).

Adjustment of the table height is made in order to
position the sample material as close to the test
probe as possible. This will allow the operator to
save time when performing mu ltiple tests on the
same material.

Additional or replacement items can be ordered using the part numbers shown in the Parts List.
