Weaving or textile machine and process for such a machine

A process for installing a weaving or textile machine of considerable weight of at least about 50 tons and having a beamed base comprising beams, and moving parts which, during weaving or product manufacturing, cause vibrations which spread against or to the base, the process comprising:

• erecting the beams across a width of the machine on a first foundation;
• and
• applying a vibration-absorbing and dimensionally rigid compound in at least a portion of a first space defined by the first foundation and the beams,
• wherein the first space is arranged across essentially the entire width of the machine.

A weaving or textile machine of considerable weight and having moving parts therein, the machine comprising:

• a base including beams arranged across a width of the machine, said moving parts, during weaving, causing vibrations which spread to the base;
• and
• a vibration-absorbing and dimensionally rigid compound comprising concrete located in a space between the beams,
• said compound preventing a substantial spreading of the vibrations to a foundation supporting the machine and being reinforced with both a polymer and reinforcing iron,
• wherein the machine is capable of being erected directly on a floor foundation via the base of the machine,
• wherein the base, viewed in a transverse direction of the base, is divided into a number of blocks,
• wherein the beams of the base are cast together with the compound in at least 20% of a transverse extent of the base, and
• wherein the casting material has a vertical extent which is at least 80% of a vertical extent of the beams.

A process for installing a weaving or textile machine of considerable weight and having a beamed base comprising beams and moving parts which, during weaving or product manufacturing, cause vibrations which spread against or to the base, the process comprising:

• erecting the beams across a width of the machine on a first foundation;
• applying a vibration-absorbing and dimensionally rigid compound in at least a portion of a first space defined by the first foundation and the beams;
• arranging a second space within the first space,
• said second space being defined by longitudinal inner beams and a unit or board which demarcates the second space from the first space;
• ensuring that the second space is a compound-free space;
• mutually fixing the beams with a fixture prior to said applying the vibration-absorbing and dimensionally rigid compound;
• providing the first space with reinforcing iron;
• applying a concrete compound in the first space;
• producing and connecting together, when viewed in the transverse direction of the base, a plurality of base segments or base blocks;
• prefabricating the base segments or base blocks and transporting the base segments or base blocks to an erection site,
• wherein the machine is capable of being erected directly on a floor foundation via the base of the machine,
• wherein the weight is 50 tons or more, and
• wherein the weight of the compound is approximately 20% of the total weight of the machine.
