Usage hour calculation
  1. If the usage is less than 1 hour, it will be calculated as 1 hour.
  2. If the machine usage time or test time (such as dynamic fatigue) needs to span Saturdays, Sundays, or national holidays, an additional overtime fee of 1,000/day will be charged because personnel must be dispatched to monitor or accept the case. Fee flexibility can be discussed during consultation.
Term of Use:
  1. the operator must possess the necessary qualifications to operate the machine. The management unit will approve the qualifications, which include having taken relevant courses, passing the examination and certification by the administrator, or having experience using the same machine or training certificate.
  2. It is important to note that the maximum load of this machine is 10,000 Newtons. Careless operation can lead to machine damage, load cell damage, and compromise experimental safety. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the above safety and software operation settings. 
    Only professionals can operate the machine and must not manage it alone. A machine technician must be present at all times during operation. Additionally, machine rental is not allowed.
Opening hours:
The device can conduct static and dynamic load experiments. It can operate for 24 hours, making conducting long-term experiments such as dynamic load experiments possible. However, the device can only be used during the working hours of the management unit. Below are the details:
 
  1. Machine Operating Hours: It can operate 24/7, except during maintenance, repair, calibration, and troubleshooting. Usage is calculated based on hourly units; any usage of less than an hour will be counted as an hour.
     
  2. Operating Hours for Users: From Monday to Friday, the machine is open to users from 09:00 to 19:00. During the reservation period, users can operate during the available operating hours. If the operating hours are not open to the public, additional operating hours must be arranged with the technical staff in advance.
Please follow the steps below to reserve and use the equipment from the instrument center of our school:
  1. Check the availability of the machine on the instrument center website. Then, contact the responsible unit to discuss your experiment's details and get their approval. Once both parties agree on the use and experimental content, make an appointment on the instrument center website.
  2. If you are approved to use the equipment, go to the equipment center by yourself and register for an account on the Online Appointment Registration System. Make an appointment and register for use at least 5 working days in advance. If you are unable to operate the machine for any reason after making the reservation, please cancel the reservation one day in advance through the instrument center system. Otherwise, you will be charged according to the reservation time.
  3. Within three working days after the appointment, a dedicated person will contact you to discuss the experimental content, such as experimental samples, experimental methods, experimental setup, etc. You need to prepare any special fixtures required for the experiment.
  4. After meeting the above conditions, the technician will notify you within two working days to approve the use.
  5. Once approved, download the application form from the instrument center website, fill in the usage hours and related fees, and send it to Mr. Hsuan-Wen Wang of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (Room B1F-D109, Experimental Research Building, Extension 65461) for contact, delivery time, and machine usage time.
  1. It is important to note that using the machine without proper care may damage the machine and its components or even cause personal injury. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a specialist before using the machine and agree on usage specifications, content, and fees.
    Only a specialist designated by the responsible unit could operate the machine. Clients are not permitted to operate the machine by themselves.
  2. Consultation Fees:
    1. For doctoral or doctoral-class trained personnel (ISO 17025 and machine use training courses), the consultation fee is a fixed amount of NT$2,000/time for initial use. The fee may be waived for similar tests or considered for renewals or previous consultations based on evaluation by the responsible unit.
    2. Coordination of Experimental Content and Fixtures:
      1. Clients must provide the correct fixtures and follow the instrument's usage specifications and consultation instructions.
      2. If the client cannot provide the fixture and the responsible unit has the fixture, the rental charges will be coordinated during consultation based on the experiment's content.
      3. If the client cannot provide the fixture, the responsible unit can design and manufacture the fixture, with the amount coordinated during consultation based on the experiment's content.
         
    3. Experimental Results Provided:
      1. Raw data from experiments will be provided.
      2. Clients are requested to take photos of the experimental setup and the machine.
      3. All samples used in experiments will be returned upon completion.
         
    4. Handling Violations:
      1. If an operator fails to adhere to safety rules or standard procedures, resulting in malfunction or damage, the operator's laboratory will compensate and suspend the operator's rights to use the equipment for one month.
      2. It is essential to accurately fill in the "Instrument Usage Record Form" before and after use to avoid a one-week suspension in case of inaccuracies.
      3. Anyone found pretending to hold certification to operate an instrument will be suspended from using the equipment for one month.
      4. After the experiment completion, users must handle and store experimental samples and data properly, as the center will not be responsible. Timely return of samples is encouraged to avoid inconveniencing others or losing samples.
      5. Users are expected to maintain cleanliness and tidiness in the instrument environment and take good care of the instrument and related equipment.
These rules were approved by the Instron E10000 Linear-Torsion All-Electric Dynamic Test Instrument management committee meeting and submitted to the Users' Committee of the NYCU Instrumentation Resource Center for review. (revised on 2018.10.25)
