Method of reinstalling object to be supported

A reinstalling method which, when reinstalling an object to be supported, precisely restores the object to an initial installing state in a short period of time without requiring special skills. In a state before supporting of an object to be supported by support tools is released and in each of states in which the supporting is sequentially released, load acting on at least one support tool selected from among the support tools being in a supporting state is obtained. When reinstalling, the object is sequentially supported at the same positions as those before the release by the support tools in the reverse order to that of the release, and, a vertical-direction supporting position of each support tool is adjusted so that a load cell of the selected support tool detects the same value as the load obtained in the supporting state before the support tool was released.

Alignment tool and method for aligning heavy machinery and equipment

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a tool and method for alignment adjustment of machinery. The tool may include a bottom plate, a top plate oriented in parallel planes, a low friction intermediate element between bottom plate and top plate, and a hydraulic actuator or electro-mechanic actuator arranged between the bottom plate and the top plate and capable of moving the top plate relative to the bottom plate.

MACHINE TOOL LEVELING ADJUSTMENT DEVICE
20220212305 · 2022-07-07 ·

A leveling adjustment device attached to a machine tool with supporting foot portions being adjusted manually to change a height, which includes a sensing module and a microcontroller unit. The sensing module senses the machine tool for inclined extents in two directions perpendicular to each other and then generates a sensed data. The microcontroller unit receives the sensed data and provides a graphical operation interface with first blanks and second blanks. The first blanks are used to fill with a length and width data of the machine tool while the second blanks are used to fill with a coordinate data corresponding to each of the supporting foot portions. The microcontroller unit calculates an adjustment sequence and an adjustment value corresponding to each of the supporting foot portions based on the data in the first and second blanks in conjunction with the sensed data and then displays in the graphical operation interface.
