15 Foundation Requirements The EM2510 does not require a special foundation to perform as expected, however there are minimum requirements that an existing floor must meet in order to assure machine reliability and tool life. If the existing floor does not meet the following minimum requirements, plans for a recommended foundation are given in the section Foundation Anchoring Procedure of this document. The minimum acceptable floor conditions to assure a successful installation are: Y The area of the floor where the machine frame is to be located must be a single, homogeneous slab in good condition. There must be no cracks or other signs of deterioration of the floor. Y The floor must be 4" to 6" thick. Y The floor must be capable of supporting 3.5 tons/ft². Y The floor must be level to 0.032"/ft. It is the customer s responsibility to determine that the floor meets these minimum requirements. Placing the machine on an inadequate, cracked floor, or straddling seams in a floor may be grounds for voiding the machine warranty! If there is any question that the floor is not adequate, then a new machine location or new foundation must be considered. Amada America, Inc. does not recommend the use of vibration isolating mounts under the machine feet, as these devices have been shown to increase the vibration within the machine frame, increasing the likelihood of vibration related problems. Solid leveling devices are acceptable provided they incorporate a means of anchoring the machine to the floor. Special Note: This document details several methods of anchoring the EM2510 to a new foundation or an existing floor. These methods are designed to install the EM2510 as a stand-alone machine using the AY base plates, which are included with the machine, or, installation using optional Amada Machine Mounts (Spherical Seat Wedge Mounts). Installation or use of additional options such as leveling pads or material handling systems may dictate other methods of anchoring or foundation design not shown in this document. Before committing to a specific method of anchoring the EM2510, confirm that the chosen method is compatible with all purchased optional items and planned expansion.

16 Foundation Anchoring Procedure An ideal foundation is given on the following pages. This foundation must be used if the existing floor cannot meet the minimum requirements to support the machine. The foundation must consist of a single, homogeneous slab. The foundation must be level to within 0.032" / ft. Anchoring the EM2510 to the floor using the anchor-bolts supplied is essential to ensure reliable performance. Amada generally recommends that the foundation have a minimum load bearing capacity of 3.5 ton/ft 2. It is the purchaser s responsibility to determine that the foundation meets these requirements. Please note the following: Y The machine is shipped with AY Plates for anchoring to the floor using customer supplied anchor bolts. Y A second method using optional Amada Machine Mounts (Spherical Seat Wedge Mounts) and epoxy anchor bolts is also available. The Amada Machine mounts make achieving and maintaining the correct level of the machine easier and faster.

22 Machine Leveling Proper Machine leveling is critical to the EM2510 performing as designed. Materials and tools required: Supplied with the machine: Assorted thickness machine leveling shim stock Anchor bolts Supplied by Amada Service: Spirit level capable of reading "/ft One (1) 12 ton hydraulic bottle jack Not supplied: Additional shim stock of 0.005" thickness may be required to achieve a properly leveled machine. Print Date 03/16/2004 Revision 1.0 This document available on the World Wide Web at Page 22 of 28

23 Rocking Test After the machine frame has been leveled the use of the following G-code is necessary to determine that the machine frame is properly leveled and balanced. Should the machine frame vibrate or move excessively during the rocking test the machine frame must be re-leveled using the procedure in this manual. Should the proper leveling technique not eliminate the excessive frame motion, consideration must be given to relocation of the machine or replacement of the existing floor with an adequate foundation. Repeat test with X-axis movement values of 0.500", 1.000", and 4.000" G92X98.425Y50.

24 Floor Condition: Crowned The flatness of the floor plays an important step in the leveling procedure of the machine. To properly level the machine the weight bearing points must be as far from the centerline of the machine frame as possible. Should a condition known as crowning exist the weight bearing points of the machine may not be far enough from the machine centerline to ensure a stable machine. Under these conditions, a procedure known as Half-Shimming should be used. Machine centerline Crowned Floor Machine Foot Base Plate Weight Bearing Point Base Plate To move the weight bearing points further from the machine centerline the use of half-shims of.125" thick on top of the base plate as shown is recommended. After the half-shims are installed and the machine frame is leveled, use the rocking test to determine that the machine frame is stable enough to allow production without damaging the machine. Under extreme conditions the use of half-shims may not move the machine weight bearing points far enough from the machine centerline to ensure the machine frame is stable. Under these conditions, a more suitable location must be found for the machine, or a new foundation for the machine will be necessary.

25 Floor Condition: Sloped The slope of the floor plays an important step in the leveling procedure of the machine. To properly level the machine the weight bearing points must be as far from the centerline of the machine frame as possible. Should the floor slope excessively the weight bearing points of the machine may not be far enough from the machine centerline to ensure a stable machine. Under these conditions, a procedure known as Half-Shimming should be used. Machine Foot Base Plate Machine centerline Weight Bearing Point Sloped Floor Base Plate Shim To move the weight bearing points further from the machine centerline the use of half-shims of.125" thick on top of the base plate and leveling shims as shown is recommended. After the half-shims are installed and the machine frame is leveled, use the rocking test to determine that the machine frame is stable enough to allow production without damaging the machine. Under extreme conditions the use of half-shims may not move the machine weight bearing points far enough from the machine centerline to ensure the machine frame is stable. Under these conditions a more suitable location must be found for the machine, or a new foundation for the machine will be necessary.
