efore an Authorized Field Service Technician can perform the machine’s final chec
kout, the following requirements must
be met:
•
The machine must be in position and placed on its rest
pads.
•
To move the machine while on the pallet, a 15000 lb.
forklift with a
24” load center & 6’ fork extensions
is
required. Depending on the load center or rating of the
forklift, a larger forklift may be required. The center of
gravity (CG) of the machine while on the pallet is ~42
”
from the edge of the pallet.
•
The TMC must be lifted from either the left- or right-
hand sides. Make certain that the forks are squarely in
the lifting cutouts beneath the machine. See the figures
below.
•
The TMC may be lifted via a crane with 4 points shown in
figure 7 and 8.
•
Once the machine is raised from the pallet, thread the
adjusting screws into the bed casting. Thread the leveling
screws down approximately 1.25
”
as measured from the
bottom of the leveling bolt to the bottom of the casting. The
TMC5 should be placed on the 4 leveling pads labeled L1,
R1, L3 and R3. The leveling screws labeled L2 and R2
should be threaded in but not touching the pad. They will
be adjusted during installation.
•
The machine must be wired (refer to the installation and
service manual for additional information). Make sure to
follow our grounding recommendations.
•
The machine must have air hooked up. We strongly
recommend that a water separator or air dryer be installed
upstream of the TMC air supply.

•
The floor area encompasses the space required to
position the chip container and have the electrical cabinet
or side doors open along the X axis.
•
A solid and level foundation to maintain approximately
7260 lbs. plus the weight of the workpiece (maximum
total of ~ 10000 lbs.) is required. Six leveling screws are
provided.
•
Minimum doorway width is
88”
and minimum height is
90
” that the
TMC can fit through (assumes Z cable carrier
collapsed and Z axis motor removed). The 90
” height
dimension can be reduced to 84
”
if further items are
removed or adjusted.*
*Additional charges may apply.
Electrical
•
A separate 208 VAC (200 to 240 V is acceptable), 68 amps,
60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required. Note
–
Current can be as
high as 86 amps with all options ordered
–
CTS (+12 amps,
4
th
axis (+5 amps), 12K spindle (+1 amp)
•
A separate 480 VAC (432 to 528 V is acceptable), 46 amps,
60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required. Note
–
46 amps based
nominal rated current of transformer.
•
A step-down transformer is required for 480V. TMT provides
this as an option.
•
Machine tool should be earth grounded with a dedicated 8-
foot long copper rod. The 6-gage ground wire should run
from the copper rod to grounding location in the electrical
cabinet. See figures 9 and 10.
Air
•
½”
ID minimum air connection is required.
•
Air pressure must be a minimum of 90 psi.
