Planning the Location of the Type II Vipros 368 King

The following diagrams provide the details for positioning the Type II Vipros 368 King.

! No obstacles are allowed in the worksheet travel area and the ceiling must be at least 40" above the top of the Type II Vipros

368 King.

! All of the recommended Safety / Maintenance areas should be used, but at a minimum, the doors of the Fanuc 18PC control

must be able to be opened. Any reduction of the listed Safety / Maintenance areas may decrease personnel safety and
increase time and expense of installation and maintenance.

! The Type II Vipros 368 King and Fanuc 18PC control must be protected from direct sunlight or other heat sources. Exposure

to direct heating sources such as infrared heaters have been shown to affect punch and die alignment.

! The positioning of the SBC EX 5.5 Chiller is very flexible. See page 19, SBC EX 5.5 Chiller, for details.

Moving the Vipros Type II Vipros 368 King

Lifting or moving of the Type II Vipros 368 King should be
done only by professional rigging companies well versed in
the moving of large and heavy industrial machinery.
Acceptable moving methods include, lifting by overhead
crane as shown, wheeled dollies beneath the machine feet,
or adequately sized forklift forks beneath the machine
frame.

The Type II Vipros 368 King has a relatively high center of
gravity and narrow footprint. Care must be taken to prevent
inadvertent tipping of the machine while in motion.

Foundation Requirements

The Type II Vipros 368 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 on page 23, 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 related 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 Type II Vipros 368 King to a new foundation or an

existing floor. These methods are designed to install the Type II Vipros 368 King 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 Type II Vipros 368 King, confirm that the
chosen method is compatible with all purchased optional items and planned expansion.

Machine Leveling

Proper Machine leveling is critical to the Type II Vipros 368 King 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.

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-Shimming
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.

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 further from the machine
