Forging Hammers |
|
|
With every blow that is struck on a forge hammer, shock and vibration is imparted to all components of the machine. At mating joints, metal spalling, cracking and chipping may occur. Rods, nuts, and bolts can be broken. Scale flying from the forging can get behind and under the key guide and other important areas, causing metal to be scarred or gouged out. The use of pads at other above-anvil locations can greatly reduce maintenance and downtime. You can see more information regarding isolating forging hammers in Isolated Foundations, and Machine Tool Foundations. If you would like to know more about vibration and how it affects your equipment, see our Frequently Asked Questions about vibration in particular.

Presses |
|
|
 Presses can be a major generator of impact shock and vibration disturbances in a plant, thereby causing problems with sensitive equipment, offices in the building, or even disturbances with neighbors. The main problem is shock transmission, following the ensuing high frequency vibration caused by the shock.

Printing Presses |
|
|
Several different types of material have been successfully used to isolate shock and high frequency vibration to and from printing presses. The key to its success is its ability to reduce the shock and vibration while maintaining press alignment and tram. Size and weight of the printing press will determine the type of pads needed. Isolating a vibration-sensitive or vibration-producing machine requires isolation of its support mass or foundation.

"Inertia Blocks" or Reaction Masses |
|
|
|
In certain applications, it is not desirable or feasible to mount a machine directly on vibration isolators. Instead, the machine is attached to a relatively heavy and rigid block (usually made of concrete), which is then supported by suitable isolators. The use of such a massive block (called an inertia block or reaction mass) is desirable for the following reasons: |

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM's) |
|
|
 The measuring speed and accuracy of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM's) are improving every year. Newer CMM's are being designed and built to be shop floor "hardened" so they can function with repeatability right on the production floor. Vibration is one environmental factor which can compromise a CMM's accuracy and repeatability.
