We recently acquired a 14' press brake, 30,000 lbs weight. An Edwards Pearson PR 4 made I believe made in England. I'm concerned about what to set it on. Our rigger says 1" plate 6x6 under each leveling screw. There is an anchoring slot next to each leveling screw. Does this type of machine need full support under the frame? Is it designed to rest on the leveling screws permanently, which does not seem like a good idea to me? Or perhaps level with the screws then shim under the anchor slots. Or grouted to the floor which I don't see anyone do today? It is flat on the bottom so no need for recessed floor.
Thanks,
Tim
