VIBRATION DAMPENINGQUALITIES OF ENGINEERED FELTFor thousands of years, man has used felted fiber to absorbshock and vibration. UNISORB has chosen felt pads for useunder the feet of many types of machines because of its abilityto effectively isolate against transmitted shock and vibration,and because of its predictability. UNISORB RED-LINEPADS are also highly resistant or impervious to most industrialchemicals, oils and moisture. Life expectancy, in mostcases, will exceed that of the machinery with which they areinstalled.UNISORB ® RED-LINE PADSSATISFY OSHA REQUIREMENTSUNISORB RED-LINE PADS and anchor bolts satisfy OSHArequirements for machinery installation. Proper use of theseproducts will:• Improve the efficiency of production equipment.• Provide safer, more desirable environment for workers.• Reduce down time and extend the operating life of yourmachinery.• Prevent floor damage.Harmful effects of vibration and noise may cause serious impairmentto the efficiency of your workers and the overall effectivenessof your production machinery.RED-LINE ANCHOR PADSUNISORB ®VIBRATION ISOLATIONANCHORING PADSHOW TO SPECIFY UNISORB ®ISOLATING & ANCHORING PADSUNISORB RED-LINE AND RED-LINE ANCHOR PADS TypeH, HB, E, EB, D and DB have long been the standard for achievingsuperior results in the toughest shock/vibration applications.These pads are 100% wool fiber and are suitable fornormal industrial environments being unaffected by exposureto oils, cutting fluids and coolants.UNISORB RED-LINE AND RED-LINE ANCHOR PADS TypeS. SB, F and FB are manufactured from 100% man-made fibersoffering excellent performance at a lower cost. Types S,SB, F and FB pads are recommended for use in wet or "exposedto weather" applictions or where strong concentrationsof acids or bases will be encountered.Both families of pad materials may be expected to outlive themachinery on which they are installed.Use this formula to determine the proper pad material fromthe chart below:Weight (pounds per foot)Foot length (inches) X Width (inches)= Pounds per square inchPAD TYPE SELECTIONLoadRange 0-50 50-100 100-250 Over 250(in PSI)Extra Neoprene NeopreneLight H-¼, S-½ E-½, S-½D-½, F-½Titan-½Normal H-½, S-½ E-½, F-½ D-½, F-½ Titan-½WalkingNormalHB-½, SB-½ EB-½, FB-½ DB-½, FB-½ Titan-½BONDED PADILLUSTRATEDReduced vibration contributes to more efficient operation andlonger life of costly machinery.

Our engineers arethoroughly trained in the use of state of the art vibration analyzingequipment and are experienced in analysis of technicaldata collected for every machinery shock and vibration installationproblem. Solving difficult machinery installation problemsby providing comprehensive engineered solutions is ourprimary mission. Contact Unisorb Engineering Department fordetails.This basic approach has been applied satisfactorily toequipment from ¼ horsepower electric motors to 2,000ton capacity stamping presses. The machine foot is completelyisolated from contact with either the mountingstructure or anchor bolt by isolation material. Elastomerictubing (of the appropriate size) is used for the resilientbushing around the anchor bolt.CASE HISTORYUNISORB was contacted by a company planning to relocate41 assorted cold headers, bolt makers and nutforming machines from one plant to another. We recommendedthe use of Type D-½ RED-LINE PADS withadhesive for proper machine installation but our proposalwas initially rejected by the customer as being tooexpensive. They selected a competitive non-felt materialwhich was lower in cost.Almost as soon as the machines were installed andoperating the company began to experience failure inthe installations. A significant number of machines had"walked" off their pads, and in some cases were stoppedonly by the walls of the factory.We were again contacted and our recommendation wasto reinstall at least some of the machines on RED-LINEPADS. Once our installation was completed and the resultsobserved the company requested that all of thepads in the plant be replaced. Our approach to the correctapplication of pads is now the approved standardmethod with the company.2

UNISORB ®LEVEL-RITE ®MACHINERY MOUNTSFULL1- 3 / 8"ADJUSTMENTRANGEUNISORB'S line of LEVEL-RITE mounts are superblyengineered, unbreakable, and perfectly suited for generalpurpose machine leveling and isolation usage.Both the housing and impact plate of the UNISORBLEVEL-RITE mounts are made of ductile iron, conformingto Foundry Spec. 65-45-12. Every UNISORB LEVEL-RITE mount provides an overall height adjustment of 13/8 inches - well beyond all similar products around theworld. Additionally, UNISORB LEVEL-RITE mounts yieldoptimum performance, even with floors that are uneven.The isolation pads of all UNISORB LEVEL-RITE mountsare made from proprietary elastomers. The unique internaldesign eliminates the interdependence betweenvertical and horizontal stiffness found in other mountdesigns. This unique design ensures that each mountingpoint presents consistent vertical and horizontalload deflection characteristics, regardless of adjustmentheight. LEVEL-RITE mounts are unmatched incontrolling extreme machine induced dynamic loads,thus eliminating excessive machine motion and preventingfailures typical of most other general-purposemounts.The LEVEL-RITE mount features a high strength, grade5 hex. head adjusting bolt that will withstand punishmentwhich would shear off most other bolts. The finerthread pitch provides greater accuracy in adjustment.LEVEL-RITE mounts feature adjusting bolts with metricthreads. Special bolt lengths and configurations areavailable on request.The rectangular shape of the UNISORB LEVEL-RITEmounts provides another important advantage. Whileproviding greater resistance to walking than circularmounts, the straight leading edge surface on the rectangularmounts has proven to be more geometrically stable.UNDERCUT HEX.HEAD (FOR M30AND LARGER BOLTS)HOUSINGELASTOMERICISOLATION PADEXTERNAL HEX.

UNISORB ® RK FIXATOR ®ANCHORING/ALIGNMENTSYSTEMNOTE: All Fixator information in this catalogpertains to machine tool applications. CallUNISORB about the use of Fixators for PowerGeneration equipment.RK FIXATOR SYSTEMS level and align machinery to tolerancesof one ten thousandth (0.0001") and make it possibleto vary adjustments at any time, even under maximum loadsrequiring only a small hand wrench to adjust. Time consumingwork and production losses normally associated with alignmentsare eliminated.While affording the most rigid machine-to-foundation connectionavailable, other benefits include built-in compensationfor uneven areas in foundations and machine bases. Truevertical lift, made possible by a 3-piece wedge design toeliminate lateral movement as machines are raised or lowered,makes the RK FIXATOR the "state-of-the-art" anchoring/alignmentsystem.INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGNThough similar in appearance to conventional wedge-typeleveling equipment, RK FIXATOR SYSTEMS differ significantlyin concept and application. The RK FIXATOR is not aconventional wedge system and should not be treated as one.Alignment adjustments are made after anchor nuts havebeen tightened. In this way, the anchor bolts are tighteneduniformly to predictable stress levels by adjusting the RKFIXATOR basic unit upward prior to the final alignmentprocedure eliminating the customary torquing of anchor nuts.This gives substantial savings in time and effort normallyrequired for the installation of sophisticated machine tools.RK FIXATORS SAVE MONEY BY:• Allowing faster completion of new installations.• Decreasing frequency of, and shorten time required forfuture realignments.• Maintaining machine accuracy for longer time periods.• Decreasing required maintenance.• Ensuring maximum machine productivity.BASIC DIMENSIONSDimension RK I RK II RK III RK IV RK VDØ 2.36 2.95 3.54 4.33 5.91L 6.89 6.89 8.66 10.83 13.58B 4.13 4.72 5.91 7.09 9.06H 2.17 2.95 3.74 4.53 5.31h .20 .20 .24 .32 .40MODEL NO.LOAD RANGES (PER MOUNT)*RECOMMENDEDMACHINE STATIC WEIGHTMAXIMUM ALLOWABLELIFTING LOADRK I 2,200 lbs. 20,000 lbs.RK II 4,400 lbs. 26,500 lbs.RK III 8,800 lbs. 53,000 lbs.RK IV 13,200 lbs. 80,000 lbs.RK V 26,400 lbs. 155,000 lbs.*Contact Unisorb Engineering for application assistance.8For RK Fixator options and other detailed information ask for UNISORB Fixator System Catalog

UNISORB ®AK FIXATOR ®SYSTEMUNISORB ' s Model AKII Agile Fixator has been developedspecifically to meet industry's demand for a cost effective, truly"agile" machinery installation system.The AKII Agile Fixator is intended for use in anchorless oranchored applications and offers the capability to be quicklyconverted from one to the other without disturbing or removingthe machine base. The system can be used with resilientpads of varying stiffness and thickness to produce the vibrationisolation load deflection characteristics required by themachine builder or user.The AKII Agile Fixator's basic design incorporates the wellprovenadjusting mechanism and clamping nut torque retentionsystem of the Fixator into an updated overall mount designthat permits installation in any of six fundamentally differentways.The system may be easily converted to an anchored variationif required at a later date by the simple application of one ofthe three available anchoring techniques.Pre-layout or core drilling is not required as the anchorholes are simply drilled through the mount base afterinstallation. The use of the optional toggle clamp permitsthis to be accomplished even when overhangingmachine components prevent assess to the center orside anchor locations.• No special foundation requirements.• Final installation approach may be determined on the jobsite.• The necessity for anchor layout drawings is eliminated.• Core drilling is eliminated (unless preferred).• Anchored and non-anchored locations may be intermixedwhere necessary and are served by the same mountingsystem. Only one system needs to be specified.For AK Fixator options and other detailed information ask for UNISORB Fixator System Catalog.9

UNISORB ®PROFESSIONALENGINEERING SERVICESCASE HISTORYUNISORB undertook a major machine installation project withESM II of Ashland, KY. The machine was a vintage Giddings& Lewis Horizontal Boring Mill which was relocated from anothercompany. Faced with a lack of complete machine data,a site near an active railroad and an incredibly short time line,UNISORB's Professional Engineering Services team wasselected to provide technical guidance and leadership in nearlyevery aspect of the project.Advanced engineering services.For more complex and critical installations where bothmachine and foundation are subject to large dynamicoperating forces, UNISORB can provide detailed structuralanalysis including computer modeling and finiteelement analysis. This assures that unwanted bendingand twisting in either the machine or foundation doesn'tproduce unexpected modes of vibration which adverselyaffect machine performance. These services are notrestricted to new installations, and are often very usefulin resolving problems with existing machines.The first phase was to compile data on the machine itself,drawing from UNISORB's years of experience. Next UNISORBperformed an on site vibration analysis to qualify the installationsite, and proceeded with an appropriate foundation designthat included an FEA (finite element analysis) to preciselytune the foundation's natural frequency and stiffness characteristicsto assure compatibility with those of the machine at aminimum cost.Complete construction documents were then prepared withdetailed specifications and inspection criteria to create a "bidready"package. Once the order was placed, UNISORB servedas ESM II's on site representative, assuring that documentsand critical installation procedures were followed.The project was completed within the specified time framewith a finished installation that enabled ESM II to meet productionschedule requirements.By adding UNISORB's Professional Engineering Servicesteam to their own, ESM II assured that the best possible installationfor this important addition to their machining capabilitywas achieved at the lowest possible cost.Time resources and financial savings.Why choose UNISORB?

UNISORB ®INERTIA BLOCKVIBRATION ISOLATIONTo realize the full potential of your production machinery,quality control or laboratory equipment, it is necessaryto create an isolated environment that controlsvibration and provides a rigid base on which to securethe equipment and obtain accurate alignment. This environmentcan be created effectively and permanentlywith the construction of an isolated inertia block.An isolated inertia block foundation consists of a concretemass with a suitable isolator. Together theseprovide a system natural frequency which will isolatethe sensitive machine from vibrations occurring in theenvironment, and control the vibrations from a sourcemachine.The concrete mass also functions as a rigid anchoringbase, required to assure permanent alignment of themachine. This rigidity has become increasingly importantas many machine builders have replaced cast ironbases with weldments to accommodate the demand formore varied designs.UNISORB ® Isolation systems include:IB-500 isolation pads designed to employ standardfoundation construction techniques to isolate vibrationstypical to the manufacturing environment.GK Block foundation isolation, a high efficiency isolatorfor sensitive equipment or severe environments.RG-80 foundation mounts designed for high isolationwith extremely heavy loads in roll grinder and otherlarge foundation applications.VIBRATION ANALYSIS SERVICESSensitive machines in severe environments may requirean ambient vibration survey to determine exactsite conditions. UNISORB stands ready to help youdecide when this service is needed. We can work withthe vibration analysis people to assure that the datacollected is representative of actual site conditions.UNISORB also has the capacity to perform on sitesurveys of this nature. Typical surveys include a day atthe site to collect data which is recorded for later analysis.The analysis can also be performed on site ifnecessary for immediate feedback. Contact UNISORBEngineering Department for details.FOUNDATION ENGINEERINGSERVICESUNISORB has the capability of developing certifiedconstruction foundation drawings that are customizedto meet equipment support requirements. UNISORBcan also offer the option of unique constructiontechniques that have been developed to help reduceinstallation costs. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) canbe performed for each unique machine to assure thatthe dynamic characteristics of the foundation will becompatible with the machine’s operation. UNISORB canalso provide in-depth post installation machine diagnosticservices to aid in the optimization of machine operations.Contact UNISORB Engineering Department for details.UNISORB ®IB-500 FOUNDATIONISOLATION SYSTEMUNISORB isolation pad materials offer superior performancebecause they have been specifically engineeredto provide optimum use of the inertia block foundationwhile using standard construction techniques. Theseproducts are unaffected by oils, coolants, cutting fluidsand other liquids normally found in the industrial environment.UNISORB isolation pad materials are conservativelyrated, providing a life expectancy which in mostcases exceeds that of the machinery being installed.The materials are manufactured in two densities: A lessdense material, designated IB-500-S2, is used to isolatesidewalls of the inertia block; A more dense material,IB-500-B1, is applied to the base surface of thefoundation (usually two layers). Both materials are manufacturedin 1/2” thick sheets and are used in layerswhere greater thickness is desired. The material isavailable from stock in 3’ x 6’ sheets for fast delivery.Special sizes may be cut to exact dimensions at thefactory or on the job site.The isolation material is protected from moisture migratingfrom fluid concrete by a water resistant covering,which also provides a tough, abrasion and puncture-resistantsurface.Although there are several methods of installation, theproper approach depends primarily on the depth of theinertia block and condition of the soil. UNISORB’S installationengineers offer assistance in determining suitablematerials and procedures to meet specific inertiablock requirements.IB-500-B1 BASE ISOLATION 2 LAYERS REQUIREDIB-500-S2 SIDEWALL ISOLATIONPAD MATERIALNOTE:TYPICALIB-500 INERTIA BLOCKSYSTEMINERTIA BLOCKUNISORB JOINTFILLER V-100OPTIONAL PIT LINER MAYBE OMITTED IF LOCAL SOILCONDITIONS PERMIT(CONSULT UNISORBENGINEERING)VINYL OR EQUIVALENT TAPE TO BE USED ON ALLISOLATION PAD JOINTS TO PREVENT ENTRY OFFLUID CONCRETE DURING POUR16

GK Blocks are rated from4,000 to 18,000 lbs.Examples of GK Block Applications Include:• Coordinate measuring machines.• Precision optical equipment.• Precision grinders.• Vibrating conveyors.• Lab equipment.• Presses.• Equipment operating in environments of unusuallysevere shock and vibration conditions.For other Novibra products ask for UNISORB Novibra Catalog.UNISORB ®RD FOUNDATIONINSERT SYSTEMThe UNISORB RD Foundation Insert System provides aneffective means of utilizing UNISORB highly efficient lowfrequency passive isolators. The RD Foundation Insert isa cast in place access point enabling installation of avariety of isolators specifically selected for each projectenvironment. UNISORB professional engineeringdetermines the number of RD Inserts required per projectas the desired load is controlled at each RD isolatorlocation. We assure proper loading of each isolator bymeans of adjustment within the RD Foundation Insert. ThisAdjustment also enables precision elevation alignment tothe surrounding floor ensuring a smooth transition. TheRD Foundation Inserts are provided in an engineered kitthat includes all required materials with the exception ofthe concrete, simplifying the construction process andreducing construction costs.Unisorb RD Foundation Insert (Patented)TYPICAL RESULTS OF ISOLATED INERTIA BLOCKFOUNDATION ENGINEERING VIBRATION ANALYSISThe charts show a vibration survey performed byUNISORB on an existing isolated inertia blockinstallation. A grinding machine performing a roughgrind operation on a crankshaft was installed on aninertia block isolated as shown on the typical IB-500inertia block installation details. During the rough grindthe machine generated vibrations were measured onthe foundation. The left chart shows an average of 64 ofthese measurements.Vibration measurements were also taken on the concretefloor immediately surrounding the isolated foundation.The right chart shows an average of 64 of thesemeasurements which were also taken simultaneous tomeasurements on the left chart.A comparison of the two charts is a graphic illustrationof the high degree of isolation efficiency provided byUNISORB inertia block isolation materials.17

UNISORB ®V-1 ® NON-SHRINKGROUTUNISORB ® V-1 ® NON-SHRINKGROUT• Pre-Mixed.• Extra High Strength.• Non-Shrinking.• Flowable (May be pumpedand vibrated).• High Yield.• Meets ASTM C 1107.Yield per 48 lb. bag : .40 Cubic Feet.V-1 Grout is a cement-based, flowable, non-shrink groutthat develops extremely high compressive strength in ashort period of time. It can be used in any applicationrequiring high strength support and anchoring of machinery.FAST CURING FOR MINIMUM DOWN TIMEAt an ASTM flow index of 109, V-1 Grout has a strengthof approximately 6,565 psi in 24 hours. This strengthincreases gradually and reaches its maximum of 11,875psi at 28 days.HIGH QUALITY, NON-CORROSIVE,NON-SHRINKINGV-1 Grout is composed of several carefully blended sizeranges of pure silica sand, the best quality, high earlycuring portland cement and a proprietary controlledexpansion compound. V-1 Grout is unique in that it canbe extended by adding up to 50% (by weight) peagravel, thus substantially reducing material costs onlarger pours.V-1 Grout is chloride-free, has controlled expansion andwill not shrink below its original mixing volume after therecommended water ratio is added. Controlled expansionensures a full bearing contact between machinebase and foundation.UNISORB ®CONCRETE REPAIR &STRUCTURAL REPAIRUNISORB ® CONCRETEREPAIR COMPOUND• Pre-Mixed.• Fluid Consistency.• Feather Edges.• Fast Set.• Resume Normal Traffic in 1Hour or Less.• Stronger Than Concrete.• Self-Sealing.• Conveniently Packaged: 20 & 50 lb. pails; 50 lb. bags.• Extended Set Formula Available for Long WorkingTime in Hot Climate.UNISORB Concrete Repair Compound is designed foruse in making fast repairs of concrete floors, aisle waysand drives.

UNISORB ®JAKEBOLT ®HEAVY DUTY ANCHOR BOLTSCASE HISTORYUNISORB ®VECTOR ANCHOR BOLTSMade from high quality forged steel, VECTOR BOLTShave a series of angular facets which resolve verticalstress forces into a cone-shaped pressure pattern. Anadvantage of this unique design is the increased contactarea between the bolt and the grout. The wedgeshaped design on the bottom of the bolt transfers thetensile load of the stud into a lateral compressional loadin the foundation assuring maximum pull out strengths.The increase in load transfer to the foundation results ina reduction of the embedment depth required to obtainfull strength of the anchor. This reduction in requiredembedment depth lowers the installation cost by reducingthe core drilling and grouting requirements.VECTOR BOLTS are available in the diameters andlengths shown below in a 90,000 PSI minimum tensilestrength material.JAKEBOLT ANCHORSA large metalworking facility involved in the manufacturingof oil field equipment installed their machinesusing UNISORB Heavy Duty JAKEBOLT Anchors.JAKEBOLTS are installed when the foundations arepoured. This approach offered the following advantagesover previously used methods:• No expertise in grouting techniques are required bythe installation crew.• The foundation does not require special preparationsuch as pre-cast holes and pre-wetting.• There is no time delay to allow the grout to curewhen setting machines.Several machines have been installed successfullyusing this method and the company has been verysatisfied with the results. Use of all-steel Heavy DutyJAKEBOLTS has become the standard installationmethod for this company.UNISORB ®VECTOR ANCHOR BOLTSSPECIFICATIONSmm BASIC DIMENSIONSTYPE INCH d b a c wSTANDARD LENGTH "L"EM- mm 12 30 24 70 19 150 200 - - - -inch121(Ref.)/2 1 3 /16 1 2 3 /4 .75 6 8 - - - -EM- mm 16 40 32 90 24 150 200 250 300 360 -inch165(Ref.)/8 1 5 /8 1 1 /4 3 1 /2 .94 6 8 10 12 14 -EM- mm 20 50 40 100 30 200 250 300 360 400 460inch203(Ref.)/4 2 1 1 /2 4 1.2 8 10 12 14 16 18EM- mm 24 60 48 135 36 300 360 400 460 - -inch2415(Ref.)/16 2 3 /8 1 7 /8 5 3 /8 1.4 12 14 16 18 - -EM- mm 30 75 60 150 46 300 400 460 600 - -inch30(Ref.) 1 3 /16 3 2 3 /8 6 1.8 12 16 18 24 - -EM- mm 36 90 72 180 55 400 600 - - - -inch36(Ref.) 1 7 /16 3 1 / 2 2 7 /8 7 2.2 16 24 - - - -Other sizes & lengths available.

INSTALLINGMACHINETOOLSWORK PIECEWORKTABLECOLUMNSPINDLERUNWAYHere’s what to consider:First, determine if the machine requires anchoring.Before designing a foundation for a particular machine tool,two questions must be answered:1) Does the machine require support from its foundation tomaintain alignments between machine elements?2) Will shock and vibration isolation be required to assure thedesired levels of finish quality and accuracy?An excellent example of a machine that requires a largeamount of support to operate properly is the above illustratedhorizontal-boring mill. In this application, the only connectionbetween the machine column and work table (and hencespindle and work piece) is the floor or foundation.In designing the foundation for an alignment-critical machine,these factors are important:1) Foundation thickness. The stiffness of a foundation varieswith the cube of its thickness. The stiffer the required support,the more concrete required.2) All machine elements should be mounted on the samefoundation block.3) Local soil conditions must be taken into account to assurethat the foundation will be stable on the soil on which it isplaced.Second, use correct foundation reinforcing designs andadequate methods of anchoring for the equipment beinginstalled.In order for the foundation to become an integral part of themachine tool structure, a connection of adequate rigidity mustbe provided. In many types of machinery, a means of adjustingthe relationship of the machine base to the foundation is alsonecessary.Several approaches may be followed:1. Anchor Bolts and Shims: (generally inadequate wherealignment requirements are critical.)2. Leveling Screws: provide for faster adjustment than theshimming methods, but there is a tendency for machines to“creep” under load and for adjustments to be difficult and timeconsuming.3. Anchor Bolts and Grout: provide strong, continuous rigidsupport between the machine and the foundation. Grouting isused to assure that the voids between the machine base andthe foundation surface are completely filled, and to spreadconcentrated loads over a larger area.4. Leveling Wedges: provide a more rigid support than doesthe leveling screw. The most elementary of these is a twopiecewedge. Three-piece wedges provide greater mechanicaladvantage and permit more precise alignment. TheUNISORB LEV-L-INE for general purpose installation andFIXATOR SYSTEM for high precision requirements are excellentchoices.Third, isolate support critical machines.The first step involves carefully evaluating the environmentinto which the machine is to be placed.For support critical machines (and for non-support criticalmachines when high amplitude and low frequency vibrationsare involved) an isolated inertia block foundation is the bestsolution. The concrete foundation is isolated from the rest ofthe environment. Limiting the transmission of shock and vibrationfrom the environment to the machine or, in the case of asource machine, from the machine to the environment is thegoal.Either IB-500 isolation material or rubber GK Blocks may beused.The IB-500 isolation material approach can be carried outusing normal construction practices and is substantiallyless involved. The GK Block approach is used for naturalfrequency requirements in the 4hz range. Using eithermethod, an isolation efficiency of over 90% is usuallyattainable.Fourth, be sure the machine that is non-support critical ismounted properly.If you determine a machine is non-support critical, it is stilldesirable to provide some sort of mounting device to complywith OSHA requirements, to permit the machine to beleveled easily, prevent “walking,” and isolate from shock andvibration. This can usually be accomplished by the use of afree standing mount, such as UNISORB LR Series.CONCLUSIONCorrect installation is second in importance only to theproper selection of the machine tool itself in guaranteeingoptimum performance from a piece of equipment, and aproper return on invested capital.When you realize that correctly installing a machine toolrarely costs more than one percent of the total value of themachine, it’s false economy not to spend the time andmoney necessary to make the proper installation.By taking advantage of UNISORB’s products and engineering,you can be sure that your machine will be correctlyinstalled.For a more complete discussion of machinery installation,request UNISORB’S BULLETIN: “Preventing MachineInstallation Problems,” along with information on a freeseminar in your plant.
