Foundation Requirements
The Type II Vipros 358 King 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:
! 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 related problems. Solid
leveling devices are acceptable provided they incorporate a means of anchoring the machine to the floor with the supplied Jbolts.
Special Note:

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.
Set M500 values to Top Position 0.080", Bottom Position, 0.080", Slow Position 0.000"
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-Shimm ing
should be used.
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.

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-Shimm ing
should be used.
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
