Installation

Machine Foundation

CAUTION

Ensure that the machine is installed on a level floor of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

SW020

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation, eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during extract.

The machine must be installed on a smooth, level surface so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not support the machine on only four points.)

Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are shown in the table below. This table can be used as a reference when designing floors and foundations.
