1. OBJECTIVE
• Conducting the Proto on MMS to check the deflection of Robotic Purlin. Proto should be performed for 3 section sizes of Robotic
Purlin.
Section size -1 – 90x40x12x0.8 mm (Channel with lip section)
Section size -2 – 80x45x40x0.8mm (Hat section)
Section size -3 – 70x40x15x0.8mm (Channel with lip section)

2. CODES& STANDARDS
• There is no IS code procedure for measuring the deflection. The test is being performed to check the deflection of Robotic Purlin.

3. GENERAL

• Before starting the proto check whether all the bolts of the structure are tightened or not.
• After finishing checking of the bolts, reference point must be established for checking the deflection of Robotic Purlin.
• For establishing the reference point sag rod to be placed in the front and back end of the structure as shown in the picture below.

MIDSPAN AT FRONT AND BACK

• After finishing the erection of sag rod, the centre of all sag rods to be marked with marker.
• Line dory to be tied along the centre line of all the sag rods.

• Once the reference point is established, the center of the web of robotic Purlin to be marked with a marker. The distance from the
center of the web Robotic Purlin to the line dory to be measured IN horizontal and vertical directions and the values to be noted in the
respective Column-1 of Table-1 and Table -2. This is the intial vertical & Lateral deflection.

After measuring the intial deflection values, Load cell to be placed to find out the lateral load acting on the Robotic Purlin member. The load cell
should be placed exactly opposite to the wheel of the robotic Frame. Typcial picture of load cell arrangement is shown below for Channel and
Hat Robotic Purlins.

• The Robot frame to be placed on the Module mounting structure.

• During the placing of the robot frame ensure that reference sag rod or line dory are not disturbed.
• After erecting the robot frame check the verticality of leg with and inclinometer.
• After placing the Eccopia robot frame on the MMS, the measurements to be made from the center of the Robotic Purlin to the line
dory.
• The final deflection values to be recorded and tabulated in the tables
