Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Currently, the construction of machine tool foundations is a complicated and lengthy procedure with a limited flexibility. In this paper, we present a novel system for constructing machine tool foundations that replaces the need for concrete or concrete-polymer hybrids with a low melting point (LMP) alloy. The system uses a hot bath method to maintain the LMP alloy grouting in liquid form. A fixing device is used to control the embedded depth and positional accuracy of the foundation bolt assembly. The grouting material is injected into the foundation pit by a filling device. This can be extracted from the foundation pit in a later stage with the aid of a recycling device, enabling new machine tool foundations to be manufactured by reusing the LMP alloy grouting material. A prototype was built to test the proposed design. The results show that the system can construct machine tool foundations in a single application, without the delays associated with concrete-based construction, lowering both the economic and environmental cost.
