2.4 Preparations for assembly

2.4.1 Foundation
Robustness
The foundation must with stand the static loads caused by the weight of the
equipment and the dynamic loads generated by the movement of the carriage and
the manipulator. The minimum thickness of the concrete floor is 175 mm.
The concrete quality class must be at least C20/25 (or B25) to insure a good
resistance of the anchor. Class C30/37 (or B35) is advisable.
The concrete compressive strength can be tested according to the European norm
EN 206-1.
When FlexTrack is mounted on the steel platform of FlexiCell, M16 class 12.9
screws are required. Depth of thread must be min. 30 mm.
Inclination and flatness
The levelling of the track is done by screwing / unscrewing the M60 screws.
However, in order to insure a good levelling, the concrete floor inclination must
not exceed 1mm / meter in the translation direction, and 0.5mm / meter cross
section. The levelling screws can also compensate a poor flatness of the slab and
small bumps up to 10 mm. However, the surface under the levelling screw must
be flat. A concrete surfacing grinder should be used to correct the flatness locally
if necessary.
Static loads
The following table shows the maximum payload of all FlexTrack carriage variants,
and the corresponding load distributed to each levelling screw.
