For information on the size and weights of the imagePRESS Lite C270 / C265 and its options, see Sizes, Weights, and Required Corridor Width for Turning Each Device. Confirm that there is enough moving space and required floor strength to deliver the machine.

Floor Structure

Standard Values of Floor Structure

Measuring Methods for Each Standard Value

Floor Structure

The floor on which this machine will be installed must have a floor load of at least 81.9 lb/ft2 (400 kg/m2). Even if the floor does not have this level of floor load, the machine can be installed near a pillar or beam. Consult with your building contractor before installing the machine.
The weight of the machine will be primarily focused on the floor through the adjuster and wheels. We recommend the use of a mat to distribute the weight.
We also recommend the use of a mat when installing the machine on carpet or wood flooring. For information about mats, contact your dealer.
Do not install the machine on an unstable floor or platform.

Standard Values of Floor Structure

Be sure to install the imagePRESS Lite C270 / C265 and optional equipment on the floor which satisfies the following standard.

Floor Stiffness	The amount of sinking in the floor must be 4 mm or less, if the load of 81.9 lb/ft² (400 kg/m²) is applied to it. If this is not satisfied, use the floor plates partially. * Use the floor plates if the machine is installed on the mat, wooden floor, or rubber floor. * Depending on the amount of sinking in the floor, stack the floor plates to reduce the inequality of height of the joints.
Floor Flatness	The flatness in arbitrary rectangular area 20 1/8" x 19 3/4" (510 mm x 500 mm) must be 1/16" (4 mm) or less.
Floor Vertical Interval	The vertical interval between arbitrary two points of 39 5/16" (1,000 mm) interval must be 0.12" (3 mm) or less. (The amount of sinking in the floor is not included.)
Floor Inclination	The inclination between arbitrary two points of 62 15/16" (1,600 mm) interval must be 0.12" (3 mm) or less.

Measuring Methods for Each Standard Value

The standard values are measured according to the following procedures.
Use the iron plate as a floor plate, which corresponds to 35 1/16" x 19 3/16" (890 mm x 487.5 mm) in size, 28.6 lb (13 kg) in weight, and 1/16" (4 mm) in thickness.

Floor Withstand Load

Confirm the specifications of the floor withstand load to the contractor of the building where the machine is scheduled to be installed.

Floor Stiffness

Prepare one floor plate and put it on the place where the machine is scheduled to be installed. Measure the amount of sinking in the floor when two adults (approximately 333.33 lb (150 kg)) step onto the plate. From this measurements, estimate the amount of sinking in the floor when the machine is installed by doing proportional calculation.

Calculation Method

Each parameter is specified as follows:
t: the height from the floor to the upper surface of the floor plate
Δt: the height from the floor to the upper surface of the floor plate when the load is applied
Ts (inch/lbf): the constant of the estimated amount of sinking in the floor
Ts (ME): the amount of sinking in the floor where this machine is installed

First of all, calculate the constant of the estimated amount of sinking in the floor.
Ts (inch/lbf) = (t - Δt)/333.33
Using this constant, estimate the amount of sinking in the floor where this machine is installed.
Ts (ME) = (599.66 (lbf)/2) x Ts (inch/lbf)

Example

In the case of

t = 0.16" (4 mm) Δt = 0.12" (3 mm)

The constant of estimated amount of sinking in the floor is calculated as shown below.

(0.16 - 0.12)/333.33 = 0.00012

In this example, the estimated amount of sinking in the floor where this machine is installed is 0.03598" (0.091 mm) with the following formula.

Ts (ME) = (599.66 (lbf)/2) x 0.00012 = 0.03598

If you attach the optional POD Deck Lite-C to the main unit, the installation position of the POD Deck Lite-C must be lower than that of the main unit. As with the above description, the difference between the estimated amount of sinking in the floor where the main unit is installed and the one in the floor where the POD Deck Lite-C are installed must be 1/8" (4 mm) or less. Also, if the installation position of the POD Deck Lite-C is higher more than that of the main unit, put the floor plates only under the main unit to reduce the difference.

Floor Flatness

Put one floor plate on the floor where the machine is scheduled to be installed, and put the simplified level on the center of it. To make the floor plate horizontal, insert some spacers (coins) under A or B of the floor plate, as shown in the illustration below. Calculate the floor flatness from the spacer's thickness and the number of them.

Calculation Method

Use coins which have same thickness as a spacer.
Each parameter is specified as follows:
t (inch): the thickness of the spacer
a: the number of the spacers inserted under A
b: the number of the spacers inserted under B
When a > b, the floor flatness is calculated by the following formula.
t x a (inch)

Example

The coins of 0.04" (1 mm) in thickness are used as a spacer.

If two spacers are inserted under A, and nothing is inserted under B to make the floor plate horizontal, the floor flatness is 0.08" (2 mm).

Floor Vertical Interval
(This method is used when
there is a step in the floor.)

Arrange two floor plates next to each other and put them on the floor where the machine is scheduled to be installed. According to the measuring method of the "Floor Flatness", set one floor plate horizontally. And then, set another one horizontally in the same way. Measure the difference of height between two floor plates.


Attention for Measuring Put the two floor plates with each long side aligned.

Floor Inclination
(This method is used when the floor inclines gently.)

Arrange two floor plates next to each other and put them on the floor where the machine is scheduled to be installed. According to the measuring method of the "Floor Flatness", set one floor plate horizontally. And then, insert the spacers (coins) under another floor plate to set plate horizontally with its height same as the one that you have set first. In this case, insert the spacers at the arbitrary position of the floor plate edge. Measure the floor inclination with the thickness of the spacers that are located most away from the reference point (the point determined as a bench mark of the height).
(See the illustration below.)


Attention for Measuring Put the two floor plates with each long side aligned.

Calculation Method

Use coins which have same thickness as a spacer. Each parameter is specified as follows.

t (inch): the thickness of the spacer

a: the number of the spacers

The floor flatness is calculated by the following formula.
S = t x a (inch)

Example

The coins of 0.04" (1 mm) in thickness are used as a spacer. If three spacers are inserted under the position that is most away from the reference point, the floor inclination is 0.12" (3 mm)(= 0.04" (1 mm) x 3).
