  • Patent number: 10125800
    Abstract: This invention uses disc shaped cams in enlarged hoes in machine feet to allow a machine to be moved and properly installed to the bedplate. Once the machine is in the proper location, the cams are locked into place with a set screw which prevents the cams from rotating and the machine from moving. The machine foot is then secured to the base by a washer and the manufacturer's specified anchor bolt is torqued to the proper value.

  • Publication number: 20170356479
    Abstract: The assembly solves a frequent problem when aligning one machine to another machine. Typically, the machine to be aligned has very little clearance in the hold-down bolt holes, and running out of adjustment space while aligning is common. This assembly uses cams in enlarged holes in the machine feet. The cams not only allow the machine to be aligned with holes already drilled into a fixed bedplate, but after the machine is set on the bedplate, also allows the machine to be moved more than twice as much as is now permitted. This allows it to be easily aligned with another piece of equipment that is already fixed in place. The assembly also makes dowelling unnecessary, because the cams are locked into place with a set screw to prevent the machine from moving.
