Features and Benefits • Enhanced mechanical advantage for easier levelling • Enhanced machine stability which provides high stiffness and support in both horizontal and vertical directions • Damping pads reduce vibration within...

Farrat Wedgemounts are available in three forms: Freestanding (F) The machine rests on the Wedgemount with no bolted connection. The top pad aids damping and provides a high friction surface for the machine foot to grip to. Farrat Damping Pads Bolt-On (B) The machine is bolted to the Wedgemount which sits on the floor ensuring a fixed connection between the Wedgemount and machine. This helps with machine installation as the Wedgemount can be fitted to the machine prior to final machine placement. Farrat Damping Pads Bolt-Through (T) The machine is bolted through the Wedgemount and into the foundation....

Wedgemount Installation Heavy Machinery Installation on Wedgemounts and Precision Levelling Elements. METHOD 1: Where facilities are available for lowering machine onto the mounts using a crane. 1. Place the mounts in position on the floor. 2. Adjust them all to a common height using a laser level or straight edge and spirit level from one mount to the next. Figure 1.3 2b. If there is insufficient adjustment on any mount to cater for excessive floor slope or uneven surfaces, individual mounts may be packed up to bring them in line with the others using a combination of steel plates and Farrat...

METHOD 2: Where no crane facilities are available. Figures 2.1 9. Before the machine is brought into position place the mounts on the floor and adjust them all to a common height using a laser level or straight edge and spirit level from one mount to the next. Mark the location of each mount then move them to one side. Figure 2.2 10. Bring the machine into position and leave on temporary packing, or rollers or jacks. Ensure that there is sufficient gap between the underside of the machine and the floor to accommodate the mount. Figure 2.3 11. Place the mounts into position again under the machine,...

How to select Farrat Wedgemounts STEP 1. If damping is required, please refer to Table 1 to select the appropriate grade of damping. If no damping is required, the grade will be P for Precision Levelling with no pads. Selection is made according to whether the Wedgemount is Free Standing, Bolt-On or Bolt-Through. A Selection Example is provided on Page 5 and highlighted in the tables.

Having selected any required damping / isolation, Wedgemount size, the next step is to select any additional requirements from Table 4. For further details on Farrat's Wedgemount Accessories, please refer to the tables on page 6. Selection Example: 10 tonne CNC lathe with four points each supporting an equal amount of load. Load per Wedgemount = 2,500kg. Machine foot dimensions are 200mm x 200mm with a central 22mm clearance hole. The machine foundation is to be re-located on a flat concrete base. Step 1: Select Damping Grade - Using Table 1, select the Machine Type from the left hand column...

Wedgemounts Accessories Farrat Spheriseats (SPS) Farrat Spheriseats can be supplied bonded on top of the Farrat Precision Levelling Elements units (Types G, H & P) to take up complex angles from floor irregularities etc., between the floor and the machine. This is important to ensure a full, secure seating and to relieve any stresses which could build up in the machine base. Heavy Duty Washers available on request.

Precision Wedge Levelling Elements Farrat Levelling Mounts (WL-LE) Farrat WL-LE’s provide a system of installation of large or heavy equipment which requires a very rigid connection to their foundations and which also require very accurate alignment for satisfactory performance; for example machines which are subjected to significant changes in load distribution during operation. Farrat WL-LE’s can be used for supporting and levelling machinery and equipment during construction, erection and operation. Farrat WL-LE’s are the same basic form as the standard Farrat Wedgemount, but the top and bottom...
