Chapter 3 - Site Preparation
The following guidelines are intended to help you get the most out of your new machine
tool. The success of your machine tool depends largely on having proper air and power
supplied to it. Failure to adhere to the following guidelines will result in unsatisfactory
performance and component failure.
Machine Placement Considerations
Choose a location for the machine that offers the following:
1. At least 4” thick concrete slab free of cracks and not crossing any expansion joints.
Milltronics will not guarantee machine geometry unless this is adhered to.
2. Ample ceiling height, and clearance behind the machine to fully open the door of the
electrical cabinet at the rear of the machine. (see machine dimensions drawing
in section 2 for distance)
3. Do not subject the machine to direct sunlight.
4. Do not allow the ambient temperature to exceed 100F or 37C. Temperatures
beyond 100F or 37C may cause unusual control behavior.
Note: Locate the leveling pads and install them into the base of
the machine before placing the machine on the floor!
