Pre-delivery
Before receiving the Equator gauging system, there are a number of considerations that should be made. These
are as follows:
Equator 300 gauging system
• The Equator 300 system is very capable measuring device. When working with the level of precision the
system can achieve, high levels of vibration will have a negative effect. It is recommended that the machine
should be positioned on a sturdy platform such as a workbench with 4 legs constructed of cross braced
steel box section.
• The Equator 300 system requires 2 single phase power sockets. One socket will be required to power the
Equator 300 Controller and the other to power the display monitor. It is recommended that 2 single phase
power sockets be in close proximity to the planned location where the machine will be positioned.
Equator 500 gauging system
• The Equator 500 system will arrive in a packaging crate. The crate is larger than a standard single door
but will fit through a set of standard height double doors. The crate has positions to allow it to be lifted via
a forklift or other forked mechanical lifting system. The packaged machine weighs 155 kgs and no attempt
should be made to manually lift it. It is recommended that a suitable forked mechanical lifting system be
available for the delivery and set up of the Equator 500 system.
• The Equator 500 system when unpacked will not fit through a standard single door but will fit through a set
of standard double doors. It is recommended that the route used to take the Equator 500 from its point of
receival to its final position where it will be operated, be checked to make sure that the Equator 500 system
will fit through the points of access.
• The unpacked Equator 500 system (without a fixture plate) weighs 75 kgs. It is therefore not recommended
that it be manually lifted. The Equator 500 system has eye bolts on the top which can be used to lift the
machine using a hoist or gantry crane. It is recommended that a suitable forked mechanical lifting system,
mechanical hoist or gantry crane be available for the manoeuvring and positioning of the machine.
• If a hoist or gantry crane is not available, the Equator 500 system has clearance underneath for a forked
mechanical lifting system (extreme care should be taken when lifting the machine using this method to
make sure not to damage the machine and that the weight of the machine is evenly distributed).
• The Equator 500 system is very capable measuring device. When working with the level of precision the
system can achieve, high levels of vibration will have a negative effect. It is recommended that the machine
should be positioned on a sturdy platform such as a workbench with 4 legs constructed of cross braced
steel box section.
• The Equator 500 system requires 2 single phase power sockets. One socket will be required to power the
Equator 500 Controller and the other to power the display monitor. It is recommended that 2 single phase
power sockets be in close proximity to the planned location where the machine will be positioned.
