2-3. Foundation
To maintain its bending accuracy, install the machine on a flat concrete
floor constructed strong enough to carry its mass. Before carrying the
machine to the location, execute the foundation work by referring to the
foundation drawing supplied by AMADA. If the ground is soft with a
bearing capacity of 49 kN/m
2 {0.51 US tonf/ft 2
}
or less, reinforce the
foundation with steel bars or the like.
2-4. Placing
Usually, fixing the machine with anchor bolts is not necessary.
Place base plates (150 mm {6 in.} square and 9 to 16 mm {0.4 to 0.6 in.}
thick steel plates) on the foundation, and install the machine on the base
plates.
2-5. Leveling
After installing the machine, be sure to level it. Unless it is properly
leveled, it will not perform and last as originally designed. Leveling the
machine calls for the use of spirit levels accurate to 0.05 mm/m {0.0006
in./ft} or less, a thickness gauge, and stretch bars (or die holders).
Levelness in left-right direction
Place a spirit level at the center of the ram.
