Foundation Requirements

The Pega 357 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 on page 21, Plan View - Foundation .

The minimum acceptable floor conditions to assure a successful installation are:
! 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.

! The floor must be 4" to 6" thick.
! The floor must be capable of supporting 3.5 tons/ft².
! The floor must be level to 0.032"/ft.

If the existing floor meets the minimum requirement list above, it must still be inspected carefully when the anchor-bolt holes are
cut. Voids under the floor, or wetness (not associated with the hole cutting procedure) should be considered signs of an
inadequate floor and a new machine location or new foundation must be considered.

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!

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 rela ted problems. Solid
leveling devices are acceptable provided they incorporate a means of anchoring the machine to the floor with the supplied J­bolts or alternative anchoring method.

Special Note: This document details several methods of anchoring the Pega 357 to a new foundation or an existing floor.

These methods are designed to install the Pega 357 as a stand-alone machine using the supplied anchor bolts
and base plates. 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 Pega 357, confirm that the chosen method is compatible with all
purchased optional items and planned expansion.

Removing the Protective Coating

The Pega 357 must be thoroughly cleaned of protective coating. The sheet metal guards can be removed from around the
turret to allow cleaning of the upper and lower turrets, tool bores and die holders.

Please note the following:
! Remove wrapping paper from the X and Y-axes ball

screws, then remove the protective coating.

! Remove the wrapping paper from the X and Y LM

guides then remove the protective coating, make sure
that you remove the paper from both sides of the
carriage.

! Clean die holders one at a time. Remove a die holder,

clean and replace it before removing the next die
holder. If the die holders are mixed up, serious turret
alignment problems may occur.

! A suitable solvent should be used to remove the

protective coating.

Machine Leveling

Proper Machine leveling is critical to the Pega 357 performing as designed.
Materials and tools required:

Supplied with the machine:

Assorted thickness machine leveling shim stock
Anchor bolts
Supplied by AESI service:
Spirit level capable of reading 0.0005"/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.

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"

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.

To move the weight bearing points f u rther 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.

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.

To move the weight bearing points f u rther from the machine

plate and leveling shims as shown is recommended.

After the half-shims are installed and the machine frame is

11. With the weight of the carriage end of the machine supported by
the bottle jack. Monitor the level of the turret in the x-axis, as the
bottle jack is slowly lowered to place the carriage end machine
feet in contact with the base plates.

12. Any change in the level indicates that the carriage end of the
machine needs to be leveled.

13. Lift the carriage end of the machine frame to allow shimming
between the machine feet and base plates to level the carriage
end of the machine frame in the x-axis direction.

14. Repeat steps 11 and 13 until no difference in level is noted when
