In other words, does it require support from its foundation to ‘maintain critical alignments between machine elements? A few examples of machines that typically fall within this category are long bed lathes (over 48" or 122mm), long bed grinders (over 48° or 122mm), large horizontal. boring mills, etc. Some helpful criteria may include any machine with rapid chang- 5 in load caused by motion of any element, machines which are equip- ed with leveling devices by the build- ef, most machines working with parts over 50 Ibs. or 23kg. in weight, and any machine whose installation in- structions call for alignment at instal- lation. ‘The UNISORB® RKFIXATOR®SYS- 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/alignmentin- stallations fast and easy, but realign- ‘ments can be achieved without loosen- ing the anchor nut, and can be done whenever necessary. Unlike conven- tional leveling methods that require re- peated trial and error jacking and tight- ening during machine installation, the RK FIXATOR® SYSTEM permits align- ‘ment adjustments to be made after an- chornutsare tight. The only tool required to adjust the FIXATOR® is a small hand wrench ‘The patented AK FIXATOR? SYS- TEM levels and aligns machinery to tenths (.0001" or .0025mm) tolerances. Finely machined Molykoted surfaces, limited backlash and high mechanical advantage make it possible to vary height adjustments at any time, even under maximum loads. The time con- suming work and production losses usually associated with aligning are eliminated. Machines remain in ser- vice, and machine life is prolonged. Other important benefits include builtin compensation for uneven areas in foundations or machine bases, and true vertical it (made possible by a 3-piece wedge design) to eliminate lateral forces ‘as machines are raised or lowered. The RKFIXATOR® SYSTEM alsoaffords the most rigid machine-to-foundation con- nection available. RK FIXATOR® SYS- TEMS are available in six sizes with a wide choice of optional equipment that adaptthe system to meet any installation required. The RK FIXATOR® Basic Units are rustproofed at manufacture and require no further treatment for normal machine ‘ool applications. All load-bearing sur- faces are Molykoted at manufacture and require nofurther attention during the life ofthe unit, Under normal circumstances, the adjusting bolt should move easily under any loading, requiring only theuse ofasmallhandwrench. The anchorbolts supplied with the FIXATORS? are of special design toallow stretching with no reductionin strength oranchoring power. The above listed advantages of the UNISORB® RK FIXATOR® SYSTEM have been consistently found to out- weigh any additional expense neces sary to purchase the unitsENGLISH RKFIXATOR” TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, Pema Dim. ira ETSI mente maine ea we rs 2200 900 1340025900 44.00 alone iy bao FOATOR ib 20000 25500 5350) 60500 157000 224,500, ro Toi 11420000 25,605000 45681 000 57101000 7a.942000_102,782.000 he adore pore in a OAT eR 010 ‘010 oo 00 0017 00 Maa are m 020 020 om 32040051 opening. sured Stan ary OOO ie td 10 10) 13 15 18 23 Nadu ane agi or fig seu te. 20 2 7 ne za si8 Th Mix ate 16x 20x25nm 24xSmm —9OxSSmm_S6xémm 48 nS Beprinae re onan ana SOMES 08 109) 2 ca 1602720 onal ano ach bel lel pt Woe 1.905 18200 25800_40900 69,500 105.600 RK | M|L|B/H 00 swieola|clz nh t|blelea ik x | y¥ |fo fo | ma | ea [419 | 207 | 296 | vomm| eo | oo | a9 | 61 | 20 | oma] aoa [wan [701 | 47a [295 | 295 | temm| 100 | sa [122] se | 20 | ave] aa [wes [aes [sor [ar | ase] etmm| 125 [a7 | 1s7| 7 | 20 | 46s voz | ar [sar | 72 [er | 78 7 [426 [a7 | «or | oss [oa [ze Ww [wen [ross | 700 | 458 | 438 | 20mm] 155 [138] 199] @7 | 31] 550] 620] o4 | 180 | o« | 526 | i217 [122 | 126 | wa _[ 7388 | 06 | sar] sar | somm|ia0 [196] 228] 79] a9 | 700] aor] 10] 181 [ime | 69 | vame [1a [179 vi [mos [res [ioe | 650 | rar | dorm | 315 [116 | 255 [126] 51 | 900] oot | vos] a75 [ase | ras | i772 [2s | — “CASTINGOIMENSIONS MAY VARY HEIGHT WITH MACHINE SASE OPTION b) FORSTANDAROCASTING ADDO" [APPROX a Hole f, tor Option wes.

The ma- chine base is then moved into final position on the foundation. The FIXATORS® with their anchors sus- pended from the base are positioned and lowered into previously prepared grout cavities. The machine is rough aligned and permanently grouted into place. When the grout has cured sul ciently, the temporary blocks are re- moved. The anchor bolts are tightened and the machine is then precisely lev- eled and aligned with the FIXATOR® adjusting wedges. This approach el nates the need for precise presetting of the mounts and results in substantial time savings. STEP-BY-STEP 1. FOUNDATION PREPARATION— Prepare the foundation in accor- dance with accepted civil engineer- ing practices. Grout cavities for the FIXATOR’ base and anchor bolts maybe providedby precasting them orby core drilling after pouring con- crete. The best core driling results ‘can be obtained while the founda- tion is green (approximately 48 hours). Anchor bolt holes shallbe in accordance with UNISORB” Draw- ing No. 469900-02. Grout cavities for recessed FIXATOR” mounting shall be in accordance with UNISORB® Drawing No. 469900- o7. 2. POSITION MACHINE—When the concrete is cured sufficiently to support machine loads, prepare the machine for installation in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions and move into position on the foundation. The machine supported temporarily on blocks with the anchor holes over the previously prepared grout cavities. Note: Temporary blocks should be high ‘enough to permit assembly of FIXATOR® units to the machine base. ATTACH FIXATORS’—Turn the FIXATOR” alignment and leveling adjust ment screw fully counterclockwise to assure that the full ravel of the wedge will be available during the alignment phase. Assemble the FIXATOR® with the anchor bolt and spherical washer set to the machine base. (Refer to the installation drawing included in this manual for proper assembly.) Position the “O" ring and set collar provided with the anchor bolt against the bottom of the FIXATOR’, securing it with the set screw provided. The anchor nut should be positioned s0 that three threads are exposed and only tightened sufficiently to hold the FIXATOR” unit in contact with the machine base. LOWER MAGHINE ~ Lower the machine into final position, again. suppor- ted by temporary blocks with the FIXATOR projected into the grout cavities The machine should now be rough aligned to a value of plus or minus 1/16" (6mm). Note: Minimum clearance between the FIXATOR base and the foundation for grout placement must be 1/2" (12mm) for UNISORB Standard \V-100 Epoxy Grout Formula and 1-1/2" (38mm) for UNISORB V-1 Cementi- tious grout, The three smal presetting sorews in the FIXATOR base flange ‘may be used to level the FIXATOR to the foundation, if desired. Do-not a tempt to support the machine weight with these three screwsRKFIXATOR” MACHINE TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 20 5. PREPARE GROUT FORMS—Apply butyl tape around the bottom flange of grout form. Leave release paper on. Clean the floor thoroughly with oil free ‘compressed air. Remove paper from butyl tape and press form securely to the floor for about 30 seconds to create a secure seal 6. POUR GROUT—Prepare and pour UNISORB” Grout in accordance with ‘grouting instructions provided with the material, Pour grout to cover FIXATOR” base flange as shown on UNISORB" Drawing No. 469900-02 for surface ‘mounting or UNISORB” Drawing No. 469900-07 for recessed mounting. Grout forms used for surface mounting may be removed after grout has set. (See page 47 for instructions.)RKFIXATOR® MACHINE TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 7. ADJUST FIXATORS'—After grout cures and with anchor nuts loose, remove the temporary blocks. Snug anchor nus with a small hand wrench and tum ‘each agjusting screw two full turns. This action applies final tension to the anchor bolts and prepares the machine and the foundation. When raising the machine, adjust all FIXATORS" in sequence, starting at one end or the middle ‘and working toward each end. Do not skip any units. 8. FINAL MACHINE ALIGNMENT—Any reliable alignment measuring system may be used. We suggest however that optical or electronic systems are far ‘superior to bubble-level technology in that they respond much faster, thus allowinginstallers to take fulladvantage of the quick installation characteristics offered by the FIXATOR® system. Align the machine by locating the high spot and raising the remainder of the machine to match. The anchor nuts will remain tightened during this operation. Hitbecomes necessary to lower an individual FIXATOR® during final alignment do not exceed one full tum. If more than one tur is required the unit should be backed off until the anchor nut loosens; the nut is re-snugged, and the unit is raised to the desired adjustment. Thisis necessary to assure that the minimum anchor bolt tension is achieved. When final level and alignment is achieved, the machine may be placed into operation. Note: The base may be realigned atany time, if required. Simply adjust the FIXATOR' units, again raising the low points.

The Model Sfearutes a vertical bot type ‘adjustment and is used particularly in cases when leveling adjustment must be done from above where the Model RK cannot be used. Specific applications include floor plates, layout tables and simiar situations. ‘The unit is comprised of a high density cast iron hous- ing equipped with a captive mounted free tuming adjusting and hoid-down bolt combination. This high tensile bolt has atts lower half a spline shaped body structure. The upper end has @ rolled thread to accept the hold-down nut, with a hex. head end for height adjustment. The spline end section of the adjusting bolt engages with a precision matching spline pattern in the adjusting sleeve that is threaded into the base of the housing. The adjusting sleeve is guided by the upper portion of the housing to prevent lateral movement. A support plate with a precision machined concave surface mates with the con- vex spherical surface of the adjusting sleeve to assure equal load distribution over the entire bearing surface and compensate for any angular diference between machine and Fixator. An additional spherical washer set (option p) may be provided to compensate for any angular differences on the top surface of the machine bed The adjusting mechanism is totaly enclosed and all machined surfaces have been treated with a high-pres- sure lubricant to reduce friction and prevent corrosion. The Model S Fixator may be completely embedded into the foundation as shown on page 44. In addition, this unit is equipped with three auxiliary leveling screws to rough level the base prior to pouring ‘grout. When the unit is mounted on the top of a founda tion, two side located anchor bolts (option c) secure the leveler to the foundation using the grouting method shown ‘on page 44. The leveling is accomplished by the following sequence: ‘After securing the Model $ Fixator to the machine and foundation the upper hold-down nuts loosened and the ad- justment accomplished by turning the adjusting bolt at its hex. had, thus causing verte eveing trough he move iment of the inner adjustment sleeve. After the leveling is ‘completed, the hold-down nuts tightened, ating as a jam nut to prevent creeping ofthe inner adjusting sleeve due to vibration. See page 46 ofthis publication for complete in- stallaion instructions. ‘As an additional feature, option d cover plates are available in several outside diameters to cover and seal the aocess openings usually provided to accommodate the hoid-down/adjusting bott and nut mechanism, for the adjusting ofthe Fixator. 39SFIXATOR® DIMENSIONS sw Option se Height Adjustment 13] Detail of X Pian 40SFIXATOR® TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, ENGLISH DESCRIPTION om st rT an sv eee tats |e % ” a a (Anchor Bot Ontone Us, 3900 14300 25400 0 00500 METRIC DESCRIPTION om st sisi a Ey Donmestncan bate | CT mcinaannnjerione™ —_| w com | mm | 0m | sao | aos ‘oTumAdustng Seren Never] si a sa 7 ea ieee wm 12 20 0 ‘0 2.050 on Anchor Bolt Optione N 45,000 65,000 120,000 190,000 275,000 *Standard approach for determination of Fixator® size. **Maximum allowable is the total of the following. 2) Proportional Machine Load. ¢) Dynamic (Acceleration) Forces. b) Tensile Force Exerted by Anchor Bolt. d) Changing Loads (moving machine parts or workpieces). 41SFIXATOR® OPTIONS Access opening cover.

The S Fixators must be adjusted to the same height. Standard adjustment at deliv- ery: 1/8" (2mm) above the lowest point. The S Fixators are protected against corrosion (therefore do not grease them). When grouting in the anchor bolts, the specifications on Page 48 of this Fixator publication must be carefully complied with. Attach the S Fixators to the worktable or machine feet and lower onto temporary auxiliary wedges. Align the worktable or machine feet by using the auxiliary wedges, making certain that dimension between the worktable or machine feet and foundation is adhered to Fill the grout pocket with grout After proper grout cure the auxiliary wedges may be removed and the worktable or machine may be aligned. Tighten the nuts on the se hold down bolts. The installation is now complete. 46GENERAL INFORMATION UNISORB°GROUTFORMS UNISORB" Grout Forms in pre-formed square shapes are available to satisty grouting requirements in machin- ery installations. The plastic Grout Forms provide for Uniformity in poured machinery bases and eliminate con- struction of Grout Forms on the job site. Nine inch (229mm) square grout forms are available in heights up to 8 inches (203mm). and 11 inch (279mm) square grout forms are available in heights up to 10 in ches (254mm). Twelve by fifteen inch (305 x 381mm) grout forms are available in heights up to & inches (203mm). UNISORB Grout Forms give excellent results when used with UNISORB V-1 cementitious grout and V-100 epoxy grout formulas. UNISORB” BUTYL RUBBER SEALANT High-tack butyl rubber sealant is supplied with the UNISORB” Grout Forms for application to the bottom flange of the form, The sealant adheres instantly to the Grout Forms and to clean, dry foundation surfaces. It gives a tight seal between the Grout Form and foundation surface preventing grout from leaking out during pouring, Sealant requires no cure time, unlike conventional caulk ing products, and allows for immediate pouring of groutas soon as forms are in position. The butyl sealant comes in easy to use rolls. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Apply buty! sealant to the bottom flange of the form (molded edge is the bottom). Apply sealant around the entire base of the form. Cut the sealant and butt the ends together or overlap and pinch together to make a complete seal. Application temperature range of the sealant is 20° F to 120° F (-7°C to 49°C) 2. Leave the release paper on the sealant until the Grout Form is ready to be pressed into position. The Grout Form with sealant and release paper may be set in place while equipment is being installed. 3. When ready to pour remove the release paper from the sealant. Press the form in place with medium pressure or five seconds soitis completely sealed tothe foundation. The formis instantly sealed with no cure time required. 4, Place grout following instructions provided with the grout, 5. When the grout is set the forms may be removed if desired by cutting from top to bottom and unpeeling from the grout pad. 6. Excess butyl sealant can be removed if desired with mineral spirits. 47PROPER GROUTING PROCEDURES CEMENT-BASED GROUT 1. PREPARATION—Allgroutcontact surfaces should be cleaned of all oil, grease, scale and other foreign matter. Chip away any unsound conerete leaving the surface level but rough. Grout placement and vent holes should be provided if necessary. After contaminants are removed, the foundation must be saturated with water for 24 hours prior to grouting. Before placing the grout all excess water should be removed, leaving the surfaces moist, 2. FORMING—The method of form- ing must provide for rapid, continu- ous and complete grout placement. ‘The forms selected should not leak or buckle under the pressure of a flowable grout consistency. On the pouring side, the form must be slanted so the grout can be poured without entrapping air. On the of posite side, provide for at least a (60mm) horizontal distance between the form and FIXATOR and at least, 41/2" (12mm) head above the under- side of the plate. Do not place form tight to the FIXATOR as air may be entrapped. Plates or equipment should be placed to provide 1 1/2" (38mm) minimum grout thickness. 3. TEMPERATURE—Manufacturer’s Instructions should be followed when using grout under low or high temperature conditions. 4, PLACEMENT—tis always a good practice to prevent entrapped air pockets from forming in the mate- rial while in the plastic state. This, can be accomplished by pouring the grout from one side of the de- pression so that a full surface of grout is squeezed out of the other side, or by placing a slightly excess ‘amount of grout on the surface so that the bearing weight of the grouted object can displace the grout in such a manner that full bearing is effected 48 Where grout must be flowed some distance, make the intial batch more flowable so as to act as a lubricant for the material to follow. Continu- ‘ous and rapid mixing and place- ment will reduce the amount of working time required. Do not re- work grout that has already been placed and that has thickened. 5. CURING—To prevent sagging of the material, causing loss of bear- ing area, forms should not be re- moved until the grout has hardened sufficiently. At this point the grout has enough body to make final fir ishing easy. 6. MISCELLANEOUS—Where there are larger unconfined areas, vibrating can be done with no risk of segregation. Invery smallconfined areas where grout tends to take the path of least resistance and the placement is visually good, the “tunnel and hose” placement method can be used as another assurance against entrapped air or water.” In this method a funnel or hopper with a rubber orplastic hose (1" [25mm] opening or larger) at- tached to the funnel discharge opening does an excellent job. Simply place the end of the hose inthe center of the anchor hole, withdrawing the hose slowly as the necessary quantiry of grout is, Placed. By starting in the center the air is forced to the outside. In larger, deeper applications, the grout may be poured in stages of 24-hour intervals, “Applicable only if UNISORB V-1 cementitious grout is used. STANDARD V-100 EPOXY GROUT 1. PREPARATION—Allgrout contact surfaces should be cleaned of all oil, grease, scale and other foreign matter. Chip away any unsound concrete leaving the surface level but rough. Light sandblasting or acid etching may be sufficient but must be completely neutralized before grouting. Grout placement and vent holes should be provided ifnecessary. Aftercontaminants are removed, the foundation must be dry and have nowaterin the anchor holes. FORMING—The method of form- ing must provide for rapid, continu- ousand complete grout placement The forms selected should not leak or buckle under the pressure of a flowable grout consistency. On the pouring side, the form must be slanted so the grout can be poured without entrapping air, and should bbe high enough to allow the groutto build at least a 2° (60mm) head. On the opposite side, provide for at least a 2"( 50mm) horizontal dis- tance between the form and FIX- ATOR and at least 1/2" (12mm) head above the underside of the plate. Do not place form tight to the FIXATOR as air may be entrap- ped. Plates or equipment should be placed to provide 1/2" to 3/4” (12mm to 19mm) grout thickness. |. TEMPERATURE—Manufacturer's instructions should be followed when using grout under low orhigh temperature conditions. PLACEMENT—Itis always a good practice to prevent entrapped air pockets from forming in the mate- rial while in the plastic state. This can be accomplished by pouring the grout from one side of the de- pression so that a full surface of grout is squeezed out of the other side, or by placing a slightly excess amount of grout on the surface so that the bearing weight of the grouted object can displace the grout in such a manner that full bearing is effected CURING—To prevent sagging of the material, causingloss of bearing area, forms should not be removed until the grout has hardened sufficiently. At this point the grout has enough body to make final finishing easy.For design assistance Contact UNISORB engineering at 888-4-UNISORB (888-486-4767), FAX 517-764-5607, or e-mail us at unisorb@unisorb.com.
