Anchoring Instructions

Before You Begin

Important! Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to anchor the machine. This document must be used in conjunction with the installation section of the Reference Manual.

Anchoring is not required for proper performance of Haas machines, but is recommended for optimal machine performance. It is strongly recommended that the EC-1600 series and the VS/HS series machines are anchored with the supplied anchor kits.

The Haas machine anchor kits are specifically designed for this purpose. They are not intended to satisfy building, seismic or stationary equipment installation. Such requirements should be provided by an expert.

The anchoring kits include only the hardware to build the anchors. The epoxy required to secure the anchors is not included. Use epoxy with 16000 psi compression and 4000 psi tensile strength such as Chockfast Gray, which is available from ITW Resins. Please refer to their website, www.chockfastgrout.com, to find a local distributor.

Before drilling the anchor cores, make sure there is enough clearance around the machine to install the coolant tank. Please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com) for machine footprint and coolant tank dimensions. These can be found in the “Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each model.

Foundation Requirements

Refer to the Haas Pre-Installation Guide, ES0332, for details on the machine foundation requirement.

Placing the Machine

Refer to the Haas Pre-Installation Guide, ES0332, for details on machine placement.




Anchoring Overview

Setting the anchors is a multiple step process:

Coring: Holes are drilled into the foundation where the machine will be placed.

Anchor Pre-Assembly: The anchoring hardware is partially assembled hand-tight.

Setting the Anchors: Epoxy is poured into the cored holes and the in-ground anchor hardware is set in place.

Anchor Final Installation: The machine is moved to its final position and the above-ground anchors are attached to the machine. They are torqued in increments to a specified rating.

Coring Instructions

Before drilling, please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com) for appropriate hole pattern and machine footprints. These can be found in the “Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each model.

On a 6” (150 mm) slab, cored holes must be 1.5” (38 mm) diameter by 6” (150 mm) deep, (Standard foun-dation requirement).

On a 12” (300 mm) slab, cored holes must be 1.5” (38 mm) diameter 8.5” (215 mm) deep, (EC-1600 series, VS, HS foundation requirement).

Anchor holes for the HS side-mount tool changer are 4" (100 mm) diameter by 10" (250 mm) deep.

NOTE:

Thoroughly clean and dry the cored holes. The holes must be completely free of oil and water. If blasting with air, ensure that the air is free of oil.




Anchor Pre-Assembly

1. Screw the coupling nut onto the 5/8-11 hex head bolt (HHB). The HHB should reach halfway into the coupling nut.

2. Thread the 5/8-11 hex nut halfway up the length of the long threaded end of the stud.

3. Thread the floor plate and the 5/8 washer onto the long end of the stud below the 5/8-11 hex nut.




4. Thread the long end of the stud into the coupling nut as far as it will go.

5. Tighten the 5/8-11 hex nut until the floor plate and washer are held tightly against the coupling nut. Finger-tight pressure is all that is needed at this point.

Procedure Complete.




Setting the Anchors

1. Mix the epoxy per the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Fill the hole until the epoxy is approximately 2" (50 mm) from the top.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERFILL THE HOLE. The epoxy will rise once the anchor assembly is placed in the hole.

3. Place the anchor assembly briefly into the hole (stud end up) and then quickly lift it back out.

At least half of the coupling nut must be covered in epoxy to ensure proper anchoring. When the epoxy cures it must hold the coupling nut firmly in place.

Make certain that the epoxy does not seep over the top of the coupling nut or you may not be able to remove the stud later in this procedure.

4. Reinsert the anchor assembly into the hole, stud-end up. Use a carpenter’s square to make certain that the stud is perpendicular to the floor.

NOTE: At this point you must work quickly as the epoxy will begin to harden.

Refer to the epoxy manufacturer’s instructions for curing time. It typically takes 18-24 hours..

Anchor Installation

1. Once the epoxy has cured, remove the studs. Remove the floor plate, the washer and the 5/8-11 hex nut from each stud.

2. Move the machine into position.

3. Screw the short end of the stud into the coupling nut in the floor. Make sure that the machine base casting does not interfere with the stud.

Thread the stud as far into the coupling nut as it will go.

4. Slide the floor plate down the stud so that it lies flat on the floor.

5. Thread the 3/4-10 hex nut onto the 3/4-10 x 6 HHB and drive it roughly 2" (50 mm) down the bolt.

6. Set the 3/4-10 x 6 HHB head-down on the floor plate and align it so that the anchor strap will fit over both the hex head bolt and the stud.

7. Place the anchor strap onto the bolt and stud.

8. Place the 5/8 washer onto the stud, followed by the 5/8-11 hex nut.

Loosen the anchoring assembly prior to leveling the machine.

9. Make certain that the anchor plate rests firmly on the 3/4-10 hex nut and on the machine base.

Procedure Complete.

Final Anchoring

1. Once the machine has been leveled, torque the 3/4-11 hex nuts on the stud to 50 ft-lb (68 Nm) in the following pattern:

2. Torque the 3/4-11 hex nuts on the studs to 80 ft-lb (109 Nm) in the same pattern.

Please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com) for appropriate hole pattern and machine footprints. These can be found in the “Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each model.
