Planning the Location of the Vipros 357 Queen
The following diagrams provide the details for positioning the Vipros 357 Queen.
! No obstacles are allowed in the worksheet travel area and the ceiling must be at least 40" above the top of the Vipros 357
Queen.
! All of the recommended Safety / Maintenance areas should be used, but at a minimum, the doors of the Fanuc 18PC
control must be able to be opened. Any reduction of the recomended Safety / Maintenance areas may decrease
personnel safety and increase time and expense of installation and maintenance.
! The Vipros 357 Queen and Fanuc 18PC control must be protected from direct sunlight or other heat sources. Exposure to
direct heating sources such as infrared heaters have been shown to affect punch and die alignment.
! The positioning of the SBC EX 5.5 Chiller is very flexible. See page 19, SBC EX 5.5 Chiller, for details.
Moving the Vipros 357 Queen
Lifting or moving of the Vipros 357 Queen should be done only
by professional rigging companies well versed in the moving of
large and heavy industrial machinery. Acceptable moving
methods include, lifting by overhead crane, wheeled dollies
beneath the machine feet, or adequately sized lifttruck forks
beneath the machine frame.
The Vipros 357 Queen has a relatively high center of gravity
and narrow footprint. Care must be taken to prevent
inadvertent tipping of the machine while in motion.
