1 - 2 Site Preparation Pre-Installation Manual for i-Series Machines v387
Preparing the Site
Prepare the site.
To avoid problems when the equipment arrives for installation, Hurco recommends that
the following items be reviewed to ensure that the machine will be ready for the Hurco
Service Engineer to install the machine.
Please refer to the model-specific Specification Sheets for weight and dimension
specifications for each model.
Review the following:
• Capacity of the floor to support machine weight.
• Capacity of forklift or crane to lift the machine and accessory skids.
• Overhead and door clearances to allow the machine to enter building and
machine location.
• Plant obstructions on the way to machine location.
• Code requirements for utility services.
• Proximity of compressed air and proper electrical service.
• Space to allow efficient operation, considering full axes travel and future
servicing access requirements.
• Use of internal personnel for management of installation.
