foundations or machine bases, and true vertical lift (made possible by a 3-piece wedge design) to eliminate lateral forces as machines are raised or lowered. The RKFIXATOR'SYSTEM also affords the most rigid machine-to-foundation con­nection available. RK FIXATOR⁵¹ SYS­TEMS are available in five sizes with a wide choice of optional equipment that adapt the system to meet any Installation required.

The RK FIXATORS Basic Units are rustproofed at manufacture and require no further treatment for normal machine tool applications. All load-bearing sur-

In any machinery installation, the question must be asked "is this machine support critical?" in other words, does it require support trom its foundation to maintain critical alignments between machine elements? A tew examples of machines that typically fall within this category are long bed lathes (over 48"), long bed grinders (over 48"), large hori­zontal boring mills, etc. Some helpful criteria may include any machine with rapid changes in load caused by motion of any element, machines which are equipped with leveling devices by the builder, most machines working with parts over 50 lbs. in weight, and any machine whose installation instructions call for alignment at installation.

The UNISORB"RK FIXATOFFSYS-TEM is the finest anchoring/alignment product in the world. It makes support critical machinery installations fast and simple. Each application Is engineered by UNISORB^s Engineers to assure successful implementation and results.

Not only are anchoring/alignment in­stallations fast and easy, but realign­ments can be achieved without loosen­ing the anchor nut, and can be done whenever necessary, unlike conven­tional leveling methods that require re­peated trial and error jacking and tight­ening during machine installation, the RK FIXATOR' SYSTEM permits align­ment adjustments to be made after an­chor nuts are tight. The only tool required to adjust the FIXATOR¹¹ is a small hand wrench.

The patented RK FIXATOR* SYS­TEM levels and aligns machinery to tenths (.0001") tolerances. Finely ma­chined Moiykoted surfaces, limited back­lash and high mechanical advantage make it possible to vary height adjust-ments at anytime, even under maximum loads. The time-consuming work and production losses usually associated with aligning are eliminated. Machines re­main in service, and machine life is pro­longed.

Under normal circumstances, the adjusting bolt should move easily under any loading, requiring only the use of asmaii hand wrench.The anchor bolts supplied with the FIXATORS³ are of special design to allow stretching with no reduction in strength or anchoring power.

The above listed advantages of the UNISGRB" RK FIXATOR⁵⁵ SYSTEM have been consistently found to out­weigh any additional expense neces­sary to purchase the units.
