Moving Mits EA12E

William Ward · Mar 23, 2017

Like the title says we are moving our Mits EA12E sinker from one building to another.
Is there anything especially fiddly we need to look out for. The machine will be moved by Dunkel Bros. as they are the go to mover for us.
We will be doing the prep though. Just curious about things like axis brackets and that sort of business.

Thanks

Just moved a Form 30. Just drained the dielectric, secured head, jacked it on skates, and rolled it away!

Thanks
That's about what I figured. But you never know.

Level after the move(just to the other end of the shop btw) was my biggest concern. Should go pretty easy for you. Slower is better!

I am mostly concerned with restraining axis movement. We are usually great about keeping shipping brackets but the ones for this machine appear to be MIA. Unless they are hiding under the sheet-metal skirt somewhere.
