sometimes used although these are only
slightly elastic. Even with theses precau-
tionary means, however, settling cannot
be strictly ruled out. Besides, inadmis-
sible vibrations can be transferred via the
foundation into the surroundings and may
there affect the plant personnel and the
environment. In extreme cases the vibra-
tions can even be damaging to parts of
the plant building.

                                                                                               Elastic Support of Printing Presses (Principles)

• GERB spring elements and Viscodamp-
   ers® provide printing machines with ex-
   cellent protection against the effects
   of earthquakes.

• By means of electronic equipment the
  printing machine and the foundation can
  be monitored giving an indication of
  the machine’s wear and tear.

• Smaller printing machines can be
   mounted right on a spring supported
   steel frame or a spring-cushioned
   platform. Finally, it is possible to inte-
   grate an entire floor area complete with
   spring-mounted presses into the build-
   ing structure so that construction cost      Foundation System of a KBA Printing Press
   is reduced and valuable space is gained
   beneath the machines. In all of these
   cases the transfer of vibrations into
   the building is prevented by the spring
   support.

• Vibration measurements of elasti-
   cally supported printing machines have
   shown that with this kind of support the
   acceleration values in the machine are
   lower than with conventional support.
   Since these reduced accelerations are a
   measure of the machine’s wear, one can       Spring Support of a KBA Printing Press
   simultaneously assume that the lowered
   accelerations mean prolonged lifetime
   of the machine and lower mainte-
   nance costs.

• The transfer of structure borne noise
   is prevented by the dynamic separa-
   tion of the machine from the building
   itself. So the noise level caused by the
   machine is correspondingly reduced
   in the adjacent rooms.

         Spring elements and Viscodampers® are
         selected according to the machine data
         and the conditions of the surroundings.
         The cylindrical coil springs as well as all
         parts of the casings are given high-quality
         corrosion protection at the factory.

         GERB has its own engineering division
         for static and dynamic analysis and – if
         desired – for the formwork and reinforce-
         ment drawings of the foundation includ-
         ing bar bending lists.

         GERB’s assembly division can independ-
         ently carry out the installation of the
         spring elements and Viscodampers®.
         Preliminary construction measures on site
         are therefore unnecessary.

         For assistance in solving your vibration
         problems and recommendations for in-
         stallation of all types of printing machines
         you are invited to contact our engineers
         in the GERB office nearest to you.
