"What kind of framework are you talking about? Just connect the plates that I have under the footpads?"
Masome,
I don't engineer this stuff, just lay it out for the engineer. But from what i've seen,
the framework would probably be 12" wide flange i-beams, in a rectangular weldment
to the extents of the machine. This would then be cross braced, and some concrete
added for dampening. Plus the operator would have to be 12" higher on a platform,
very inconveinent, and a constant trip hazard.
Like I said, if you own the building, cutting out the existing and pouring in what
you need is much cheaper. It would be like this, sawcut (use garden hose to keep
down the dust), jackhammer or backhoe to remove the concrete slab.
Dig hole to proper depth, going at least 6" deeper, good gravel fill to proper
height, plate compact to level. This should be in the first day.
Next day, tie re-bar, probably #5 (5/8 dia.)on a grid 12" c-c 3" off bottom
(use concrete bricks here, chairs sink), vertical bars every 3' c-c to support
top mat (same as bottom) keep it 4" from top, Add deco anchors to fit
machine builders drawing.
3rd day, pour in morning, add sealer, strip any forms in afternoon.
Give it at least 2 weeks before bringing in machine, should wait the full
28 days before applying loads. You can sneek this number (full loads in
2 weeks) by spec'ing higher strength (8-bag over 6-bag mix), but
the contractor may growl a bit, as the stuff is quite hot, and set's
up quite fast.
This machine looks like a simple pour, no pits, no gutters (unless
you want them for coolant splash, and hydraulic oil containment).
You could, at this point, run conduit in the pour to bring the electricity,
computor line, and compressed air under the floor. This nice little
feature is handy if you have a overhead crane, keeps operators from
removing them with the hook.
