Machine equipment is moved from the manufacturing to the delivery locations, post delivery installations, and layout changes. For this, selections of casters that are convenient for moving, and adjusters for installations will become important. Here, casters and adjusters are explained as the Bingo Game machine as an example.

(1) Casters and adjusters

Casters:

・Wheeled support component convenient for moving machines and equipment.
・There are types that provide lesser turning resistance when changing directions, with stoppers, vibration absorbing models.
・There are types with characteristic wheels such as chemical resistance, dustproof, quiet (rubber, urethane, nylon).

Adjusters:

・Support component for machine equipment installations with fine height and level adjustments.
・There are integrated type with casters, and stand-alone adjusters.
・There are also anti-vibration adjusters with an emphasis on anti-vibration performance.
・For heavy equipment, anti-vibration mounts (MISUMI: KFJH、KFEH、KFJM、KFEM) are used.
・For preventing inadvertent movements such as during earthquakes, adjuster anchoring components (Adjuster fixing plates) are used.
・For small and light equipment, seating plates can also be used.

(2) In the case of Bingo Game machine

・Since this unit is used at shows etc., nylon wheeled small type with small turning resistance is selected.
・HCFTF model casters are suitable for the frame unit.
・At installation location, adjust the bolt shaft so that the adjusters are slightly longer than the height of the casters (so the casters do not tough the ground), then make the horizontal adjustments at the equipment base plate with a bubble level, etc.
