Installing the Electrical Power Supply
The Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT requires two separate electrical power sources. The first power source is supplied to the AMNC-F.
The other supply source goes to the SBC EX 5.5 Chiller. The Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT should be supplied from a power line
separate from those for welding machines or other machines that produce electrical noise.
The Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT electrical inlet is 75" above floor level at the rear of the AMNC-F control.
The SBC EX 5.5 Chiller electrical inlet is approximately 53" above floor level.

Planning the Location of the Machine
The following diagrams provide the details for positioning the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT.
Y No obstacles are allowed in the worksheet travel area and the ceiling must be at least 40" above the top of the Vipros lll
Z/K 3510 NT.
Y All of the recommended maintenance areas should be used, but at a minimum the doors of the AMNC-F NC unit must be
able to be opened. Any reduction of the listed maintenance areas may increase time and expense of installation and
maintenance
Y The Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT and AMNC-F control must be protected from direct sunlight or other heat sources. Direct
exposure to direct heating sources such as infrared heaters have been shown to affect punch and die alignment.
Y The positioning of the SBC EX 5.5 Chiller is very flexible. See page 20, SBC EX 5.5 Chiller, for details.
Moving the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT
Lifting or moving of the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT 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 Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT 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 Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT 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.
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: This document details several methods of anchoring the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT to a new foundation or an
existing floor. These methods are designed to install the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT 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 Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT, confirm
that the chosen method is compatible with all purchased optional items and planned expansion.

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
Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT 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/ft2. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to
determine that the foundation meets these requirements.
Please note the following:
Y The base plates, shims, anchor bolts, nuts, and washers are
shipped with the Vipros lll Z/K 3510 NT.
Y The concrete J-bolt pads should be filled after the machine
is placed on the foundation.

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"

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.
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-Shimming
should be used.
To move the weight bearing points further from the machine
