1.2.2
Laying the Foundation for Wir-
ing and Piping
Employ either the underground feeding system ((A)
shown at left) or the pit feeding system (B) depend-
ing upon your factory environments; either one has
advantages and disadvantages.
For factories which are to use the ever-popular
automatic delivery systems, the overhead feeding
system (suspension from the ceiling) may be rec-
ommended in order to avoid interference with wir-
ing and piping of weaving machines.
1.2.3
Floor Surface Conditions
(1) Any irregularity ((A) shown at left) in the floor
levelness should be 5 mm or less for the gluing
installation and bolting installation. It should
be 3 mm or less for the on-the-floor installation.
(2) Surface irregularities (B) of the floor where the
legs of the machine are to be positioned
should be 1 mm or less.
NOTE:
These floor surface conditions will influence
the degree of machine vibration regardless of the
selected installation method.
1.2.4
Preparing Glue or Quick-hardening Cement
J
For the gluing installation method
J
For the straight-bolting installation method
Required wiring
Power routing for the weaving machine(s) and
inverter(s) (Other related wirings, e.g., for moni-
toring and automatic delivery systems)
Required piping
Air pipes (Other related piping, e.g., water piping)
Conduits for network cabling is necessary in
order to adopt the TMS (Toyota Monitoring
System).
Take it into consideration from the plant
designing stage by referring to Appendix 4-2.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT
If you are responsible for the preparation of the glue, prepare it before the start of installation work.
IMPORTANT
If you are responsible for the preparation of the quick-hardening cement (Polymortar) and straight bolts, pre-
pare them before the start of installation work, as well as preparing M16 nuts and 6-class washers.
