A new design of Foot Mounting Bracket from Item, which is available in the UK through Machine Building Systems, is installed on the side of the machine frame, enabling the bottom of the frame to be closer to the floor. Nevertheless, adjustment on the foot still enables the machine to be levelled.
The Foot Mounting Bracket 8 D80 is compatible with levelling feet having an M16 threaded spindle (the bracket has a tapped hole). Each die cast aluminium bracket can take a 4000N load and protrudes 100mm from the side of the frame.
